About the area
A railroad town with a lake for a neighbor
Willis sits about eight miles north of Conroe, where the old railroad line meets Interstate 45, and Lake Conroe lies a few miles to the west. That mix of an old downtown and newer lake living means a lot of different garages: older slabs in town, brand-new ones near the water, and plenty of patios and porches where people spend their evenings.
Here is how we handle it. Each slab is ground flat, cracks are filled, and a solid epoxy base carries your flake blend. A polyaspartic clear coat on top fends off oil, sun and hot tires. Outdoors, the textured finish is slip-resistant and rinses clean with a hose.
Your visit begins with a free estimate. We inspect and measure the concrete, walk you through color and finish options, and settle the details with you before a single tool comes out.
Local roots
A town the railroad built
Willis exists because of the railroad. The Houston and Great Northern line, now Union Pacific, was the first rail line in Montgomery County, and residents of nearby Danville and Old Waverly moved to the new town after it arrived.
Today Interstate 45 runs along the western edge of town, and Lake Conroe, whose dam was completed in 1973, sits a few miles to the west. We coat garages, shops and patios for homes off the interstate, near the lake and in newer neighborhoods like Republic Grand Ranch.

Our process
How We Coat a Garage or Patio
Three steps from tired slab to finished floor, plus a little prep on your end.
Prep the Slab
We diamond-grind the concrete so the coating can grip, then repair minor to moderate cracks. Older Willis slabs often need a little extra attention at this stage.
Coat and Broadcast
A 100% solids epoxy base goes down first. Flake is broadcast over the wet coat in the blend you picked at your estimate.
Seal and Hand Over
A polyaspartic top coat guards the finish against UV, we clean up the space, and the job is covered by our 5-year workmanship warranty.
Clear the Floor
Move cars, bikes, shelving and storage out of the garage or off the patio so the slab is open from wall to wall.
Decide on a Blend
Settle on a flake color at your estimate so the right materials are ready when your coating day arrives.
Watch the Weather
Outdoor patio work depends on the sky, so we look at the forecast with you before we set a date.

Color and care
Choose a Look, Then Keep It New
Pick a look that suits the house, the light and the way you use the space. Bring a photo or a color from your home and we will help you narrow it down at your estimate.
Understated and Neutral
Quiet, balanced tones that hide dust and tire dirt and pair with almost any exterior. A popular choice for garages and workshop bays.
Warm and Earthy
Softer, sun-baked tones that sit well beside most home exteriors, which suits a covered patio or back porch.
Light and Airy
A brighter, lake-inspired look for patios and walkways that see a lot of sun.
Sweep and Rinse
Sweep up dust and grit, then rinse the floor with water whenever it needs a refresh.
Use a Gentle Cleaner
A soft mop and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner do the job. Skip harsh solvents and abrasive pads.
Wipe Spills Early
Oil, coolant and drinks wipe up easily from a sealed surface, so a quick pass keeps the floor clean.

Local history
From a donated townsite to a lake-country hub
The railroad built Willis, and a tobacco boom put it on the map.
The townsite
Galveston merchants Peter J. and Richard S. Willis donate a townsite to the Houston and Great Northern Railroad, which is building the first rail line in Montgomery County.
A bid for the county seat
Willis tries to take the county seat from Montgomery. The vote falls short of the required two-thirds majority, and Conroe takes the seat in 1889.
The cigar boom
Local growers begin raising Cuban tobacco, and Willis becomes a tobacco and cigar town with as many as seven cigar factories.
The interstate arrives
Interstate 45 is built through the western edge of Willis, tying the town to Houston and Dallas.
The lake
Lake Conroe, begun a few miles west of town, fills and brings lakefront growth to the area.
Common questions
Questions Homeowners Ask
Lake communities, old slabs and what to expect.
How much does epoxy flooring cost in Willis?
Epoxy flake floors start from $5 per square foot with a $1,250 minimum. Flake garage floors start at $1,250 for a 1-car, $1,750 for a 2-car, from $2,750 for a 3-car and from $3,750 for a 4-car. The final price depends on the size, the condition of the slab and the finish, and the estimate is free.
Do you serve the Lake Conroe communities near Willis?
Yes. We serve Water Crest, Del Lago, Point Aquarius, Cape Malibu, Corinthian Point, French Quarter, Seven Coves, Emerald Lakes and the rest of the Lake Conroe shoreline near Willis.
Can you put epoxy over an old, stained concrete floor?
Yes. We grind off old coatings and stains, repair minor to moderate cracks at no charge and flag structural problems before we start.
How long does epoxy last, and will it peel?
Peeling nearly always comes from poor surface preparation. We grind the slab so the epoxy bonds into the concrete and back our workmanship with a 5-year warranty.
How do I choose a flake color?
Start with the room: lighter blends brighten a dark garage and darker blends hide dirt. We bring samples to your estimate so you can see them on your own slab.
How much does a 2-car garage floor cost?
Flake garage floors start at $1,750 for a 2-car garage. Condition of the slab and finish choice affect the final price, and the estimate is free.
Is a flake floor easy to clean?
Yes. Sweep or blow off loose dirt and mop with mild soap. The polyaspartic top coat keeps oil and tire marks from soaking in.
Which ZIP codes in Willis do you serve?
We serve Willis ZIP codes 77318 and 77378 and the Lake Conroe communities around them.
Do you coat patios and walkways too?
Yes. We coat patios, porches and walkways with a slip-resistant flake finish and a UV-stable top coat that holds up to Texas sun and rain. A free estimate tells you what the slab needs first.
Why is one epoxy quote so much lower than another?
The lowest bid often leaves something out, and the missing piece is almost always prep such as diamond grinding, crack repair or a moisture check. Compare estimates on the same points: square footage, prep method, base coat, top coat, crack repair and timeline. Our cost guide explains what a complete price for an epoxy garage, patio or walkway should cover.
What local conditions mean for your floor
Built for lake country
Six things we plan around here.
Lake Weekends on the Patio
Boats, coolers and damp towels all end up on the patio. A flake finish adds texture, and the sealed surface rinses clean with a hose.
Older slabs in town
Slabs near the old downtown can hold years of stains and old coatings. We grind them off and repair cracks first.
Sun on open garage doors
Afternoon sun reaches into open garages. The polyaspartic top coat resists UV so the floor holds its color.
Summer Evenings
Long, hot days end on the patio. A UV-stable polyaspartic top coat keeps the color true under the Texas sun.
Weekend Gatherings
Garages turn into the party space. A sealed floor wipes clean after spilled drinks and muddy boots.
Cooler Months
When the weather turns, a coated garage floor is far easier to sweep and rinse than bare concrete. Spring storms and Gulf humidity track water in, and a sealed floor wipes dry quickly.
