Stained concrete and epoxy garage floors in River Ridge
A concrete coating is only as good as the slab under it. Our floor coatings page covers the systems; here's what the prep involves.
Moisture testing the slab
ASTM's slab humidity standard (F2170) says excess moisture under a coating can cause debonding and microbial growth. So every slab gets tested before any stain or epoxy goes on.
Epoxy for garages and workshops
Sherwin-Williams notes that epoxy resin is very hard but can scratch fairly easily, and that the finish coat usually uses resins with more chemical or UV resistance. Ask which topcoat fits how you use the garage.
Stained concrete for living areas and patios
We also stain and seal concrete where you want the slab itself to be the floor. It starts with the same moisture test as epoxy.

How it works
Refinish or replace the floors in an established River Ridge home
Before you replace a wood floor, price a refinish. The National Wood Flooring Association's guidance makes the choice easier, and our floor sanding and refinishing page walks through the work.
- 01
River Ridge homes from the 1960s and 1970s
The Census estimates 6,224 homes in River Ridge for 2019 to 2023. Of those, 4,610 are single-family detached houses, and 3,492 went up in the 1960s or 1970s. In a house from those decades, have the wear layer measured before you decide between sanding and new boards.
- 02
A full sand and refinish
NWFA recommends a complete sand and refinish for deep scratches and dents, or once the finish has worn through to bare wood. Sanding back to raw wood is also the moment to change the floor's color.
- 03
A maintenance coat
A floor that's only dull may need a maintenance coat instead: clean the existing finish, sand it lightly and add a fresh coat.
- 04
How many more sandings a floor can take
NWFA says that depends on the thickness of the wear layer, the floor's flatness and condition, and the skill and equipment of whoever sands it. We check those before we quote.
Humidity, levees and big remodels
The Flood Protection Authority-East maintains nearly 40 miles of Mississippi River levees and floodgates across East Jefferson, Orleans and St. Bernard parishes. Levees lower the risk, but a large remodel still raises flood and humidity questions.
Crawl spaces
Under a raised house, the crawl space usually runs cooler and damper than the rooms above it, per NWFA, so the subfloor gets a moisture reading first.
Indoor humidity
NWFA's general range for wood floors is 30% to 50% relative humidity at 60 to 80 degrees F. Ask whether the product suits our humidity range.
The 50% rule
FEMA counts floor finishes when a floodplain community tallies a substantial improvement, but carpet over existing finished flooring may be left out. The Census lists River Ridge as a census designated place in Jefferson Parish, not an incorporated city, so permit questions go to the Parish.

FAQ
Common Questions About Flooring in River Ridge
Talk to an Expert about flooring in River Ridge.
Do you install stained concrete or epoxy in River Ridge?
Yes, for garages and living areas. Every slab gets a moisture test first, because trapped moisture can make a coating debond.
Can my original hardwood be refinished instead of replaced?
Usually. NWFA recommends a full sand and refinish for deep scratches or a worn-through finish, and a lighter maintenance coat for a floor that's only dull.
What humidity should a River Ridge home with wood floors keep?
NWFA's general target is 30% to 50% relative humidity, with a higher range in some climates. Ask whether a wood product suits our humidity range.
Which nearby towns do you also serve?
Harahan, Metairie, Kenner and Gretna, along with New Orleans and the Northshore.
