About High Stakes Epoxy LLC
We prep hard, coat properly and leave a floor that still looks right in five years. That is the whole business.
About us
Locally owned, and the owner is on your job.
High Stakes Epoxy LLC is a locally owned and operated concrete coating company serving Cleveland, MO and the greater Kansas City metro. Founded by Tyler Wilms, we install residential and commercial epoxy flooring, garage floor coatings, decorative concrete and custom floor systems built for durability, appearance and long-term performance.
We are committed to high-quality craftsmanship, reliable service and flooring that stands up to everyday use while improving the look and the value of your property.
Our mission
Transformative solutions, lasting impressions
Exceptional craftsmanship
Our installers are trained and experienced, and every detail gets attention — from the first pass of the grinder to the final topcoat.
Superior materials
We use commercial-grade products exclusively, for durability, chemical resistance and a floor that lasts.
Client-centric approach
Personalised consultations, straight answers and a solution built around what you actually need.
Local expertise
We work in this climate every week. We know what Missouri and Kansas weather does to a slab, and we build for it.
Our story
Built on quality, driven by passion
High Stakes Epoxy LLC was established with a clear aim: to give homeowners and businesses across the Kansas City region concrete coatings that are not only good-looking but built to last.
Tyler Wilms, a lifelong local and a dedicated craftsman, saw how badly the area needed a concrete coating contractor it could rely on. He assembled a team that shares his commitment to precision, to proper materials, and to leaving a customer satisfied.
From a small start we have grown into a recognised name in Kansas City epoxy flooring, with a reputation built on careful surface preparation and clean application. We think every concrete surface has potential, and we enjoy unlocking it.
Why High Stakes Epoxy LLC
Most failed epoxy floors were lost before the coating ever came out of the pail.
Coatings don’t fail because of the product. They fail because of what happened — or didn’t happen — to the concrete underneath. That’s the part we refuse to rush.
We grind. We don’t acid etch.
Every floor gets mechanically diamond-ground to an open concrete profile before anything is applied. It’s slower, dustier and the single biggest reason a floor lasts fifteen years instead of peeling in two.
Commercial-grade product on residential jobs.
The same coatings we put down in warehouses go into your garage. No thinned box-store kits, no shortcuts on mil thickness to make a number work.
The owner is on your job.
High Stakes is owner-operated by Tyler Wilms out of Cleveland, MO. The person who quotes your floor is the person standing on it with a grinder.
You get the cure schedule in writing.
When you can walk on it, when you can park on it, how to clean it, and what’s covered. Written down before we leave, not guessed at over the phone a week later.
How a job runs
Four steps, and you’ll know where we are in all of them.
Free on-site estimate
We measure, check the slab for moisture and cracks, and lay out real flake and color samples in your space so you can see them in your own light.
Diamond grind & repair
Old coating comes off, the slab gets ground to profile with dust-contained equipment, and cracks, pits and control joints get filled.
Basecoat, broadcast, topcoat
Basecoat goes down, flake is broadcast to rejection where the system calls for it, then it’s scraped back and locked in under a clear topcoat.
Walk-through & cure schedule
We walk the finished floor with you, hand over the written cure times and care instructions, and haul every bit of our mess out with us.
Our standard
Why these floors last
Coatings, not paint
Industrial resin systems bonded to prepared concrete. They do not peel off the slab the way a rolled-on garage paint does.
Preparation is the job
Every floor is mechanically ground and every old coating removed before anything is applied. Adhesion is decided here, not at the topcoat.
Built for traffic
The same systems go down in commercial shops and in home garages, so a residential floor is rated well past what a car and a floor jack ask of it.
Finishes you actually choose
Flake blends, metallics, dyes and solid colours — the colour and the flake mix are picked per floor, not from a fixed set of three.
Repair before resurface
Cracks, spalling and pitting are patched as part of the prep. An overlay hides a bad slab for a season; a repaired slab stays flat.
Free quotes
We measure the floor, look at the condition of the concrete, and give you a number. No charge, no obligation.
