ProEpoxy in York Region — Markham, Richmond Hill & Beyond
ProEpoxy crews service all of York Region with no travel surcharge. Markham, Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Vaughan, Aurora, and Newmarket are regular service areas — same system quality, same 5-year adhesion warranty, same day-of-install crews as our Toronto projects.
York Region's housing profile — newer detached homes, executive townhouses, and a significant tech-sector commercial base in Markham's Enterprise corridor — drives demand for high-finish garage epoxy, premium residential basement coatings, and industrial-grade commercial systems for the region's dense tech-park footprint.
Markham
High proportion of 2000s–2020s detached homes with attached double and triple garages. Cornell, Unionville, Angus Glen, Berczy Village — we install throughout. Commercial: Enterprise Drive tech corridor and Woodbine Business Park industrial units.
Richmond Hill
Mix of established 1990s homes in Oak Ridges and newer builds in Jefferson, Westbrook, and Rouge Woods. Beaver Creek industrial park commercial installs. Stacked townhouse parking units with tight clearance — we spec thin-build systems where needed.
Thornhill
Older slab-on-grade homes from the 1970s–1980s often have oil contamination and marginal surface profiles — we shot blast rather than grind to ensure proper CSP. Excellent candidates for metallic epoxy in finished basement recreation rooms.
Aurora & Newmarket
Growing residential base and light industrial mix. Larger rural and semi-rural properties with shop floors and multi-bay garages. We bring our own 3-phase diamond grinding equipment — no dependence on local rental availability.

York Region Conditions to Know
New Construction Delays (Markham, Whitchurch-Stouffville)
Markham's active development pipeline — Cornell Centre, box-store district expansions, and new residential in Angus Glen North — means many customers are requesting epoxy within weeks of move-in. Concrete slabs in new York Region builds must reach 28 days cure and ASTM F2170 RH below 75% before any coating. We schedule moisture tests as a first step and confirm dates based on test results, not the builder's preferred timeline.
Older Thornhill Slabs
Homes built in Thornhill and northern Toronto suburbs through the 1970s and 1980s often have slabs with decades of oil accumulation from vehicle parking. Surface grinding alone does not remove chlorinated solvent and petroleum contamination below the top 1–2mm. For these slabs, we specify shot blasting to CSP 5 and a contamination test before priming. Skipping this step produces a floor that peels within one winter season.
Townhouse & Condo Parking Units
Richmond Hill's stacked townhouses and Markham's condo buildings often have parking levels with 7-foot clearance and no freight elevator access. We use compact 220V diamond grinders that fit in standard elevators and produce minimal dust with on-tool HEPA extraction. Thin-build polyaspartic systems (2–3 mils) are specified to avoid raising floor height under low-clearance garage doors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does ProEpoxy install epoxy flooring in Markham and Richmond Hill?
Yes. ProEpoxy services all of York Region — Markham, Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Vaughan, Aurora, and Newmarket — with no travel surcharge. Our crews install residential garage floors, basement coatings, and commercial epoxy systems throughout the region. Same-week bookings are typically available.
How much does epoxy flooring cost in Markham or Richmond Hill?
Pricing matches our Toronto rates with no travel surcharge. A standard double-garage epoxy floor (400–600 sq ft) costs $2,800–$5,200 installed. Polyaspartic one-day systems run $4,500–$7,500 for the same area. Commercial flooring in York Region tech parks and warehouse spaces starts at $7/sq ft for large-area industrial coatings.
What is the best epoxy system for a Markham townhouse or condo garage?
For Markham townhouse parking units and condo garage stalls, a thin-build polyaspartic system (2–3 mils) is preferred — it fits under most parking garage clearance constraints and cures in 4–6 hours for rapid return to service. For private attached garages, a full 2-coat epoxy base with polyaspartic topcoat provides better long-term durability at lower cost.
Do new Markham homes need to wait before getting epoxy floors?
Yes. Concrete slabs in new Markham and Richmond Hill subdivisions must cure for a minimum of 28 days before epoxy application. We also require ASTM F2170 in-situ RH below 75% — new slabs sometimes need 60–90 days in humid summer conditions. Builders who push for earlier coating typically produce floors that peel within a year.
Can ProEpoxy coat commercial floors in Markham's tech parks and industrial areas?
Yes. We regularly install commercial and industrial epoxy systems in Markham's Enterprise Drive corridor, Woodbine Business Park, and Richmond Hill's Beaver Creek industrial area. Systems include standard 2-coat industrial epoxy, polyaspartic topcoat overlays, ESD anti-static flooring for electronics facilities, and urethane cement for food processing applications.
