Resin floors for Pink Hill homes.
Most of the garages we coat around Pink Hill were poured with the house and never touched since.
We run out to Pink Hill from the shop in Goldsboro, about 30 minutes out. Pink Hill is in Lenoir County, and we cover the towns around it too, including Kinston, La Grange.
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.
Metallic, flake and quartz look nothing alike, but underneath they start the same way. The slab gets diamond ground to clean, open concrete, the cracks that turn up get chased and filled, and only then does the color go down with a topcoat over it. What you pick changes the look. The grind is what keeps it bonded for years.
The ground under a slab in Pink Hill.
This is coastal plain country. Sandy soil, a water table that rises and falls through the year, and eight months of genuine humidity. Slabs poured on that ground move a little, and the fine cracking that comes with it is normal rather than alarming. What matters is catching it during the grind instead of coating over it.
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 Pink Hill
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.
A kitchen in Pink Hill can get a whole new look without anybody pulling out a counter. The resin pours right over the tops that are already there, so the cabinets stay put and there is no waiting on a slab to be templated and cut. Countertops are a big part of what we do. Here is how a countertop pour goes.
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.
We would be guessing if we priced it over the phone. Two floors with the same square footage can land far apart once you see what is under the old coating.
Photos are a good place to start. Send a couple along with the rough size, and we can tell you whether your project lands in the range you have in mind before anybody makes a trip. After that we come out, walk the slab, and give you a number that same day. It stays put once we begin.
How the two days run.
If you split the job by hours, day one gets most of them. That is the grinding: diamond tooling and dust extraction take the slab down to clean concrete, and whatever cracks and pits show up underneath get chased out and filled the same day. Day two is quick by comparison. The resin goes down, then the topcoat goes over it.
Plan on the car living in the driveway for a few days. Walking on the floor is fine the morning after the pour, but vehicles wait until day three or four, and warmer weather is what gets you the earlier end of that. Before we start, the room needs to be cleared out completely, since the grinder goes over the entire slab.
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 Lenoir County, or send photos of the slab.
Short answer for anyone near Pink Hill: yes, we come out. It sits well inside the 10 counties Alpha Resin covers from Goldsboro. The longer answer is for folks on a rural road or just past the town limits. Call and ask anyway, because what matters is drive time from Goldsboro, and that rarely follows the lines on a map.
Questions from Pink Hill customers
Do I have to coat it after grinding?
No, the coating is optional. We grind slabs that never get coated, then seal them and call it done. Shop floors are a common example, along with any concrete the owner likes as it is.
Will grinding get rid of the oil stains?
It removes the stained surface layer, which handles most of it. Oil that has soaked deep into the slab can ghost back, so heavy contamination gets a degreasing pass first and sometimes a primer.
How much dust does it make?
Less than you would think. Each grinder is hooked to a dust extractor, so the dust gets pulled in right where the tool makes it. Some still gets out, but the house does not fill up with it.
How long does a garage floor take?
Two days on site for a standard two-car garage, with the first one spent grinding and the second coating. Count on walking in the next morning and parking again in three to four days once it cures.
Do I have to empty the garage?
Yes, completely. We need the whole slab open to grind it. Plan on the garage being empty the morning we start and staying empty until the floor takes weight.
