Epoxy Flooring in Tolleson, AZ

Tolleson is a small city with a large industrial base, so most of the epoxy flooring we discuss here is for businesses. The city has just over 7,000 residents but employs more than 20,000 people, and it hosts more than twenty Fortune 500 companies. It sits just south of Interstate 10, with the Union Pacific Railroad and State Route 85 running through town. That mix of freeway and rail access has made it a hub for food and distribution companies.

Food, freight and floors

The city's 2021 top employers include JBS Packerland, Taylor Farms, Albertsons, SK Food Group, PepsiCo and Sysco Arizona. In the 1950s Tolleson was known as the "Vegetable Center of the World," and food is still a big part of the local economy. Fry's Food and Drug and Albertsons opened distribution centers in the 1980s, which brought more industrial buildings.

Floors in these buildings take a beating. Forklifts, pallet jacks and carts wear down bare concrete, and dust from worn concrete can get onto products and equipment. Spills and wash-downs are common. A coated floor resists stains, cleans faster and is easier to see on.

What we coat for Tolleson businesses

• Warehouse aisles and staging areas with heavy 100% solids epoxy
• Loading dock approaches that need durable, textured finishes
• Shop and maintenance bays where oil and hydraulic fluid spill
• Break rooms, offices and restrooms that need an easy-clean floor
• Safety striping for walkways, forklift lanes and storage zones

Some processing areas have strict rules from inspectors or company standards on floor materials, along with hot water and chemical wash-downs. We tell you which of our systems fit your space and when another type of floor would be a better choice. We would rather point you to the right material than put down a coating that fails.

Scheduling around production

Plants and distribution centers rarely shut down. We can phase a job by zone, work nights or weekends, and use fast-curing polyaspartic where downtime has to be short. Before we start, we walk the site with your manager, check for moisture, oil and old coatings, and agree on a schedule in writing.

Homes in the original townsite

Tolleson started when Walter G. and Alethea Tolleson bought a 160-acre ranch at 91st Avenue and Van Buren Street in 1910. They subdivided it in 1912 and sold eighty lots at $50 each. The city was incorporated in 1929. Today it has about 2,294 housing units, and some homes in the older parts of town have garages and carports with worn, patched concrete.

For homeowners, we offer the same garage floor coating, flake, metallic and patio systems we install across the West Valley. Older slabs get extra prep, including crack repair and removal of old paint.

How a commercial estimate works

We walk the floor with you and note traffic patterns, chemicals in use, wash-down routines and any areas where water collects. We check for moisture, oil and old coatings, and we measure each zone. Then we give you a written proposal that lists the system for each area, the thickness, the prep and the total. If you need striping or a specific color for zones, we include it. Any change once work starts is written up for your approval before we add it.

Problems we see on industrial slabs

• Joints chipped by forklift wheels, which we fill and level before coating
• Old paint stripes and coatings that have worn through in traffic lanes
• Oil and hydraulic fluid soaked into the concrete near equipment
• Dusting concrete that sheds a fine powder onto pallets and shelving

Each of these gets handled during prep. Skipping that step is why many warehouse coatings wear out early.
