About Navasota, TX

Navasota sits in southwestern Grimes County, just east of the Navasota River, and it's an easy drive from our base in College Station. Most people know it for the historic downtown and the Frank Hamer statue in front of City Hall. Our calls here come from houses close to downtown, newer homes at the edge of town and places out in the county with a shop or barn behind the house. Some come from business owners who need a floor that can take real use.

That mix shapes the work. Older slabs usually carry years of paint, glue and patches that have to come off, and shop floors take heavier loads than any garage, so here the prep and the choice of finish matter more than the color chart.

Services in Navasota, TX

  • Garage Floor Coatings

    Older Navasota garages often have stained, patched slabs that hold oil and dust. We grind them clean before laying garage floor coatings that wipe up easily.

  • Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings

    Shops and businesses around Navasota put forklifts, trucks and spilled fluids on their floors every day. We build commercial epoxy systems thick enough for that traffic and easy to clean.

  • Urethane Cement Flooring

    Country lots often have a barn or workshop floor that gets hosed down, scraped and hit with heat. Urethane cement handles that abuse better than thin coatings, so we recommend it there.

  • Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal

    Older Navasota homes often hide old paint, tile glue or failed coatings on the slab. We strip it to bare concrete, since nothing sticks well to a layer that's already letting go.

  • Stained Concrete Flooring

    When carpet comes up in an older house, the slab underneath can become the finished floor. We clean, stain and seal it, so you keep the concrete's character with added color.

  • Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays

    Patios, porches and slabs that have flaked or cracked are common on older lots here. A thin overlay gives them a new top if the concrete underneath is still sound.

Working in Navasota: the offices and the slabs we deal with

Inside Navasota's city limits, permits go through the city's building permits office, which is listed on the city's permit portal. Outside the limits, Grimes County runs its own floodplain permit, which we cover in the questions below. Before work starts, we check with the right office on whether your floor needs a permit, take care of it when it falls to us and tell you what we found before anything gets scheduled, because if a permit is needed it comes before your start date. You can check up on any contractor too, through the state's license search for licensed trades and the city's business license contact for local licensing. We're licensed and insured.

Price here turns more on the slab than on the square footage. Old coatings to strip, cracks to fill, moisture coming up through the concrete and the finish you pick all move the number, and the schedule turns on that same prep plus how long the finish needs to cure. The written estimate I send lists the prep along with the finish, so you can see what each part of the job involves. We're a flooring contractor in College Station, TX, and the same crew that works in Bryan makes the drive down to Navasota, so you get the same careful prep wherever your slab is.

Navasota, TX properties and local conditions

Concrete that's been around a few decades usually has a history, and the older slabs we see in Navasota show it. Paint, sealer, tile glue and old oil stains all sit between a new coating and the concrete. Cracks that have opened and closed for years tend to keep doing it, because concrete has a mind of its own. So we test for moisture, grind down to clean concrete and repair cracks before anything goes on. If a slab can't carry the floor you want, I'll tell you so and suggest something it can carry.

Shop and barn floors on country lots take a different kind of beating. Trucks, tractors, dropped tools and spilled fluids wear through a thin garage coating fast, so for those floors we usually talk about a heavier system built for the work.

Get a written floor estimate for your Navasota property

We reply within one business day by phone or email, and I come out to Navasota myself to look at the floor. The estimate is free and comes with no obligation. Once I've seen the slab and heard how you use the space, I send you a written estimate that lists the prep along with the finish.

How a floor job goes when you call us in Navasota

  1. Call or send the form

    Call (979) 393-7012 or fill in the form, and we'll set a time for me to come see the floor. Tell me about any peeling, cracks or old coating so I know what to look for.

  2. I look at your slab

    I check for moisture, cracks and old coatings and ask how you use the space, so it helps if you're home for the visit. The written estimate follows, with the prep spelled out.

  3. We check on permits first

    Before scheduling, we ask the city's building office whether the job needs a permit, or look into the county floodplain question if you're outside city limits. If a permit is needed, its review comes before your start date, and we tell you where things stand.

  4. Prep, finish and final walkthrough

    Our crew grinds, repairs and coats the floor with a lead installer on site. When it's done, I come back and walk the finished floor with you.

Frequently asked questions

Who handles building permits in Navasota, TX?

Inside city limits, the City of Navasota's building permits office handles them. You can reach it at 936-825-2961 or hwells@navasotatx.gov. Before we schedule a floor, we check with that office on whether the job needs one.

When is a floodplain permit required outside Navasota city limits?

Grimes County requires a floodplain development permit for all development in its unincorporated areas, so the question comes up whenever your property is outside Navasota's city limits. Only the property owner or their legal representative can apply, and the county approves it after any other permits are issued. Whether a new finish on an existing slab counts is a question for the county's floodplain administrator, and we'll work it out with you before anything gets scheduled. You can see where your property sits on FEMA's flood maps.

How do I check a contractor's license in Texas?

Use the state's online license search, which shows whether a person or business holds a current license. It's worth running for an electrician or anyone else in a state-licensed trade who works alongside a floor job. For local business licenses in Navasota, call the city's business license contact at 936-825-2961.

How much does a garage floor coating cost in Navasota?

The price comes down mostly to how much prep your slab needs, then its size and the finish you choose. Old coatings to strip, cracks to repair and moisture problems raise it, while a clean, sound slab and a simpler finish keep it down. You'll see both parts priced in the written estimate.

What causes epoxy to peel off garage floors in Navasota?

Usually it's the prep, because a coating laid over dirty, sealed or damp concrete never bonds properly and hot tires and moisture lift it. That's why we grind the slab open and check for moisture before anything goes down. If your slab isn't a good candidate, I'll tell you.

How long does it take to coat a garage floor in Navasota?

The time on site comes down to how much grinding and repair your slab needs and how long the finish has to cure before you drive on it, which the coating maker sets. If a permit check is needed, that happens before the start date. I'll walk you through the timing once I've seen the floor.
