Smith & Company Painting installed a commercial epoxy flooring in Newberg, Oregon with full prep, Driftwood flake, and chemical-resistant topcoat. A 1-inch vinyl-to-concrete height difference was solved with a custom 15-foot epoxy ramp. The finished system is seamless, slip-resistant, and resistant to bacteria, pet urine, and abrasion.

Project Type: Commercial Polyaspartic Epoxy Flooring System
Area: 260 sq. ft.
System Installed: Polyaspartic Base Coat + Driftwood Flake + Aluminum Oxide Topcoat
Estimated Project Value: $6,500–$7,500 range
Duration: Multi-day installation (extended due to additional repair scope)
Contractor: Parker Smith with Smith & Company Painting
This installation required a custom-engineered resinous flooring system designed for a high-use commercial restoration environment where durability, sanitation, and cleanability were essential.
Veterinarian Clinic Epoxy Flooring Oregon Project, Location
Newberg, Oregon served as the project site within Oregon’s Willamette Valley.
Why Epoxy Flooring Is Ideal for Restoration Facilities
Commercial restoration environments require flooring systems engineered for constant operational stress.
- High durability under equipment and foot traffic
- Chemical resistance for cleaning and restoration materials
- Seamless surface to prevent contamination and moisture intrusion
- Slip-resistant finish for workplace safety
- Low maintenance and long service life
Concrete Floor Surface Condition & Initial Challenges
The existing concrete showed moderate-to-heavy wear from long-term commercial use, including equipment traffic, cleaning chemicals, and operational impact over time.
Cracks & Joint Deterioration
- Slab movement cracks
- Failing joint filler
- Moisture intrusion risk
- Required full routing and flexible repair systems
Surface Wear & Contamination
- Embedded chemical staining
- Heavy abrasion from equipment
- Uneven surface profile
- Required full mechanical grinding
Drain & Edge Damage
- Chipped drain perimeters
- Edge deterioration from impact
- High-stress zones requiring reinforcement
Height Transition & Flooring Compatibility Challenge
A key site condition involved a 1-inch height difference between the existing vinyl flooring and the new concrete coating system. To create a safe and functional transition, Smith & Company Painting constructed a custom epoxy ramp system.
The ramp was engineered to:
- Gradually transition over a 4-foot slope
- Span the full 15-foot length of the vinyl-to-concrete interface
- Eliminate trip hazards and equipment snag points
- Provide a smooth, continuous transition between flooring surfaces
Additional Performance Requirements
Because the facility operates in a restoration environment with frequent cleaning and exposure to organic contamination, the flooring system also needed to meet enhanced sanitation and durability requirements.
The final system was designed to be:
- Easily cleanable and non-porous
- Resistant to bacterial growth and contamination buildup
- Resistant to pet urine exposure without staining or breakdown
- Resistant to scratching from pet claws and equipment traffic
