Epoxy Flooring in Red Chute, LA

Red Chute is a family community, and that shapes the epoxy flooring jobs we do in Red Chute. The 2020 census counted 7,065 people in 2,656 households. Married couples made up 57.9% of those households, 35.9% had children under 18, and about a quarter of residents were under 18. In homes like that, the garage is rarely just for parking. It holds bikes, coolers, a second fridge, sports gear and often a weight bench.

What families ask us for

• A floor that does not show every footprint and spilled drink
• Grip for kids running in from the yard and wet tires after a storm
• A space that can be swept or hosed out in a few minutes
• A section that feels finished enough for a home gym or play area
• A short time out of service, since the garage is in use every day

How we answer those

For most Red Chute garages we suggest a full flake floor. The chips hide dust and scuffs between cleanings, and the texture adds grip without feeling rough on bare feet. If a weight area is planned, we can lay rubber mats over the flake floor or coat that zone in a solid color so the mats sit flat. Families who cannot lose the garage for several days often pick a polyaspartic topcoat. It lets foot traffic back on sooner than a standard epoxy topcoat.

Location and access

Red Chute is a census-designated place, not a city. Bossier City borders it to the west and Eastwood to the east. US Routes 80 and 79 are the main road, running about 8 miles west to downtown Shreveport. Interstate 20 forms the southern edge but has no exit inside the CDP, so most of our trips in come along US 80/79 from Exit 17. The CDP covers about 9.24 square miles, and the 2020 census counted 15.4% of residents as rural, so we also see some larger lots with detached shops.

Permits outside city limits

Because Red Chute is unincorporated, building codes here are enforced by the parish building official. The Bossier Parish Police Jury lists Code Inspections Plus in Bossier City as the office for permits outside incorporated areas. A coating on an existing garage floor is usually interior finish work. If you are also building a new shop or adding on, check with that office first.

Bigger lots and detached shops

The larger lots in the more rural parts of Red Chute often carry a metal shop or a detached two-car garage. Those buildings are usually not air-conditioned, so we schedule them early in the day in summer. They also see heavier use than the house garage, with mowers, ATVs and project cars. We use a thicker shop system on those floors and the lighter family system in the attached garage.

Steady growth

Red Chute first appeared as a CDP in the 1990 census with 5,431 people. It grew to 5,984 in 2000, 6,261 in 2010 and 7,065 in 2020. That mix of 1990s, 2000s and newer homes means we see garages at every stage. Some need only a grind and coat. Older ones need crack repair first.
