Epoxy Flooring & Concrete Contractor in Washington, DC

Epoxy flooring in Washington, DC covers restaurant kitchens, retail, studios, offices and the back-of-house spaces nobody photographs but everybody depends on. In the Mix Artistic Decorative Concrete, a veteran-owned shop in business since 2005, also takes on rowhouse basements, alley garages and custom countertops across the District.

DC is the main metro we serve, and it asks different things of a floor than Southern Maryland does. Tight access, shared walls, strict schedules and buildings that have been renovated three times before you bought them. Tim McKenna spent 15 years on substation and power plant work before going decorative, and that industrial background matters on a commercial slab that has to perform.

If you are searching epoxy flooring near me from Capitol Hill, Shaw or Petworth, we are the crew that also does polish, stain, overlays and countertops. Look over our commercial and residential epoxy systems, then call to talk about your space.

Commercial Epoxy Flooring for DC Restaurants and Kitchens

Commercial kitchens take grease, hot water, dropped pans and constant mopping. Commercial epoxy flooring gives them a continuous, sealed surface with no grout lines to hold grime, and the topcoat can be built for slip resistance and chemical exposure.

We plan the sequence around your service schedule so the kitchen is down for as short a stretch as possible. That planning is a big part of commercial epoxy flooring in Washington, DC. See our heavy-duty floor coatings for the systems we use in working kitchens.

Flake Epoxy Flooring for Alley Garages Behind DC Rowhouses

Plenty of rowhouse blocks have a garage off the back alley, and those slabs are often cracked, stained and decades old. Flake epoxy flooring turns that space into something clean enough to use as a workshop, a gym or bike storage.

The chip broadcast hides dust and adds texture underfoot, and the topcoat seals out oil and road salt.

Basement Dig-Outs and English Basement Floors in DC

Digging out a rowhouse basement for a rental unit or more living space leaves you with a brand-new slab and a lot of options. Once that concrete has cured, it can be stained, polished or coated with a decorative resin floor instead of covered with carpet or vinyl plank.

An English basement apartment with a finished concrete floor is easy to clean between tenants and has no flooring to swap out after a leak. Read more about stained and polished basement floors.

Polished Concrete for Washington, DC Retail and Lofts

For a gallery, a shop or a loft conversion with a solid slab, polishing the concrete itself often beats any coating. There is nothing on top to wear through, and it looks right in an industrial space.

We cover this in more depth on our page for polished concrete in Washington, DC.

Metallic Epoxy for DC Salons, Studios and Showrooms

When a floor is part of the brand, metallic epoxy gives you something no other shop on the block will have. The pigments create depth, movement and color that look like liquid metal or polished stone.

It suits salons, boutique fitness studios, showrooms and event spaces where people notice what they are standing on.

Concrete Front Desks and Bar Tops for DC Businesses

A cast concrete reception desk or bar top makes a strong first impression and stands up to daily use. We cast them to fit the space, with custom colors, edges and integral details like drink rails or trough sinks.

See reception counters and commercial pieces on our concrete countertops page.

Getting Equipment Into a Tight Washington, DC Job Site

DC jobs come with alleys, permit parking, freight elevators and neighbors on both sides. Grinders, vacuums and resin all have to get in and out without blocking the block.

We work out access, staging and timing with you or your property manager before the first day, so the job runs on schedule and the neighbors stay friendly. On a lot of epoxy flooring in Washington, DC, that logistics plan matters as much as the coating.

Stained Concrete for Rowhouse Kitchens and Living Rooms

Stained concrete gives a rowhouse kitchen or open first floor a warm, mottled color that looks like aged leather or stone. Every slab takes the stain differently, so the floor has real character.

Planning Epoxy Flooring in Washington, DC With Your GC or Designer

A lot of DC projects run through a general contractor or interior designer, and we are glad to work that way. One crew that grinds, polishes, stains, overlays, coats and casts countertops means one fewer trade to coordinate.

Homeowners who find us by searching concrete contractor near me are just as welcome. Either way, the first step is a site visit and a written estimate at no charge, plus a custom kitchen counter quote if you need one.

Washington, DC Commercial Epoxy Questions

Still have a question? Call 301-904-1359 and talk it through with us.

How is commercial epoxy flooring in Washington, DC priced?

We price after seeing the space. Square footage, slab condition, the system the floor needs and access to the site all affect the number. You get a written estimate at no charge.

Can you work in an occupied commercial building?

Yes. We plan the sequence, access and timing with the owner or property manager ahead of time so the work fits around the business as much as possible.

How soon can a new basement dig-out slab be finished?

New concrete has to cure and dry before it can be coated or stained. The wait depends on the mix, thickness and conditions. We can check the slab and tell you when it is ready.

Is flake epoxy a good choice for an alley garage?

Yes. Flake floors hide dust, add grip and seal out oil and salt. Older garage slabs usually need crack repair and grinding first, and we include that in the estimate.

Do you work with general contractors and designers in DC?

Yes. We are glad to coordinate through a GC or designer, and we also work directly for homeowners and business owners.

What does a commercial kitchen floor need to hold up?

Good prep, a system built for heat, water and grease, and a textured topcoat for slip resistance. Daily cleaning with the right cleaner keeps it in good shape.

Can concrete be used for a reception desk or bar top?

Yes. We cast reception desks, bar tops and trough sinks for businesses, finished and sealed for daily use.

Does In the Mix travel into the District from Southern Maryland?

Yes. Washington, DC is the main metro area we serve, along with the nearby Maryland and Virginia suburbs. Call 301-904-1359 to set up a visit.
