Epoxy Flooring in Wilton, ND

Epoxy flooring in Wilton reaches homes from every era of a town that has been building for more than a century. Wilton was founded in 1899 when the railroad reached the site, and General W. D. Washburn named it after Wilton, Maine. The depot, finished in 1900, is listed as the Soo Line Depot. The town was built up largely by Ukrainian settlers. Today Wilton straddles Burleigh and McLean counties, sits at about 2,172 feet, and had 718 people in the 2020 Census.

A town that grew twice

Wilton's population history explains its housing. It had 437 residents in 1910, then dropped to around 100 to 150 for most of the next 60 years. Then it rose to 262 in 1980 and 728 in 1990. So Wilton has two main groups of homes:

• Early town-lot houses from the railroad years, often with small detached garages and old, uneven slabs
• Homes from the 1980s growth, now about 40 years old, with attached garages and basements that have seen plenty of winters

Newer rural builds around town add a third group with fresh concrete.

Basements in an older community

Wilton's median age is about 47.5, and the average household is just under two people. Many owners are settling into their homes for the long run and want a lower level that is easy to keep clean. Basement Floor Epoxy turns a dusty slab into a surface you can mop. On 40-year-old basements we often find old paint, carpet glue or tile adhesive. All of that has to be ground off. We also run a moisture test, because older foundations can let in more ground moisture than new ones. If the reading is high, we tell you before quoting.

The garage and shop

For the garage, an Epoxy Flake Floor with a polyaspartic topcoat is the most common choice. It covers the patches and stains old slabs collect and cuts down on slipping in winter. Owners with a shop on a rural lot outside town can choose our Shop & Pole Barn Floor Epoxy for heavier use. If you want something more decorative in a finished basement, Metallic Epoxy Floors give a poured, marbled look.

Easier on the knees

We hear from a lot of Wilton owners who are tired of scrubbing stained concrete. A coated floor needs only sweeping and the occasional mop. Ask about adding fine texture to the topcoat if you want more grip on a basement or garage floor.

Small garages, careful prep

Many early Wilton garages are single stalls on narrow town lots, with slabs that were poured long ago and patched over time. Edges along the walls tend to be the roughest part. We grind them with smaller equipment, fill gaps where the slab meets the foundation, and repair the threshold where the garage door seals. A small garage can usually be finished in a day or two. We give you written times for walking on the floor, putting things back and parking.
