Why Choose Paveman Coatings?
Picture this: your concrete floors cracking, staining, or just looking dull. Paveman Coatings, based right in Rochester, MN, fixes that with top-notch epoxy, polyurea, and flake systems. They’re not just pretty—they’re durable, easy to clean, and resist chemicals, slips, and heavy traffic. For residential homes, it’s about adding warmth and style. Small businesses and companies love them for warehouses or retail spaces. Hospitals? These coatings meet health standards with seamless, bacteria-resistant surfaces.
We’ve pulled this guide from real insights on what works best. No fluff—just practical advice to help you buy smart.
Residential Options: Make Your Home Shine
Living in a Rochester home? Start with your garage, basement, or kitchen. Poly flake coatings sprinkle colorful chips for a custom look that’s fun and forgiving—hides dirt like a champ. Go marble for that upscale vibe in bathrooms or entryways. Budget around $3-5 per sq ft for basics, up to $8 for fancier stuff.
Basements are a big win. Add a topical vapor barrier to stop moisture and mold. Turn that damp dungeon into a cozy hangout. Check out our basement floors gallery for ideas—families love the bright, safe spaces.
Pro tip: For driveways or patios, polyurea seals cracks fast and handles Minnesota winters. It’s flexible, won’t chip like old paint.
Commercial Picks: Built for Business
Running a small business, store, or hospital? Commercial floors take a beating. Paveman’s metallic epoxy gives a sleek, 3D shimmer perfect for lobbies or showrooms. Hospitals dig the anti-microbial polyurea—smooth, no grout lines for easy mopping and germ control.
Warehouses? Heavy-duty flake or quartz systems grip tires and tools. Small companies save big on maintenance—no more slip-and-fall worries. Pricing? $4-7 per sq ft, depending on traffic. View our project pricing to crunch numbers.
One client story: A local shop went from grimy gray to vibrant flakes. Customers noticed, foot traffic up 20%. That’s the power.
Artistic Finishes: Stand Out with Style
Want floors that wow? Artistic options like stained concrete or custom metallics turn heads. Think swirling colors for gyms, cafes, or home bars. Residential folks use them for man caves; businesses for branded entrances.
Paveman mixes pigments on-site for one-of-a-kind designs. Durable too—UV resistant, no fading. Cost: $6-10 per sq ft. Pair with decorative overlays for cracked slabs.
