What is urethane cement flooring, and is it right for my kitchen or shop?
Urethane cement flooring is a heavy-duty, seamless floor laid over your concrete, and in West Odessa we put it down in kitchens and working spaces that take hot water, spills, dropped pans and carts. It holds up to thermal shock, the sudden swing from hot to cold that can crack lighter coatings, along with impact, scraping traffic and chemicals.
Usually the floor you have now has stopped keeping up, with coating lifting near the fryers, grout holding grease or bare concrete soaking up every spill. We're based in West Odessa and work across Ector County and the cities around it. The price moves with the size of the room, how much old coating, sealer or oil has to come off the slab, and whether you need a self-leveling pour or a heavier hand-troweled build, while the schedule turns on the temperature in the room and how soon you need it back. I'll look at the slab and write an estimate that spells out the prep, each coat and anything that isn't included.
How do you know your kitchen or shop floor needs replacing?
Coating lifting near hot equipment
When a coating peels or flakes around ovens, fryers and dish stations, it's usually because hot water and daily cleaning heat and cool it faster than it can handle. Once it lifts, water gets under the edges and the bare spots spread every week you wait.
Grout lines that stay dirty
Tile grout soaks up grease and water, and a cracked tile gives spills a path down to the slab. Waiting usually means more broken tile and a bigger cleanup when the floor finally comes up.
Worn paths and gouges
Carts, dropped pans and steel racks wear the surface down along the routes everyone walks. Bare concrete in those paths drinks in spills, and every stain that sets in is one more thing we have to grind out later.
How we install urethane cement flooring
I start by asking how the room gets used, how hot it runs and how soon you need it back, because we plan the install around the temperature in the room and the day you have to reopen. Our crew grinds the slab down to clean, sound concrete and takes out old coatings, sealer and oil, since this floor won't hold onto any of them. Then we mix and lay the floor, finish it at the walls, drains and doorways, and clean up so the room is ready for you once it sets.
Not every room in the building needs this much floor. A dining room, office or hallway that never sees a hose or a hot pan can often get by with polished concrete flooring or stained concrete flooring, and I'll tell you on the walkthrough which rooms need what.
Self-leveling pour
This suits a room that has to reopen fast and a slab that's fairly flat, because the material flows out to a smooth, even surface with less hand work. It's the usual pick for kitchens and prep areas that can only close for a short stretch.
Trowel-applied build
This suits floors that take the hardest abuse or need some grip underfoot, because the crew spreads it by hand into a thicker layer. It takes more material and labor and keeps the room closed longer, so I only recommend it where the room needs it.

What happens after you call us about urethane cement?
From the first call to the final walkthrough, you deal with me and our own crew, and you'll see the prep and every coat on paper before we start.
Call or send a message
Call (432) 280-0038 or use the form, and we get back to you to set a time for me to come out. Tell us when the room can close so we can plan around it.
I look at your slab
I check the concrete for old coatings, sealer, oil and damage, and ask how you use the space and how warm it runs. The estimate spells out the prep, each coat and anything that isn't included, so there's no guessing about what you're paying for.
Our crew lays the floor
Our own crew grinds the slab clean and lays the floor on the days and hours we picked to keep the room inside the maker's temperature range. The room stays closed while the floor sets.
We walk the finished floor
I walk the finished floor with you before we pack up, looking at the edges, drains and doorways together. I'll tell you when it's ready for feet, carts and full use.
Why West Odessa kitchens and shops call us for urethane cement
I write every estimate myself
I drive out to look at the slab, whether it's in West Odessa or elsewhere in Ector County, and our own crew does the work. That way the person who planned the prep is the one checking it got done.
Prep first, for 13 years
I started this business in 2013 after years of tearing out floors that failed because nobody ground or checked the concrete first. If a cheap fix won't hold on your slab, I'll tell you instead of selling it to you.
Licensed and fully insured
We're licensed and fully insured. That matters when our crew is grinding and mixing inside your kitchen or shop, right next to equipment you depend on.
Every floor we lay is backed by our satisfaction guarantee, and it starts with a look at your slab, so tell us about your room and the dates it can close.
Urethane cement and concrete floors in West Odessa
Permits for development here come from Ector County's Development Services Department, and its list names development structure, drive approach, septic, right-of-way and cell tower permits, not flooring, so that list doesn't settle whether your job needs one. If a permit question comes up, we help you figure out which office covers your address and help with the paperwork when one is needed.
Weather sets the schedule more than anything else out here. Summer afternoons around Midland-Odessa are frequently above 90 degrees with very low humidity, hotter than makers allow for mixing and laying this floor, so in summer we work the cooler hours. Winter cuts the other way, since the first freeze usually comes about mid-November and the last one early in April, and in an unheated room we pick days when the space stays warm enough. We see the same swings on jobs in Odessa and Midland and plan those installs the same way.
Questions about urethane cement flooring in West Odessa
How long does a urethane cement floor take to cure before we can use it?
At 72°F and 50% humidity, one maker's floor takes light foot traffic after 12 hours, light wheel traffic after 24 hours and reaches full cure, or full hardness, in 7 days. One flooring contractor puts a self-leveling floor back in service in about 24 hours and a trowel-applied one in 48 to 72 hours. Either way, plan on keeping carts off for at least the first day.
Can urethane cement flooring go down during a West Odessa summer?
Yes, as long as the room stays inside the maker's range while we mix and lay it. One maker says its floor goes down only between 40°F and 85°F, and another maker's guide says to mix the product out of direct sunlight at 85°F or below. That's why we set summer install times around the afternoon heat.
Will urethane cement flooring change color in sunlight?
It can, because one maker says its urethane cement isn't UV stable and will discolor unless it's top coated with a UV-stable coating. If sunlight reaches your floor through a door or window, I'll put that topcoat in the estimate to help keep the color even.
How much does urethane cement flooring cost in West Odessa?
Your price is set mostly by how much floor there is and how much prep the slab needs before anything goes on it. Old sealer, coatings and soaked-in grease you can't see from the doorway add grinding time, which is why I won't price a floor until I've looked at the concrete. The estimate breaks out the prep and each coat so you can see where the money goes.
Is urethane cement a good floor for a commercial kitchen?
Yes, kitchens are one of the main places it goes, and one maker lists commercial kitchens, food and beverage plants and breweries among its uses. It suits rooms where hot water, cleaning chemicals and carts would wear out a lighter coating.
How do I find a qualified installer for urethane cement flooring?
Look for a crew that has put these floors down before, because Sika says one of its products may only be used by experienced professionals. Ask how they'll remove old sealer and oil, since one maker says its floor goes only on clean, dry, sound concrete free of coatings, sealers, curing compounds, oils and greases.
Other concrete floors for the rest of your building
Polished Concrete Flooring
If a room sees foot traffic more than hot water and chemicals, a polished slab gives you a hard, glossy floor without adding a coating on top.
Stained Concrete Flooring
For offices, showrooms or front-of-house areas next to a working kitchen, stain colors the concrete itself and gives those rooms a finished look without a heavy system.
