Where We Work, Grouped by When the Homes Were Built
We install, repair and recoat floors in the City of St. Louis and St. Louis County, Missouri. The towns below are grouped by when most of their homes went up, because a slab's age shapes the prep more than its ZIP code does. Every job gets diamond-grind prep and a moisture check before coating.
The City of St. Louis
St. Louis itself is the oldest ring: the median home in the city was built in 1938, and more than half went up before 1940. After the fire of 1849 the city rebuilt in brick, and many garages now sit behind the house, off the alley. Old city slabs usually need the most grinding and crack repair, so that's where every estimate here starts.
Newer Suburbs: Built Mostly 1970s–1990s
Wildwood (median home built 1992, the newest on our list), Chesterfield (1982), Town and Country (1983), Ellisville and Fenton. Slabs here are mostly 25 to 50 years old: sound, but worn and stained, and ready for a full resurfacing with flake or metallic under a polyaspartic top coat.
Ranch and Split-Level Ring: Mostly 1960s–1970s
Ballwin (median 1976), Creve Coeur (1980), Des Peres, Manchester and Maryland Heights. Between 41% and 57% of the homes in these towns were built in the 1960s and '70s, so many garage floors are 40 to 65 years old. Expect some crack repair and oil-stain removal before the coating goes down.
Post-War Ring: Mostly 1950s–1960s
Florissant, Crestwood, Brentwood and Frontenac. In Florissant and Crestwood about seven in ten homes date from the 1950s and '60s. These slabs have been through decades of winters and road brine, so grinding, crack repair and a moisture check come first.
Old Inner-Ring Suburbs
Kirkwood (median home built 1962), Webster Groves (1952), Ladue (1955), Clayton (1954) and University City (1949). Kirkwood is usually called the first planned suburb west of the Mississippi, and homes across this ring are among the oldest outside the city. Older garages and basements here get the most careful prep before any coating.
