Metallic Epoxy Floors in Clackamas, OR

Nobody in Clackamas is putting a metallic floor across a whole 1,500-square-foot shop out toward Carver. What they do is finish one bay: the one with the restored truck, the one with the bar and the TV, the one the neighbors see when the door is up. That bay gets the pigment pour. The rest of the shop gets flake at a lower rate, and we do both in the same trip.

Closer in, the 1970s-to-2000s subdivisions around Sunnyside and Sunnybrook have two-car slabs with 30 years of tire wear and control-joint cracks, which is normal prep for a clear coat. Mount Scott garages are cut into the hillside and slope, which is not normal prep. A wet metallic runs downhill, so a sloped garage is a floor we design around the fall.

Hills That Catch Rain, a River Bottom That Stays Damp, and Ordinary Flats

The hills toward Damascus catch more rain than the Town Center flats, and the Clackamas River bottom stays damp all winter. Moisture reaching the underside of a slab is the one thing a clear metallic cannot hide, because vapor leaves a milky cloud in the pigment that stays. So every Clackamas floor gets a probe, and the ones near the river or on shaded hill lots usually get a mitigating primer first.

The coating is metallic pigment in a clear, 100% solids epoxy base, worked by hand into a one-off pattern, then a polyaspartic topcoat that resists oil and hot tires and brings the total to 40 to 60 mils. Plan on about a week of cure before parking. It is priced above flake because a sloped Mount Scott floor or a broom-finished shop bay needs grinding, leveling, and priming until a clear finish will look intentional, and the pour on top of that is two or three days of hand work.

Sunnyside Slabs, Mount Scott Slopes, and Shop Bays Toward Carver

Sunnyside and Sunnybrook garages are the easiest metallic candidates in the area: sound 30-year-old slabs where the work is grinding out tire marks, filling joints flush, and checking flatness. Mount Scott garages fall with the hill, so the pattern is shaped along the slope and the low edge is kept thin. Out toward Carver and Damascus the shops are big broom-finished floors built for trucks and tractors; a finished bay there gets ground smooth and skimmed before the pour, and the drain fall is preserved. Near Clackamas Town Center the slabs are ordinary flats. About 30 minutes south on I-205, so three site days are easy to schedule, consecutive or not.

Clackamas Metallic Pricing, Garage or Shop Bay

A Sunnyside two-car garage, around 450 square feet, prices out between $4,050 and $7,200 using our $9 to $16 range. A sloped Mount Scott garage of the same size sits higher in that band for the slope work. One 500-square-foot finished bay in a Carver shop comes to $4,500 up to $8,000, with flake on the remaining floor priced separately. We measure and meter before quoting a firm number.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do metallic in one bay of my Damascus shop and flake in the rest?

Yes, and that is how most shop owners use this finish. We break the floor at a control joint or saw cut, pour the metallic in the finished bay, and flake the working area. Both go in on the same trip so prep and travel are shared. The line between them is clean.

My Mount Scott garage slopes toward the door. What does that do to the pattern?

It gives it a direction. Pigment runs downhill while wet, so the pattern gets shaped along the fall rather than against it and keep the material thin at the low edge. It takes more hands than a flat pour and we price it that way. Most owners like the result better than a flat floor.

Our house is near the Clackamas River. Is the slab too damp for a clear coat?

The probe decides. River-bottom slabs read high more often than not, and a clear metallic over vapor develops a permanent haze. A high number means a mitigating primer under the pour to block it. If water is actually entering the garage, that is fixed first.

A Sunnyside slab with 30 years of tire marks: does that all grind out?

Yes. Tire rubber and oil sit in the top skin of the concrete, and diamond grinding removes that skin. Under a clear coating, a leftover tire shadow would show as a dark lane, so we grind until the floor is uniform and check it under a work light. Joint cracks are filled flush at the same time.

How long does a Clackamas metallic take from start to parking?

The crew needs two or three days on site, followed by roughly a week of cure. Being about 30 minutes out, we can split the days around weather if needed. Foot traffic after a day or two, vehicles at about a week, and heavy equipment in a shop bay waits the same full week.
