Epoxy and concrete floors in Cicero
Kokomo Anchor Epoxy Flooring is a flooring contractor that coats, polishes and repairs concrete floors for homes and businesses in Cicero, Indiana. Most calls here are for garages, basements and pool decks on houses near the north end of Morse Lake, along with shop floors out in Jackson Township.
Working in Cicero: permits, slabs and what sets the price
In Cicero, the Zoning Administrator issues the permit needed before a building is put up, moved, added to, torn down or structurally altered. The Town of Cicero's permit list names that kind of work, along with garages, pools and remodeling, but not floor coatings, so whether your floor needs one depends on what else is being done. I check with the city's permit office before we start, and when a permit is needed, we handle the paperwork and plan the schedule around its inspections.
We're based in Kokomo and work in Cicero the same way we cover Westfield and the other cities nearby. The floors here run from attached garages with years of oil and old sealer on them to lake house pool decks and shop slabs out in Jackson Township. We're licensed and fully insured, and you're welcome to ask to see it before we start.
Price mostly follows the slab. The size of the floor, the cracks to fill, the old coatings to grind off, the moisture reading and the finish you pick all add or take away work. The schedule turns on that prep, the product's weather needs and any permit, and the estimate I write after seeing your floor explains the prep as well as the finish.

Floor services for Cicero homes and shops
Most of what we do in Cicero starts with concrete that's already there, under an attached garage, a basement, a pool deck or a shop, so prep comes first on nearly every job below.
Epoxy Floor Coatings
An epoxy coat suits Cicero basements and workshops where the bare slab dusts, stains and is hard to keep clean.
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
For storefronts, shops and plant floors in and around Cicero, we lay industrial epoxy systems built for forklifts, carts and cleaning.
Garage Floor Coatings
In a Cicero garage, oil drips and road grit soak into bare concrete, while a coated floor wipes clean.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
A polyaspartic topcoat suits a Cicero garage you want back in use quickly, since it cures faster than standard epoxy.
Metallic Epoxy Flooring
Finished basements and lake house rec rooms are where we usually lay metallic epoxy, a poured finish with a swirled, glossy look.
Urethane Cement Flooring
Shops in Jackson Township that wash floors down or work with heat do better with urethane cement than with plain epoxy.
Polished Concrete Flooring
Sound slabs in Cicero stores and open living spaces can be ground and polished to a shine with no coating to wear.
Stained Concrete Flooring
Stain soaks color into a plain Cicero basement or patio slab, and it looks best on concrete without heavy patching.
Terrazzo Flooring
Terrazzo, stone or glass chips set in a binder and ground smooth, suits busy entries and lobbies in Cicero businesses.
Basement Flooring
Basement slabs sit against the ground, so we choose a coating or overlay that suits what the moisture reading shows.
Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation
Nearly every coating we put down in Cicero starts here, grinding the slab open so the new floor bonds to clean concrete.
Concrete Sealing
A penetrating sealer is the simplest protection for a sound patio, garage apron or shop floor that doesn't need a full coating.
Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays
Pitted garage floors and worn patios in older parts of Cicero can often be resurfaced with an overlay instead of torn out.
Self-Leveling Concrete & Overlays
Uneven basement and room addition slabs in Cicero homes get a self-leveling pour first, so tile, vinyl or a coating sits flat.
Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
Pool decks at lake houses take sun, water and bare feet, and a textured coating gives better footing than worn, chalky concrete.
Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal
Peeling garage paint or failed epoxy has to come off down to bare concrete before anything new will bond to it.

Questions about floors in Cicero
These are the questions Cicero homeowners and business owners ask us about permits, prep and price. If yours isn't here, call or send the form and ask about your own floor.
Who do I call about a building permit for a floor project in Cicero, Indiana?
Call the Cicero Planning Department at (317) 984-5845, which answers questions on building permits and inspections. The state also says work that doesn't need a state filing may still need a local permit, so it's worth asking even on a smaller job.
How much does an epoxy garage or basement floor cost in Cicero, IN?
Your price depends on the size of the floor, how much prep the slab needs and which coating system you choose, so I give a figure only after seeing the concrete. Grinding off old paint, filling cracks and dealing with moisture add work, while a sound slab and a simpler system keep the cost down.
What happens if a building inspection in Cicero can't be finished?
If an inspection isn't complete or the inspector can't get to the work, Cicero charges a re-inspection fee of $60.00 for a residential job or $100.00 for a commercial one. When a permit applies, we keep the work area clear and open on inspection day so it doesn't come to that.
How do I plan an epoxy floor for a new garage in Cicero?
Plan the coating around your builder's permit and inspections, since Cicero has a separate permit application for garages, attached or detached. The permit form sets a $1258.00 fine for occupying or using a structure before it has its Certificate of Occupancy or Certificate of Compliance. New concrete has to cure and dry before a coating will bond, so I test the slab rather than go by the calendar.
How do I know if my concrete floor in Cicero is ready for epoxy?
Your floor is ready when the slab is dry enough, clean of old sealer and paint, and sound, and the way to know is to test it. On the estimate visit I check moisture and look for old coatings and cracks, and if the slab isn't ready, I'll tell you what it needs first.
What causes epoxy to peel off a garage floor in Cicero?
Peeling usually comes from a coating laid over old sealer, paint or smooth concrete it can't grip, or from moisture pushing up through the slab. That's why we grind the concrete open and test for moisture first, and why a failed coating comes off to bare concrete before anything new goes down.
