Epoxy, masonry and concrete in Houston

If we can carve a cliff into a living room, your garage floor is easy.

JY Construction does epoxy floors and countertops, brick and stone masonry, and concrete work across Houston. We also sculpt rock walls like this one by hand, and every garage floor gets that same care.

At the visit we measure, test your slab for moisture, and bring samples you can hold. You get a written price within 48 hours.

Living room rock wall

A plain two-story wall became the focal point of the room. We sculpted a rock face that wraps the archway, climbs to the vaulted ceiling, and frames the TV.

Every ridge and crack is shaped and textured by hand to look like natural stone.

What we do

Five kinds of work, all built on the same thing: solid prep and materials that hold up to Houston heat, humidity and clay soil.

Epoxy garage floors

Pull in to a floor that looks like a showroom and wipes clean.

A full-broadcast flake or metallic epoxy system over a diamond-ground slab. It resists oil and chemical stains, cleans with a mop, and turns a dusty garage into usable space.

  • Flake, metallic and solid-color systems
  • Polyaspartic topcoats that resist hot-tire pickup
  • Crack and spall repair before coating
  • Anti-slip texture on request
  • Garages, shops, patios and showrooms
  • Most garages finished in 1 to 2 days

A store-bought kit is cheaper the first time. A proper floor is cheaper overall, because there isn't a second time.

White marble-look epoxy countertops on a kitchen island

Epoxy countertops

A kitchen that looks remodeled, without removing a single cabinet.

A poured epoxy surface that can look like marble, granite or a solid color, applied over your existing countertops in most cases. You get a new look without the tear-out, the fabricator's wait, or the price of new stone.

  • Kitchens, bathrooms, bars and islands
  • Marble, stone and metallic looks
  • Often poured over sound laminate or tile
  • Seamless, food-safe once fully cured
  • Custom colors matched to your space
  • Usually 2 to 4 days start to finish

Quoted per project after we measure and check your existing tops.

Masonry

Brick that matches the house, so the repair disappears.

Brick, stone and block work for new builds and repairs. We build walls, columns and mailboxes, and fix the cracked mortar and loose brick that Houston's shifting soil leaves behind.

  • Brick and stone veneer
  • Block and retaining walls
  • Columns, pillars and mailboxes
  • Tuckpointing and mortar repair
  • Brick and stone steps
  • Matching existing brick on additions

Quoted after we see the site and the materials you want to match.

Decorative concrete, carved walls and structures

The thing every guest asks about.

Hand-carved rock walls, sculptures and 3D wall art, plus stamped and stained concrete for patios and walkways. We also build benches, planters, fire pits, seat walls and outdoor kitchens in place.

  • Carved rock feature walls, indoors or out
  • Sculptures and backlit wall art
  • Stamped stone, slate and wood patterns (see patterns)
  • Acid and water-based stains
  • Seat walls, planters and fire pits
  • Outdoor kitchen bases and bar tops
  • Sealed for sun and rain

Every piece is custom, so we sketch it with you and quote it before we pour.

Freshly poured concrete slab with anchor bolts set for a steel building

Concrete work

Slabs and driveways built for Houston clay, with the steel and prep to last.

New pours and replacements for driveways, patios, sidewalks and slabs, formed and reinforced for Gulf Coast clay soil. We also grind, polish and seal existing concrete.

  • Driveways and driveway extensions
  • Patios, walkways and sidewalks
  • Slabs for shops, garages and metal buildings (see one start to finish)
  • Tear-out and replacement
  • Grinding, polishing and sealing
  • Crack repair and leveling

We handle city permits where they're required.

The part you never see is the part that matters

A slab we poured for a steel building. Most of the work happened before any concrete arrived.

  1. Grade beam trenches, vapor barrier and a tied rebar grid on plastic chairs before a slab pour

    Beams, barrier and steel

    Grade beams dug around the edges and across the middle. A vapor barrier to block ground moisture. A rebar grid tied and raised on chairs, so the steel ends up inside the concrete instead of lying under it.

  2. Finished concrete slab with anchor bolts along the edges

    Poured, finished, bolts set

    Poured and finished flat, with anchor bolts placed exactly where the building's columns would land.

  3. Steel building frame standing on the finished concrete slab

Most floors fail before the first coat goes on

Peeling almost always traces back to skipped prep or an untested slab. That's where we spend our time, and why we'll tell you if your slab isn't ready rather than coat over it.

  1. Free visit

    We measure, test your slab for moisture, and bring samples you can hold. No obligation.

  2. Written quote

    You get a line-item quote with the system, colors and schedule spelled out.

  3. Prep

    Diamond grinding opens the concrete. Cracks and pits are filled and leveled.

  4. Install

    Base coat, flake or pattern, and a UV-stable topcoat, applied the same visit when possible.

  5. Cure and walkthrough

    We walk the job with you and leave care instructions and cure times in writing.

Built for Houston conditions

Humidity and slab moisture

Moisture coming up through a slab is the most common reason coatings peel. We test before we quote and use a moisture-tolerant primer when readings call for it.

Heat and hot tires

Garage temperatures here routinely pass 100°F. Polyaspartic topcoats hold up to hot-tire pickup far better than basic epoxy kits.

Clay soil

Expansive clay moves slabs. New pours get proper base prep, rebar and control joints so cracks happen where we plan them.

Stamped concrete patterns

Popular patterns for patios, driveways and walkways. Each can be colored to match your home, and we bring samples to your free measure.

Common questions

How soon can I use my garage after an epoxy floor?

It depends on the system. With a polyaspartic topcoat, light foot traffic is usually fine the next day and vehicles within a few days. Traditional epoxy needs longer. We'll give you exact times in writing for your floor.

Will a coated garage floor be slippery?

Flake floors have natural texture. For metallic or solid floors, we can add an anti-slip additive to the topcoat so it stays safe when wet.

Can epoxy go over my existing countertops?

Usually, if the existing surface is solid and well attached. Laminate and tile are common candidates. We check during the measure and tell you if anything needs replacing first.

Are epoxy countertops heat-proof?

No. Cured epoxy handles everyday use well, but hot pans can mark it, so use trivets. We cover care in your walkthrough.

Why not use a store-bought epoxy kit?

Kits are thin, water-based coatings rolled onto concrete that usually hasn't been ground. They often peel under hot tires within a year or two. Professional systems are thicker and bond to properly prepared concrete.

Can you match the brick on my house?

Often, yes. We bring samples to the site and check local brick yards for the closest color and size. Older or discontinued brick can be hard to match exactly, and we tell you that up front.

Do you pour new concrete, or only coat it?

Both. We pour driveways, patios, walkways and slabs, and build decorative pieces like benches, planters and fire pits.
