Industrial-grade floors for a refinery city.
Texas City slabs see aggressive chemical exposure, heavy equipment, thermal shock, and around-the-clock operations. A residential-grade coating is done in a month. We spec thicker commercial systems, chemical-rated topcoats, and scheduled night-shift installs for refineries, auto shops, marine contractors, and fabrication buildings.
Systems that survive refinery conditions.
Texas City is an industrial coast. Refineries, auto shops, marine contractors, fabrication shops, and the Tanger Outlets commercial strip. Every coating we spec for a Texas City site gets chemical-rated, rated for the actual traffic, and scheduled around production cycles.
Chemical-Rated Flake Epoxy
The Texas City workhorse. Thicker build, chemical-rated polyaspartic topcoat, slip-rated for wet conditions, and broadcast flake for abrasion resistance. We install this across auto shops, fabrication facilities, chemical storage, and the back-of-house spaces at the Mainland Loop commercial zone.
Spec varies by chemistry exposure: caustic, hydrocarbon, solvent. We review your MSDS list and match the topcoat. Flake system details.

Fabrication shops, metal-working facilities, warehouses along the BP and Marathon refinery zones. Polished concrete turns the slab into the finish floor: diamond-grind, densify, burnish. No coating to peel under thermal shock. Life-of-the-building durability when the slab is prepared right.
Runs about $5 per square foot starting. Scales well across large square footage. Polished concrete details.

Containment areas, chemical storage slabs, and secondary spill zones. We spec epoxy novolac and specialty resin systems rated for continuous immersion or heavy intermittent chemical exposure. Not a residential install and not a residential price, but the right product for the actual environment.
Scope a Containment JobAuto Shop & Marine Contractor Floors
Texas City has a concentration of auto shops and marine contracting facilities along Texas Avenue and the port side. These sites want a chemical-rated flake floor that handles oil, solvent, hydraulic fluid, and tire marks. We install with a commercial-grade polyaspartic topcoat that wipes clean with degreaser.

The Tanger Outlets commercial strip along I-45 and the Mainland Loop retail corridor. Night-shift polyaspartic systems close a store at 10 PM, prep-coat-cure overnight, open at lunch the next day. We’ve run this for restaurant, retail, and back-of-house commercial across South Houston.
Commercial epoxy detailsResidential Flake & Solid Color
Texas City also has residential neighborhoods off Texas Avenue and near the Mainland Loop. Flake garages and solid color epoxy are common: the systems are the same as our bay-country installs but the drive is shorter from our Friendswood shop. Starts around $6 per square foot.
Get a Residential QuoteThe commercial spec matches the actual site conditions.
A refinery-adjacent slab is not a residential garage. Chemical exposure, thermal shock from hot work, forklift and pallet-jack traffic, and round-the-clock production schedules all change what the right coating system looks like. Most regional contractors quote the same residential flake package for an industrial site and the system fails within a year.
We match the coating to the actual environment: chemical-rated topcoat where the MSDS calls for it, thicker build-ups where traffic calls for it, night-shift install windows where production calls for it. Justin coordinates with general contractors and site safety officers directly. No “we’ll figure it out on site” promises that leave you holding the bag.
Floors built for the work that happens here.
We run a commercial kitchen in Texas City. Elite did our floor overnight, chemical-rated, slip-rated, back open the next morning. They didn’t miss a prep step even on a tight window. That’s the hardest part of commercial work and they nailed it.

Questions from operators and facility managers.
Do you handle chemical-rated industrial installs, not just residential?
Yes. Chemical-rated flake, novolac epoxy, specialty resin systems for containment areas, and polished concrete for fabrication and warehouse space. We review your chemistry exposure (caustic, hydrocarbon, solvent, thermal) and match the topcoat and build thickness accordingly. A residential-grade system will fail in this environment and we won’t quote one for an industrial site.
Can you run night shifts and coordinate with our GC?
Yes. Most Texas City commercial and industrial installs run on a night-shift or weekend schedule with fast-cure polyaspartic systems. Justin coordinates directly with the general contractor, site safety officer, and operations team so the install fits the production window. We’ve done this at refinery-adjacent sites and auto/marine facilities across the Mainland Loop.
What’s the turnaround time for a Texas City commercial install?
Depends on square footage and the system. A 2,000 square foot flake shop floor usually ships overnight on a weekend. A 15,000 square foot polished concrete warehouse runs three to five days depending on diamond grind schedule. Full-cure to heavy forklift traffic is 72 hours on most polyaspartic systems, less on polished concrete.
Do you do residential garages in Texas City too?
Yes. Texas City neighborhoods off Texas Avenue and near the Mainland Loop get residential flake and solid color installs. Residential pricing starts around $6 per square foot. Same prep standards, same crew, same workmanship warranty as commercial.
How do you handle aggressive chemistry exposure?
We scope chemistry on every commercial Texas City walk-through: which chemicals will hit the floor, at what concentration, at what frequency, and whether exposure is intermittent (spill) or continuous (containment). Those answers drive the resin choice: standard polyaspartic for abrasion-first, epoxy novolac for strong-base or strong-acid sites, specialty urethane cement for thermal shock and sanitation zones.
What about thermal shock from hot-work operations?
Urethane cement is the usual answer for thermal shock environments. It’s thicker, rougher, and handles rapid temperature swings that crack a thinner epoxy system. We’ll spec it where the facility conditions call for it. If your thermal environment is mild, a thicker commercial flake package is often enough.
Can you also handle the Tanger Outlets and retail strip?
Yes. Tanger Outlets, the Mainland Loop retail strip, and restaurant back-of-house work fit our commercial night-shift install pattern. Close at 10 PM, prep-coat-cure overnight, open at lunch. Chemical-rated or slip-rated topcoat depending on whether it’s kitchen or retail.
Can I see examples of industrial installs?
Yes. Our gallery has commercial and industrial installs from across the Texas City and South Houston commercial market. On a site walk-through we can bring additional reference photos that match your facility size and chemistry profile. The commercial epoxy page has additional system details.
