Garage & Shop Epoxy in Nampa, Idaho

Garage floor coatings in Nampa

Nampa is the largest city in Canyon County, with about 100,200 people at the 2020 census, about 20 miles west of Boise on I-84. It grew up in the 1880s around the Oregon Short Line Railroad and was incorporated in 1891. The downtown street grid still runs at an angle, parallel to the tracks. Northwest Nazarene University and the College of Western Idaho are here, and the city has grown fast in every direction.

Older and newer garages

Nampa’s older neighborhoods near downtown and around the university have homes from the early and mid-1900s, some with detached garages and older, worn slabs. Ranches from the 1960s through the 1990s often have attached two-car garages. Newer subdivisions on the edges of the city have attached two- and three-car garages with young concrete.

What we see on Nampa slabs

• **Older slabs with scaling.** Years of melt and deicers can flake the surface near the door, leaving rough, pitted concrete.
• **Old paint and coatings.** Many older garages have been painted once or twice. Paint peeling in patches must be ground off.
• **Oil-soaked concrete.** Long-time work garages often have deep stains under where vehicles parked.
• **Shops and outbuildings.** Many Nampa properties have detached shops for trucks, trailers and equipment.

Older slabs need more prep

On older, scaled or oily concrete, prep is the biggest part of the job. We grind the whole floor, fill pits and spalls, treat oil stains, and check moisture. That costs more than coating a new slab, but it is what keeps the floor from peeling. See garage floor prep.

Shop floors

For shops with heavier use, we can build a thicker system and add anti-slip texture in work zones. Flake floors hide dirt and grit well in working spaces.

Horse trailers and rodeo season

Nampa is home to the Snake River Stampede rodeo, and many local families keep horse trailers, tack and feed in shops and garages. Trailers are heavy and drip, and tack rooms see a lot of dirt. A tough flake floor with grip handles it.

Nampa garages near the university are often rented to students and staff. A coated floor resists oil drips and is easy to clean between tenants. We can coordinate access with tenants if you are a landlord.
