Epoxy Flooring NJ

Epoxy flooring is one of the most durable and low-maintenance options for both homes and businesses in NJ. It’s a seamless surface made by combining resins and hardeners, creating a finish that’s resistant to stains, moisture, heavy traffic, and everyday wear. Whether it’s a garage, basement, workshop, or commercial space, epoxy is a practical choice because it looks clean, lasts for years, and requires very little upkeep.

At Gambrick Construction, we’ve seen how the right flooring can completely change a space. Our experience with epoxy systems means we understand the prep work, materials, and installation methods needed to get a floor that not only looks good but also stands up to New Jersey’s climate and daily use.

Why Choose Gambrick for Epoxy Flooring in New Jersey

With over 40 years of experience, Gambrick knows that a high-quality epoxy floor depends on more than just installation. It’s about understanding your space, using the right materials, and applying proven techniques.

• Local Knowledge: New Jersey homes and businesses face different challenges. Shore properties deal with sand, salt, and humidity, while northern basements often need extra moisture protection. We adjust our approach based on these conditions.
• Preparation Matters: Proper surface cleaning, grinding, and patching are critical. Skipping steps here can lead to peeling or chipping later.
• Quality Materials: Using premium resins, hardeners, and topcoats ensures durability, chemical resistance, and long-lasting performance.
• Craftsmanship: Every floor is installed carefully, layer by layer, with attention to detail. This includes primers, decorative elements, topcoats, and proper curing.
• Tailored Solutions: Different spaces need different systems—solid color, flakes, metallic, or quartz. Choosing the right one helps the floor perform well and look appropriate for the area.

If you’re thinking about epoxy flooring, understanding these factors helps you make informed choices. A well-prepared, properly installed floor can last for years, resist daily wear, and handle New Jersey’s unique conditions.

Benefits of Epoxy Flooring

Epoxy flooring has become a go-to choice for homeowners and businesses across New Jersey because it solves a lot of common flooring problems. Here are some of the biggest advantages:

• Durability that lasts: Epoxy creates a rock-hard surface that holds up against heavy foot traffic, vehicles, tools, and everyday wear. In places like garages or basements, where floors take a beating, epoxy is tough enough to handle it.
• Easy to keep clean: Unlike bare concrete or tile grout, epoxy doesn’t absorb dirt or stains. Dust, salt from winter roads, and spills can be wiped up quickly, making it a great fit for Shore homes dealing with sand and moisture.
• Resistant to moisture and chemicals: New Jersey weather brings humidity, rain, and snow. Epoxy flooring stands up to moisture, as well as things like road salt, oil, and household cleaners.
• Custom look: Beyond its strength, epoxy can be finished in different colors and styles. From a clean, high-gloss garage floor to a decorative flake finish in a basement, it’s easy to match the look to the space.
• Cost-effective over time: While the upfront installation is an investment, epoxy’s long lifespan and minimal maintenance often make it more affordable than replacing or repairing other flooring types.

Types of Epoxy Flooring

Not all epoxy floors are the same. Different systems work better depending on how the space will be used and the look you want.

Here are some of the most common options we install for homeowners and businesses in New Jersey:

• Solid Color Epoxy: A smooth, seamless finish that’s perfect for garages and basements. It gives a clean, polished look and is easy to keep spotless, which makes it popular in towns like Brick and Toms River where garages often double as workshop or storage space.
• Epoxy Flake Floors: Decorative chips are added to the epoxy for texture, color, and slip resistance. These floors are a favorite in Shore communities like Point Pleasant and Manasquan because they hide dirt and sand while still looking sharp.
• Metallic Epoxy: A high-gloss, decorative finish that creates a marbled or three-dimensional look. It’s often chosen for basements, showrooms, or even restaurants across Monmouth and Ocean County where design and style are just as important as durability.
• Quartz Epoxy: A mix of epoxy and quartz sand that produces a textured, slip-resistant surface. It’s a good fit for outdoor areas, commercial kitchens, and places that see heavy use, like workshops in Freehold or Red Bank.

Each option has its own benefits, and the right choice usually comes down to how the space will be used, your style preferences, and your budget.

Our Epoxy Flooring Process

Getting a long-lasting epoxy floor is all about proper preparation and installation. We follow a step-by-step process to make sure every floor holds up to daily use and New Jersey’s changing weather.

1. Surface Preparation: We start by cleaning and grinding the concrete to remove dirt, coatings, or weak spots. This step is critical because epoxy bonds best to a smooth, open surface. Skipping it is the most common reason DIY epoxy jobs peel or chip.
2. Repairs and Patching: Any cracks or holes in the concrete are filled so the base is solid. This prevents issues later on and ensures the finished floor looks seamless.
3. Primer Application: A primer coat helps the epoxy soak into the surface, improving adhesion and extending the life of the floor.
4. Epoxy Installation: We apply the epoxy resin in layers, depending on the system chosen (solid color, flake, metallic, or quartz). Decorative elements, like flakes, are broadcast at this stage.
5. Topcoat and Sealing: A clear topcoat adds protection from UV rays, chemicals, and daily wear. This gives the floor its glossy, easy-to-clean finish.
6. Curing: The final step is patience. Epoxy needs time to harden and cure properly before it can handle foot traffic or vehicles. In most cases, it’s ready for light use within 24 hours and full use in about 72 hours.

By taking the time to do each step right, we deliver epoxy floors that don’t just look great on day one, they keep performing year after year in garages, basements, and commercial spaces across Ocean and Monmouth County.

Epoxy Flooring vs. Other Options

Epoxy flooring stands out because it combines strength, moisture resistance, and a seamless look that other materials can’t match. Here’s a quick comparison:

• Concrete Paint or Sealer: Epoxy bonds with the concrete, forming a thick protective layer that won’t peel like standard paint.
• Tile: No grout lines to clean and far better moisture resistance—ideal for basements or garages.
• Polished Concrete: Offers more traction and chemical resistance, with more color and finish options.
• Vinyl or Laminate: Epoxy won’t lift, warp, or trap moisture, and it lasts much longer in high-use spaces.

Epoxy delivers long-term durability and easy maintenance while still offering plenty of design flexibility for NJ homes and businesses.

How long does epoxy flooring last?
