New Year, New Standards: Why January is the Best Time to Upgrade Your Business Floor
As we kick off 2026, many business owners in Central New York are finalizing their budgets and maintenance schedules for the year. If you’ve been walking across cracked, peeling, or dusting concrete, you might be tempted to wait until the spring thaw to address it.
At Taylor’s Flooring Solutions, we’re here to tell you: Don’t wait. Ignoring damaged concrete isn’t just an aesthetic issue—it’s a liability. Here is why upgrading your commercial or industrial flooring this winter is one of the smartest moves you can make for your business.
1. Stop Salt Damage in Its Tracks
In Syracuse and Cicero, road salt and de-icing chemicals are a fact of life. When these hitch a ride into your facility on tires and boots, they seep into the pores of unprotected concrete. This leads to “spalling” and deep structural cracks. Our industrial-grade epoxy and polyaspartic coatings create a seamless, non-porous barrier that makes salt damage a thing of the past.
2. OSHA Compliance and Safety
Old epoxy & concrete coatings that are flaking away create trip hazards. Furthermore, wet winter weather makes bare concrete incredibly slick. We specialize in slip-resistant textures and safety line striping that keep your facility compliant with OSHA standards and, more importantly, keep your employees safe.
3. We Don’t Wait for Spring (And Neither Should You)
A common myth is that you can’t install high-performance epoxy coatings in a New York winter. Because we use specialized industrial heaters and all-weather polyaspartic products, we can achieve a perfect cure even when it’s snowing outside. By booking now, you beat the “Spring Rush” and ensure your facility is ready for peak production season.
4. Minimal Downtime, Maximum Durability
We know that if your floor is wet, you aren’t making money. Our installation process is designed for speed. In most cases, we can have your team back on the floor within 24–48 hours. Once cured, our floors are built to withstand heavy machinery, chemical spills, and high-volume foot traffic.
