Licensed DC Flooring Contractor
Epoxy Flooring & Seal Coating in Washington, DC
Family owned since · projects completed · Lifetime workmanship warranty.
Epoxy turns a dull, dusty concrete slab into a seamless, chemical-resistant floor that wipes clean and lasts for years. Purcell's Flooring installs epoxy and seal coatings across Washington, DC for garages, basements, showrooms, and light-commercial spaces — and as a licensed contractor, we get the prep right, which is where most epoxy jobs fail.
Whether it's a Capitol Hill garage, a Navy Yard retail floor, or a finished basement in Cleveland Park, proper grinding, crack repair, and moisture testing are what separate a coating that lasts from one that peels. We offer solid colors, decorative flake, and metallic finishes, and our mobile showroom brings samples to you.

Where epoxy shines in DC properties
Epoxy is a favorite for DC garages and basements because it resists road salt, oil, and moisture — all common in the District's winters. Small-business owners in Navy Yard and Shaw choose decorative flake for showroom and retail floors that look polished but take abuse. Homeowners in Georgetown and Kalorama often go metallic for finished basements.
If your space sees forklift or heavy retail traffic, you may be better served by our commercial flooring systems or commercial vinyl. Not sure which fits? Get a free quote and we'll recommend the right coating for your slab and usage.

Frequently asked questions
How long does an epoxy floor take to cure?
Most residential epoxy floors are walkable in 24 hours and ready for vehicles or heavy use in about 72 hours, depending on the system and DC's temperature/humidity. We'll give you exact cure times for your project.
Why do some epoxy floors peel — and how do you prevent it?
Peeling almost always comes from poor prep or trapped moisture. We diamond-grind the slab, repair cracks, and test for moisture before coating, which is what makes our epoxy floors bond and last.
Can you do epoxy in a DC basement that gets damp?
Yes, but moisture must be addressed first. We test the slab and, if needed, apply a vapor-barrier primer so the coating won't lift. Damp basements are common in older DC homes and very workable with the right system.
