Epoxy Flooring in University Park, NM

Epoxy flooring in University Park is mostly about rentals. This census area is almost the same as the New Mexico State University campus, bounded by University Avenue, Interstate 10 and Interstate 25, and surrounded by Las Cruces. Wikipedia lists a 2020 median age of 20.8. Most people living here are students, and most units turn over often. For an owner, the floor in a rental garage, laundry room or storage area takes a beating every year.

Why landlords coat concrete

A sealed floor is easier to clean between tenants. Oil drips, paint spills and sticky residue wipe off instead of soaking in. Bare concrete gives off fine dust and holds stains, and it gets harder to show a unit when the garage looks worn. A coated floor also cuts down on deposit disputes, because the condition before and after a lease is easy to see.

For rentals we usually suggest:

• A full flake broadcast, which hides small scuffs and dirt between cleanings
• A clear polyaspartic topcoat that can take traffic within a day or two
• A mid-tone color, which shows less tire marking than very light or very dark shades
• Sealed edges and stem walls, so mop water does not get under the coating

Timing work around the school year

The 2020 census counted 742 housing units here, with 63.7% vacant on census day and a rental vacancy rate of 44.7%. Many units sit empty between leases or over breaks. That is the best time to coat a floor. Summer and winter breaks give owners a window with no tenants inside, and the work can be done without moving anyone's belongings. Let us know your move-out and move-in dates and we will plan around them.

Common-area and shared floors

Small multi-unit properties near campus often have shared laundry rooms, storage rooms or entry slabs. These get heavy foot traffic and the occasional spill. A thicker epoxy with an anti-slip texture handles that. For entries that get sun, we use a UV-stable topcoat so the color does not fade or yellow.

Owner-occupied homes near campus

Not everyone here rents. Faculty, staff and long-time residents nearby also want garages they can use as workshops, gyms or storage. Those floors get the same full prep we use everywhere: diamond grinding, crack repair and a coating system picked for how the room is used.

Lower-maintenance floors for absentee owners

Many owners of campus-area rentals do not live nearby. A coated floor needs very little care. Tenants can sweep it and mop it with water, and a property manager can see its condition at a glance during a walkthrough. If a topcoat ever wears in a busy lane, it can be scuffed and recoated without redoing the whole floor. That keeps long-term costs down on a unit that changes hands often.
