Epoxy Floor Services
Concrete doesn’t fail all at once. It starts as dusting, a stain that won’t scrub out, or a coating from a previous install that’s already peeling at the corners. By the time most people call us, bare concrete has stopped working for the space it’s in.
Black Mountain Epoxy Floors installs residential and commercial epoxy and polyurethane coating systems throughout Spearfish, South Dakota and the Black Hills region, and travels nationwide for larger commercial projects. Every job starts the same way — we look at the slab, ask how the space is used day to day, and recommend a system built for that use, not just whatever’s easiest to install.
How to Choose the Right Epoxy Floor & Epoxy Coatings System
Not every floor needs the same coating, and this is the step most cut-rate installers skip. A system that’s overbuilt for a quiet residential garage is a waste of money. A system that’s underbuilt for a commercial kitchen or shop floor will fail early, no matter how good the installation looked on day one.
A few things determine what a floor actually needs:
- How much traffic it sees — occasional vehicle parking is a very different load than forklifts or daily foot traffic
- What it’s exposed to — moisture, road salt, chemicals, oil, and temperature swings all wear coatings differently
- How it’s cleaned — some environments need a coating that can handle harsh cleaning chemicals or frequent pressure washing
- What it needs to look like — a showroom floor has different priorities than a warehouse floor
We walk through all of this before recommending a system, because matching the coating to the space is what determines whether a floor lasts two years or twenty.

- Slip-resistant options
- Easy maintenance
- Long-lasting durability
Residential Epoxy Flooring
Garage floors take a beating that most people don’t think about until the concrete already shows it — hot tires, dropped tools, road salt tracked in all winter, oil drips, and constant foot traffic. Left bare, concrete starts to dust, stain, and break down at the surface, which only gets worse over time.
Black Mountain Epoxy Floors installs full coating systems for one, two, and three-car garages, using a commercial-grade Sherwin-Williams base and topcoat system rather than a big-box DIY kit. The result is a sealed, durable surface that’s dramatically easier to clean, resists hot tire pickup and staining, and holds up to years of daily use without peeling or wearing thin.
Ideal For
- Garages
- Basements
- Laundry Rooms
- Workshops
- Utility Rooms
- Patios
Commercial Epoxy Flooring
Commercial floors are functional infrastructure — they affect how a business actually operates day to day. A warehouse floor needs to handle pallet jacks and heavy equipment. A shop floor needs to resist oil, solvents, and constant foot traffic. A kitchen or facility floor needs to hold up to washdowns, chemicals, and health code requirements without breaking down.
Black Mountain Epoxy Floors installs commercial-grade coating systems for shops, warehouses, service bays, and industrial facilities, using the same TileClad base and ArmorSeal Rexthane 1 topcoat system trusted in demanding commercial environments like water treatment facilities, airport hangars, and mining operations. When a coating system holds up in those environments, it’s more than capable of handling a typical commercial space.
Perfect For
- Warehouses
- Retail Stores
- Showrooms
- Restaurants
- Office Buildings
- Auto Shops
- Commercial Garages
Our Coating Systems
Full Flake Epoxy Colored flake is broadcast into the base coat for a textured, dimensional finish. It’s our most requested residential option because it hides everyday wear well and adds a slip-resistant texture — a practical choice for garages and light commercial spaces alike.
Metallic Epoxy Coatings Pigmented metallic coatings create a three-dimensional, marbled finish that’s become popular for showroom floors, retail spaces, and standout residential garages where appearance is a priority.
Solid Color Epoxy A clean, uniform finish suited to commercial and industrial spaces where consistency and easy maintenance matter more than texture — common in shops, warehouses, and facility floors.
Water-Based & Acid Stains For a more natural, variegated concrete look, stains can be applied on their own or finished with a protective topcoat for added durability.
Every system is finished with the same commercial-grade topcoat, regardless of which look you choose — the finish changes, the durability underneath doesn’t.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between residential and commercial epoxy coatings?
The core coating system is often similar, but commercial spaces typically need a higher build thickness, greater chemical resistance, and a finish suited to heavier daily traffic. Residential garage floors generally prioritize appearance and everyday durability, while commercial floors are selected based on the specific chemicals, equipment, and traffic the space sees.
Can epoxy be applied over an old, failing coating?
Not directly. A previous coating that’s peeling or failing has to be mechanically removed during surface prep — coating over a failing surface just guarantees the new system fails the same way. This is why proper grinding and surface prep matters more than the coating itself.
Yes. While Black Mountain Epoxy Floors is based in Spearfish, SD and primarily serves the Black Hills region, we travel nationwide for the right residential or commercial project. Contact us to discuss your location and project scope.
How do I know which coating system is right for my space?
It depends on traffic level, exposure to chemicals or moisture, and how the space is used day to day. We evaluate this during a free quote and recommend a system suited to your specific floor, rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
