An area-by-area guide to epoxy and garage floor coatings in central Austin zip codes 78701, 78702, 78703, 78704 and 78705: typical floors, common concerns and how to prepare. Open 24 hours, 7 days.

Central Austin packs a wide range of buildings into a handful of zip codes: downtown condos and storefronts, older bungalows with detached garages, newer infill homes, restaurants, studios and student housing. Each kind of building brings its own flooring questions. This guide goes through zip codes 78701, 78702, 78703, 78704 and 78705, covering the floors we typically see, common concerns, and how to get an accurate quote. It's written by Austin Epoxy Flooring Pro, based at 2025 Guadalupe Street in 78705, with a 5.0 rating on Google. We're open 24 hours, 7 days a week, with same-day response, at (512) 325-5434.

The descriptions below are general. Every building is different, and a site visit is the only way to know what your floor needs.

Pricing Across Central Austin

Our published ranges apply across all of these zip codes:

Project	Typical range
1-car garage	$800–$1,200
2-car garage	$1,400–$2,200
3-car garage	$2,000–$3,200
Polyaspartic systems	$3–$7 per sq ft
Metallic epoxy	$6–$12 per sq ft
Commercial floors	$2–$5 per sq ft

Where your project falls depends on size, the condition of the concrete, preparation, the system and any add-ons. Access matters too in dense areas, as we explain below.

78701: Downtown

78701 covers Downtown Austin, from the Capitol area down toward Lady Bird Lake. Most of the buildings are commercial, mixed-use or high-rise residential, so detached garages are rare here.

Typical projects

Retail and showroom floors, where appearance matters and downtime is costly.
Restaurant and bar floors, including kitchens, prep areas and back-of-house spaces.
Office and studio spaces with exposed concrete.
Private storage or parking areas in condo buildings, where building rules allow.

What to plan for

Access and parking. Loading zones, freight elevators and building hours affect scheduling. Tell us about loading docks and elevator reservations when you first contact us.
Building management. Many downtown buildings require proof of insurance and an approved work window before any contractor arrives. Start that conversation early.
Odor and ventilation. In shared buildings, ventilation affects which products are suitable and when work can happen.
After-hours work. Because we're open 24 hours, 7 days a week, overnight or weekend schedules can often be discussed for businesses that can't close during the day.

78702: East Austin

78702 covers much of East Austin just east of I-35. It mixes older single-family homes, newer infill houses and townhomes, small businesses, studios, breweries and restaurants.

Typical projects

Garages and carports on older and newer homes alike.
Studios and workshops, where durability and easy cleaning matter.
Restaurant, brewery and retail floors, often with drains and wet areas.
Polished-look interior floors in modern infill homes.

What to plan for

Older slabs. Older homes may have slabs with cracks, patches, previous paint or uneven areas. Expect preparation to be a bigger part of the job.
Detached garages and carports. These are often more exposed to weather, so mention whether the space is open-sided.
Wet areas in commercial spaces. Drains, slopes and daily washdowns call for specific textures and edge details.
Narrow lots and street parking. Tell us where equipment can be staged.

78703: Tarrytown, Clarksville and West Austin

78703 includes Tarrytown, Clarksville and nearby west-central neighborhoods. Homes range from older houses on mature lots to large remodels and new builds.

Typical projects

Two- and three-car garages, often with storage, workshop or gym areas.
Metallic or decorative finishes for garages that double as entertaining or hobby spaces.
Patios and covered outdoor areas.
Basements and lower levels on sloped lots.

What to plan for

Existing coatings. Garages in remodeled homes sometimes have an earlier coating that must come off first.
Moisture on sloped lots. Lower levels built into a slope can be prone to moisture. A careful moisture check matters.
Finish expectations. For decorative floors, share photos of looks you like so we can match the system and budget.
Tree debris and shade. Mature trees can mean leaves, sap and shade on outdoor slabs, which affects cleaning and cure conditions.

78704: South Austin

78704 covers a large area south of Lady Bird Lake, including Travis Heights, Bouldin Creek, Zilker and the South Lamar and South Congress corridors. It's a mix of bungalows, newer homes, townhomes, and plenty of local businesses.

Typical projects

Garages in older and newer homes, from single-car to larger.
Converted garages and studios, used as offices, gyms or workshops.
Retail, restaurant and salon floors along busy commercial streets.
Patios and pool-adjacent areas.

What to plan for

Garage conversions. If a garage is becoming a room, flooring choices may change: comfort, appearance and transitions to the rest of the house matter more.
Slab movement. Central Texas clay soils can move with moisture, and older slabs may show cracks as a result. We'll explain how we plan to handle cracks, and which ones may continue to move.
Busy streets. For commercial jobs, we'll plan around customer hours and parking.
Heat and sun. Outdoor surfaces in direct sun need products and timing suited to summer temperatures.

78705: West Campus, North University and the Guadalupe Corridor

78705 runs around the University of Texas at Austin, including West Campus, North University and the Guadalupe Street corridor where our office sits.

Typical projects

Restaurant and retail floors along Guadalupe and nearby streets.
Multi-unit and student housing common areas, laundry rooms and storage spaces, where durability and easy cleaning matter.
Garages and carports in older homes north of campus.
Studios and small offices.

What to plan for

Turnover schedules. Rental and student housing work often has to fit between move-outs and move-ins. Tell us your deadline early.
High traffic. Common areas see heavy use, so slip resistance and wear matter more than in a typical home.
Parking and access. Dense blocks and limited parking require planning for equipment and crew vehicles.
Being close by. Our office is in 78705, which makes site visits in this area straightforward.

Floors by the Age of the Building

The age of a building often says more about its floor than its zip code does.

Older homes and buildings

Central Austin has many older houses and commercial buildings. Their slabs can come with:

Several layers of history: paint, sealers, tile adhesive or earlier coatings.
Patches and repairs from past plumbing or foundation work, sometimes in a different concrete mix.
Wider cracks and uneven areas from years of soil movement.
Detached garages that were never built for heavy modern vehicles.

None of this rules out a coating, but it means preparation takes longer, and we'll want to see the floor before confirming a price.

Remodels

Remodeled homes and buildings sometimes have a mix of old and new concrete, such as an addition poured next to an original slab. The joint between them needs attention, and the two areas may take preparation differently.

Newer construction

Newer slabs are usually flatter and cleaner, but they still need preparation. Smooth, dense new concrete must be opened up so the coating can grip, and very new slabs need time to cure before coating. If your home or building is recently built, tell us roughly when the slab was poured.

Commercial Floors in Central Austin

Commercial projects across these zip codes share some common needs:

Minimal downtime. We'll plan phases or after-hours work so you can keep operating where possible.
Slip resistance in kitchens, entries and wet areas.
Cleanability for food service, salons, clinics and studios.
Durability under carts, pallet jacks and foot traffic.
Documentation, such as product data sheets, for your records or your landlord.

Commercial work is typically priced at $2–$5 per square foot, depending on the system and the condition of the floor. We'll provide a written scope covering preparation, system, schedule and cure times.

Questions Central Austin Customers Often Ask

"My garage is tiny. Is it still worth coating?" Many small garages in older neighborhoods are used for storage, workshops or laundry rather than parking. A coating makes them easier to clean and brighter. The 1-car range of $800–$1,200 is a useful guide.

"Can you coat a carport?" Often, yes, but outdoor exposure affects product choice. Tell us how much sun and rain the slab gets.

"Do I need to be home?" Not necessarily for the whole job, but someone should be available for the walkthrough at the start and the end.

"How disruptive is the work?" Expect noise during grinding, which usually happens early in the job, and some odor during application depending on the product. We'll tell you in advance which days are loudest so you can plan around them, and we'll explain when it's safe to return to the space.

"Can my HOA or landlord see the plan first?" Yes. We can provide a written scope, product information and proof of insurance for review before work starts.

"What if my zip code isn't listed here?" This page focuses on five central zip codes, but we serve all of Austin and Georgetown. The same advice about slabs, access and timing applies across the city.

Preparing Your Space Before We Arrive

A little preparation on your side helps the job go smoothly in any zip code:

Clear the floor of vehicles, boxes, shelves and anything stored along the walls.
Note what can't move, such as water heaters or built-in cabinets.
Arrange parking for the crew vehicle and a spot for equipment, especially on busy central streets.
Tell neighbors or tenants about noisy days if you're in a dense block or shared building.
Plan where vehicles will go during cure time, since the garage won't be usable right away.
Confirm power and water access so the crew can run equipment and clean up.

Comparing the Zip Codes at a Glance

Zip	Common building types	Main planning points
78701	Commercial, high-rise, mixed-use	Building rules, access, after-hours work
78702	Older homes, infill, small businesses	Older slabs, wet areas, staging
78703	Larger homes, remodels	Old coatings, moisture, decorative finishes
78704	Bungalows, conversions, businesses	Clay soil cracks, conversions, sun
78705	Campus-area housing, retail	Turnover deadlines, traffic, parking

Systems We Commonly Recommend

The right system depends on the floor and how it's used, not on the zip code. As a general guide:

Flake systems with a polyaspartic topcoat are a common choice for garages. They hide dirt, add texture and can return to service relatively quickly.
Solid-color epoxy suits workshops, storage and utility rooms where a clean, simple look is wanted.
Metallic epoxy is chosen for showrooms, studios and garages that double as living or entertaining space.
Commercial systems for kitchens, shops and warehouses are selected for traffic, chemicals, moisture and cleaning routines.

We'll explain the options that fit your floor, along with the trade-offs in cost, appearance and downtime.

How Central Austin Affects the Job Itself

A few things come up more often in central Austin than in suburban areas:

Staging space. Grinders, vacuums and mixing stations need room. On narrow lots or busy streets we'll plan where to put them.
Noise. Grinding is loud. In dense blocks, we'll talk about timing so neighbors and tenants aren't caught off guard.
Dust control. We use vacuum-attached grinding to keep dust down, which matters more when neighbors are close.
Older construction. Many central Austin buildings have been remodeled several times, so it's common to find patches, old adhesives or earlier coatings.

Getting an Accurate Quote in Any of These Zip Codes

Send us:

Your zip code and address, so we can plan access.
Measurements of the area, in feet, or a floor plan.
Daylight photos: a wide shot plus close-ups of cracks, stains and existing coatings.
How you use the space and the look you want.
Your deadline, especially for rentals and businesses.
Any building rules, such as work hours or insurance requirements.

With that, we can give you a realistic range before visiting, then confirm the final price after seeing the floor.

Beyond Central Austin

We serve Austin and Georgetown. If you're in another Austin zip code, the same advice applies: older slabs need more preparation, sun and heat affect outdoor work, and clear photos and measurements lead to better quotes. Call to ask about your address.

Seasonal Timing in Central Austin

Central Texas weather affects floor coating work all year:

Summer. Hot slabs and high air temperatures shorten working time for many products. Early-morning starts are common, and garage doors may need to stay partly closed to keep the slab out of direct sun.
Spring and fall. Mild temperatures are comfortable for both crews and materials, which makes these popular seasons. Book early if you have a deadline.
Winter. Cold snaps can slow curing. We'll check forecasts and may adjust products or timing.
Rainy periods. Rain doesn't stop interior work, but outdoor slabs need to be dry, and humidity can affect some products.

After the Floor Is Done

Wherever you are in central Austin, the care routine is similar:

Follow the cure times we give you before walking, moving items back, and parking.
Sweep or dust-mop regularly so grit doesn't dull the finish.
Clean spills promptly, especially oil, fluids and harsh chemicals.
Use a mild cleaner rather than strong solvents unless we've said otherwise.
Protect against point loads with pads under jack stands, heavy shelving and furniture legs.

For businesses, we'll talk through a cleaning routine suited to your operation, such as daily mopping in a restaurant or scrubbing in a shop.
