About Our Commercial & Warehouse Epoxy
Commercial epoxy is a different system than residential. Where a homeowner needs a floor that handles a couple of cars, some hot tires, and the occasional oil drip, a commercial space in Rapid City has to handle forklift point loads, dropped tools, hydraulic fluid spills, repeated wash-downs with degreasers, and OSHA-compliant safety striping. Our commercial system is built for that environment.
We install in warehouses, auto service bays, dealership showrooms, restaurants, breweries, light manufacturing shops, and aircraft hangars across the Rapid City metro and the I-90 corridor up to Sturgis. Recent jobs include shop floors in Rapid Valley, dealership service bays in downtown Rapid City, and contractor work at Ellsworth AFB facilities.
The system starts with shot-blasting or diamond grinding the slab to a CSP-4 or CSP-5 profile (more aggressive than residential because the bond has to hold against more force). We then install a moisture-mitigating primer if the slab is below grade or shows hydrostatic pressure, followed by 100% solids epoxy at 30 to 60 mils thick depending on traffic load. Quartz, broadcast color flake, or solid color is added based on the use case. OSHA safety striping (yellow, red, green) and walkway delineation can be integrated. Top is a high-build polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat with chemical-resistant chemistry rated for solvents, acids, and bases.
Pricing for commercial work in Rapid City ranges from $4.25 to $9.50 per square foot depending on system thickness, traffic load, prep complexity, and safety striping. A typical 3,000 sq ft warehouse floor runs $12,000 to $18,000. We work nights and weekends to avoid disrupting operations. Free on-site assessment and flat written quote within 48 hours.

Commercial & Warehouse Epoxy Questions
What does commercial epoxy cost per square foot in Rapid City?
Commercial systems run $4.25 to $9.50 per square foot in Rapid City depending on system thickness, slab prep complexity, OSHA striping, and chemical exposure requirements. A standard 3,000 sq ft warehouse is typically $12,000 to $18,000. We provide flat written quotes within 48 hours of an on-site assessment.
Can you work nights and weekends to avoid disrupting operations?
Yes. The majority of our commercial work is scheduled outside operating hours. We can grind, repair, coat, and topcoat in sequential overnight shifts so a typical 3,000 sq ft floor can be done in 3 nights with zero downtime to the business.
Is the system forklift-rated?
Yes. Our 60-mil commercial system is rated up to 5,000 PSI compressive strength, which handles standard forklift wheel point loads with margin. For very heavy fork loads or high-frequency forklift traffic we step up to a urethane cement system at additional cost.
Do you do Ellsworth AFB and government contractor work?
Yes. We are insured for on-base work and have completed multiple contractor projects at Ellsworth. We can work within base access protocols and meet government specification requirements.
What about OSHA safety striping?
Integrated into the floor itself, not painted on top. We embed safety yellow, red, and green into the resin during install, which means the striping lasts as long as the floor instead of wearing off in 6 months like surface paint.
Will the floor handle hydraulic fluid and degreasers?
Yes. The polyaspartic or polyurethane chemical-resistant topcoat handles hydraulic fluid, motor oil, antifreeze, brake fluid, most degreasers, mild acids, and bases. For aggressive solvents like MEK or acetone we specify an alternative topcoat at quote time.
OSHA-compliant commercial epoxy combines anti-slip aggregate, embedded safety striping, chemical-resistant topcoats, and forklift-rated thickness. Here is what to specify.
