Resin floors for Falkland homes.
We get to Falkland often enough that the trailer knows the way.
We run out to Falkland from the shop in Goldsboro, about 45 minutes out. Falkland is in Pitt County, and we cover the towns around it too, including Greenville, Winterville, Ayden, Farmville.
A floor is the one surface in the house that gets walked on, parked on, dropped on, and then judged anyway.
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 Falkland.
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.
Heat is the third thing working on a floor out here. Resin in a hot August garage with no insulation moves on a different clock than it does in October, and on a metallic pour you can see that in how the pattern lays down. After five years in this climate, we plan for it.
What we pour in Falkland
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.
Countertops are the other side of the business. The resin pours over the counters that are already there, so a kitchen in Falkland changes completely without a tear-out, without new cabinets, and without a week of plywood while a slab gets templated. See how countertop pours work.
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.
The honest answer on price is that we cannot give one over the phone and mean it. Two rooms the same size can be a long way apart once you know what is under the old coating.
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.
Expect noise on the first day. We unload the grinders and the dust extraction, take the whole slab down to bare concrete, then go back over the cracks and pits the grind opened up and fill them. That prep is the heavy, dusty part and it eats most of the hours. The coating goes down on the second day, base pour and then the topcoat.
Everything has to come off the floor before we get there, shelving and all. The grinder covers the whole slab edge to edge, so an empty room on the first morning is the one thing we ask for. After the topcoat you can walk on it the next day. Driving on it waits until day three or four.
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 Pitt 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 Falkland sits well inside that.
Questions from Falkland customers
Can you coat a floor that already has something on it?
Usually. Old paint, failed sealer, and most previous coatings come off in the grind. If there is a moisture problem underneath we will tell you before we quote it, not after.
Is it slippery when wet?
Only if it is left smooth. Grit broadcast into the topcoat gives it traction, and we use it on garage floors, patios and pool decks where water is a given. A smooth topcoat is about as slick as polished concrete when wet.
How much does a floor cost?
That comes down to your floor. Square footage is part of it, the slab’s condition is a bigger part, and metallic, flake or quartz each prices differently. We quote in person. The number is (919) 440-1333.
Do you work in cold weather?
Most winter days, yes. It comes down to the temperature of the slab itself, because a cold slab slows the reaction that cures the resin. When it is too cold for a good finish, we push the date back rather than risk the floor.
How long will it last?
A properly prepped residential floor is a ten to fifteen year surface. The ones that fail early almost always failed at prep, not at the resin.
