For most Benton garages, we can install a full flake epoxy system in just one to two days—including prep, basecoat, flake broadcast, and topcoat. Floors are typically ready for light foot traffic within 24 hours, and vehicle traffic after 48 to 72 hours, depending on the system and weather conditions.

Larger commercial and industrial jobs take a bit more planning. Timelines depend on the size of the space, the condition of the slab, and whether you need specialty coatings like chemical-resistant finishes or anti-slip textures. During your on-site consultation, we’ll walk you through the process and give you a clear, customized timeline based on your specific project.

It might look slick, but polished concrete isn’t nearly as slippery as most people think. In dry conditions, it often offers more traction than tile or smooth sealed concrete. That said, if you're working with spaces in Benton that regularly deal with water—like restaurant kitchens, warehouse entryways, or outdoor patios—we can adjust the finish to improve grip.

We use penetrating densifiers during polishing, and for added safety, we can include a fine grit additive that increases traction without compromising the look. Every floor we install is tailored to its environment, and if slip resistance is a priority, we’ll guide you toward the best finish to keep your space both safe and sharp.

Absolutely. While we’re proud to serve the Benton area, our team regularly installs epoxy flooring and polished concrete systems all across Central Arkansas. That includes nearby cities like Bryant, Little Rock, Cabot, Conway, Jacksonville, Maumelle, and North Little Rock. If you’re within roughly an hour of Benton, we can usually handle your project without any issue. And for larger commercial or industrial installs, we’re open to traveling even farther. Just give us a call—we’ll let you know if you're in range and provide a clear estimate for your specific location.

Prep is everything—and it’s where most bad floors go wrong.

At Rock City Epoxy, we don’t just skim the surface and hope for the best. Every job in Benton starts with mechanical grinding using professional equipment that removes old coatings, glue, paint, and contaminants while opening up the pores of the concrete for a proper bond.

For epoxy coatings, we also check for moisture issues. If needed, we apply a moisture vapor barrier to keep problems from coming up later.

For polished concrete, we start with aggressive grinding to flatten and refine the surface, then work through multiple passes with finer grits to dial in the level of sheen you want. Bottom line? Good prep = a floor that performs and actually lasts. And we don’t cut corners on either.

Yes—no doubt. The systems we install are built for the extremes we get here in Arkansas. Whether it’s summer humidity, winter freeze-thaw cycles, or the daily temperature swings that hit concrete hard, our epoxy and polyaspartic coatings are made to hold up. Our flake epoxy floors are resistant to hot tire pickup, salt, and moisture, which makes them perfect for garages and driveways in Benton. For outdoor spaces like patios or porches, we use UV-stable topcoats that won’t fade or yellow under direct sun. Inside or out, every system we install is tailored to Arkansas conditions—so you’re not dealing with bubbling, peeling, or early failure. Just a floor that’s built to last, no matter what the weather does.
