Resin floors for Micro homes.
Most of the garages we coat around Micro were poured with the house and never touched since.
We run out to Micro from the shop in Goldsboro, about 30 minutes out. Micro is in Johnston County, and we cover the towns around it too, including Smithfield, Selma, Princeton, Pine Level.
Concrete is porous. It drinks oil, it dusts under tires, and once a stain is in there it stays. A resin floor closes the slab off for good.
Beto came to epoxy from land clearing and excavation, and it shows in how much of every job goes into the slab itself. Each floor gets a diamond grind down to open concrete, the cracks get chased and filled, and then the pour and topcoat go on. He owns the grinding equipment so that step never gets cut short.
What eastern North Carolina does to a slab.
Sandy ground and a water table that moves through the seasons are what make humidity the surprise here. Moisture sits close under the slab, and if the concrete has no vapor barrier it travels straight up through it, every day, for the life of the floor. Nothing about that changes when a coating goes on. A coating that lets vapor through survives it. One that traps it gets pushed up in blisters and sheets.
Some slabs should not be coated at all, and we would rather tell you that on day one than take the job. Testing comes before the quote for exactly that reason. Most wet slabs just need the right system, and we price that one. The few that are too far gone, we say so plainly.
Heat speeds resin up. The cure is a chemical reaction, and the warmer the slab and the air, the faster it runs, which cuts into the time we have to work the material. In an uninsulated Micro garage that shows most in the summer months, and most of all on metallic pours. We set the schedule with that in mind.
What we pour in Micro
Recent pours
Which rooms we end up in.
Most of our work is garages, and a lot of it starts with dust. Bare concrete that has begun to powder coats everything stored on it, and people get tired of sweeping up a floor that keeps coming apart. A two-car bay is the job we quote more than any other.
Plenty of people who call about a garage end up asking about the kitchen. Countertops are the other side of the business: resin goes over your current counters, so your Micro kitchen looks brand new while the cabinets and plumbing stay exactly where they are. You can read how we pour countertops before you call.
Timing a pour around the weather.
Spring and fall book up first. Mild weather gives resin the widest working window, so those are the months everybody wants. Summer works fine as long as the pour is scheduled early in the day, and winter works as long as the slab is warm enough.
What moves the price.
Measuring the room is quick. The condition of the concrete is what takes judgment, because that decides how long prep takes, and prep is where most of the labor goes. A sound slab with nothing on it comes in lowest. Cracks to chase and fill, a coating to strip off, or deep oil all add hours.
So we come look at the floor in person. You get a firm number on the day of the visit, and it does not creep up once the grinders are running. If you would rather check the range first, photos of the slab are enough for a rough yes or no.
How the two days run.
You usually do not know what the slab is hiding until the grinder opens it up. That is the first day: grind the floor down to clean concrete with the extractor pulling dust at the tool, then chase out and fill every crack and pit the grind exposes. It is the loud, slow half of the job. The pour and topcoat come the next day and go fast.
The one thing we will push back on is driving onto the floor too soon. It can take foot traffic the morning after, but a vehicle needs day three or four, depending on the warmth, or it leaves marks in a finish that is still curing. On the first morning we also need the room cleared, because the whole slab gets ground.
Who actually pours it.
Beto Ponce does the pours himself. The person who quotes your floor is the person standing on it with a squeegee.
Insured and bonded, 5 years of pours, and a phone the owner answers. See the gallery, read about the rest of Johnston County, or send photos of the slab.
If you are on the edge of town or just outside it, call and ask rather than assuming. Town lines and county lines rarely match how far a trailer actually has to drive, and the answer is usually yes. Alpha Resin covers 10 counties out of Goldsboro, and Micro sits well inside that.
Questions from Micro customers
Do you move what is in the room?
No, and it is the one thing we ask of you. The space has to be completely empty the morning we start because we grind the whole slab rather than working around things. Doing it the weekend before is easier than doing it that morning.
What happens if it rains that week?
Interior work carries on. Outdoor work moves, because resin curing under rain or heavy dew is ruined resin. We would rather shift a date than pour into a forecast we do not like.
Can you match a color I have seen?
Close, and usually closer than people expect. Bring a photo. Metallic pigment moves on its own while it cures, so the floor reads as that look rather than copying it exactly.
How much dust does the grinding make?
Less than people picture. The grinder runs into a dust extractor at the tool, so it is captured where it is made. It is not zero, and we sheet off doorways, but it does not fill the house.
Do you take on small jobs?
Yes. A single-bay garage, a laundry room, a set of counters. Small work is a good share of the schedule and it is how most people try us before a bigger job.
