Concrete and epoxy flooring in Kokomo
Kokomo Anchor Epoxy Flooring coats, polishes and repairs concrete floors for homes and businesses in Kokomo. Homeowners here mostly call us about garages and basements, business owners about shop, plant and store floors, and a lot of those slabs carry old paint, sealer or oil that has to come off first.
Working in Kokomo: permits, slabs and what sets the price
In Kokomo, building permits come from the city's Building and Zoning Department, and its application lists work such as rewiring, a new electrical service, driveways, room additions and pools, not floor coatings. That list doesn't settle whether your floor job needs a permit, so we check with the department before we start and handle the paperwork when one is needed. If it is, the start date waits on the permit.
The price of a Kokomo floor turns mostly on the slab, not the finish. Moisture coming up through the concrete, old coatings or adhesive to strip, cracks and pitting to fill, and the size and layout of the room set how much grinding and repair the job needs, and the system you choose sets the rest. The schedule depends on the slab being ready and on the product's weather needs, and your estimate spells out both the prep and the finish.
Kokomo houses run from older homes with basements and detached garages to newer ones with attached garages, and we see plenty of shop and plant floors that have taken years of traffic and oil. Older slabs often carry paint or sealer from a past owner, which is why I test before quoting a coating. We bring the same testing and prep to jobs in Carmel and Peru.

Our flooring services in Kokomo
Most Kokomo jobs start with the same step, getting the slab clean, sound and dry, and the services below are the finishes and repairs we put on top of it.
Epoxy Floor Coatings
For Kokomo garages and workrooms with sound, dry concrete, epoxy floor coatings give a hard surface that cleans up easily.
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
Shops, plants and stores around Kokomo get commercial and industrial epoxy floor coatings built for forklifts, carts and spilled fluids.
Garage Floor Coatings
Our garage floor coatings start by grinding off the oil, tire marks and old paint that many Kokomo garage slabs carry.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
When you want your Kokomo garage back sooner, polyaspartic floor coatings cure faster than standard epoxy and hold their color in sunlight.
Metallic Epoxy Flooring
Metallic epoxy flooring suits finished basements, showrooms and store floors in Kokomo where the floor is meant to be seen.
Urethane Cement Flooring
For plants and wash bays in Kokomo that see hot water and harsh cleaners, urethane cement flooring holds up better than epoxy.
Polished Concrete Flooring
We grind a sound Kokomo slab to a shine for polished concrete flooring, a good fit for stores and open basements.
Stained Concrete Flooring
Older Kokomo basements with plain gray concrete can take on warm color with stained concrete flooring once the old sealer comes off.
Terrazzo Flooring
For Kokomo lobbies, entries and storefronts that want a hard-wearing decorative floor, we install terrazzo flooring poured and ground in place.
Basement Flooring
Basement slabs in Kokomo can hold moisture, so our basement flooring work starts with a moisture test before we pick a coating.
Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation
Concrete grinding and surface preparation opens up Kokomo slabs so a coating can grip, and it's where most of our floors begin.
Concrete Sealing
Bare garage, patio and shop slabs around Kokomo stay easier to clean when concrete sealing keeps oil and dirt from soaking in.
Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays
Worn, pitted or patched concrete on older Kokomo properties can often be saved with concrete resurfacing and overlays instead of a tear-out.
Self-Leveling Concrete & Overlays
Where an older Kokomo basement or shop floor dips or slopes, self-leveling concrete and overlays give a flat base for the finish.
Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
We bring rough or cracked Kokomo pool decks back with pool deck coatings and resurfacing that add a slip-resistant texture.
Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal
In many Kokomo homes and shops, concrete floor stripping and removal comes first, taking off peeling paint, failed epoxy or carpet glue.

Questions about floors in Kokomo
These answers cover the permit, code and cost questions that come up on Kokomo floor jobs. If your question isn't here, call or write and ask about your own floor.
How long is a building permit good in Kokomo before work has to start?
A Kokomo permit expires if active work hasn't begun within 6 months of the day it's issued. Work that stops or is abandoned for 6 months after it starts can only pick up again under a new permit, so when a floor job needs one, we schedule it well inside that window.
What happens if a required inspection is missed in Kokomo?
The city's permit form says a missed required inspection can bring fines or penalties. You may also have to undo finished work so the inspector can check it against code, so on a permitted job we don't cover anything up before it has been inspected.
Which building code applies to homes in Kokomo, Indiana?
Homes in Kokomo fall under the Indiana Residential Code, the state's version of the International Residential Code with Indiana amendments. It covers all construction on one- and two-family homes and their accessory buildings anywhere in the state, and local governments like Kokomo are required by law to enforce it.
How do I find out if my Kokomo shop or store floor project needs zoning approval?
Call the Kokomo-Howard County Plan Commission, which takes zoning questions at 765-456-2330 or khcpc@cityofkokomo.org. The city's commercial permit guide notes that a business project may need approvals beyond a building permit before construction starts, and you can schedule a consultation to sort out which ones apply.
How much does a garage floor coating cost in Kokomo?
The price comes down to the size of the floor, how much prep the slab needs and the coating system you choose, so I give you a figure after I've seen and tested the floor. A single epoxy coat costs less up front than a full flake system with a polyaspartic topcoat, and a slab with old paint or deep cracks costs more to get ready than clean, sound concrete.
What causes epoxy floors to peel in Kokomo garages and basements?
Peeling usually starts under the coating, with moisture pushing up through the slab, old paint or sealer the epoxy can't grip, or concrete that was never ground open. On older Kokomo slabs we often find a past owner's paint or sealer, and it has to come off completely before a new coating goes down.
