When we talk to homeowners and commercial property owners across Brainerd, whether it's someone dealing with a garage floor that's been peeling since the first winter or a warehouse manager watching a coating fail under forklift traffic, the story is almost always the same: "We had it coated. It didn't hold."
Floor coatings fail for one reason more than any other: poor substrate preparation. I remember walking the shop floor just outside Baxter for a business owner who had brought in a coating crew the previous spring. The epoxy had looked sharp on day one. By the following February, moisture had worked up through the slab, the bond had failed in patches across the entire floor, and the surface was worse than it had been before the coating went down. We went in, ground the surface properly, addressed the moisture issue at the slab level, and applied a system built for that substrate and that environment. The owner called a year later to say the floor had held through a full season of heavy use without a single problem area.
That outcome isn't complicated. It's what happens when the crew doing the coating understands concrete, not just coatings.
Technical Construction Solutions was founded by Freddy Lewis, who grew up in a highway construction family and spent 15 years working in the field before starting TCS. That background in concrete systems, structural foam, and substrate behavior is what separates a floor coating installation that lasts from one that looks good for a season.
If your floor is showing wear, peeling, staining, or moisture damage, or if you want a new coating done right from the start, a free estimate is the first step.
