Resin floors for Smithfield homes.
Smithfield calls usually start the same way: the slab is dusting, there is a stain that will not come up, and somebody is tired of looking at it.
We run out to Smithfield from the shop in Goldsboro, about 30 minutes out. Smithfield is in Johnston County, and we cover the towns around it too, including Selma, Princeton, Pine Level, Four Oaks.
Most garage floors in Smithfield were poured, troweled, and never touched again. That slab has been soaking up whatever landed on it ever since.
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.
The ground under a slab in Smithfield.
Concrete here sits on sand, and the water under that sand moves up and down with the seasons. A slab on ground like that settles and shifts a little, which leaves the fine cracking that is so common. The grind is where we deal with it, opening up those lines and filling them so the coating goes on over solid concrete.
We test for moisture before we quote, every time. Too many local slabs were poured without a vapor barrier under them, and those floors push moisture up constantly. Learning that after the coating is down means a floor that lifts and a second job nobody wanted to pay for. Learning it first just changes which system we use.
Then there is the heat. A resin pour in an uninsulated garage in August behaves differently from the same pour in October, and on a metallic floor that difference shows up in the pattern. Knowing that is most of what five years of pouring in this climate buys you.
What we pour in Smithfield
Recent pours
Which rooms we end up in.
The rooms change but the problem does not. Bare concrete is porous, it stains, it dusts, and sealing it after the fact with something off a shelf almost never holds.
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 Smithfield 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.
We pour most of the year. What moves a date is slab temperature, not the calendar, so a mild January week is often better than a brutal July afternoon.
What moves the price.
Anybody who gives you a firm number without seeing your floor is guessing. The same size room can be cheap or not, depending on what the old coating is hiding, so we come look first.
Surprises in the middle of a job are what people dread, so we do the looking up front. We test the slab and hand you a number that same day, and that number holds after the work starts. A few photos and the square footage are enough for us to tell you if you are in the right range.
How the two days run.
Day one is prep. Grinders and dust extraction come off the trailer and the slab gets taken down to clean concrete, then the cracks and pits that the grind exposes get chased out and filled. It is loud and it is dusty, and it is most of the labor in the job. Day two is the pour and the topcoat, which is the fast half.
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.
Alpha Resin is a small shop on purpose. Fewer floors, poured by the person whose name is on the truck.
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 Smithfield sits well inside that.
Questions from Smithfield customers
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.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, and it is worth reading rather than framing. Ask when we quote and we will tell you plainly what it covers and what it does not.
How far out are you booking?
It moves with the season. Spring and fall fill first. Call and we will tell you honestly where you would land rather than telling you what you want to hear.
