Hollins concrete coatings
Yes, we work in Hollins
Crystal Clear, Inc. works Hollins from both ends. It is a community of 15,574 people in Roanoke County, best known for Hollins University, and its homes have a median build year of about 1976, with roughly 17 percent built since 2000. That mix means we see everything from never-sealed 1970s garage slabs to newer builds whose owners want a finished floor from day one.
Every Hollins job runs out of our concrete coatings company in Roanoke, a short drive away, with the same crew and the same written scope we bring to every valley floor.
What makes Hollins concrete different
Hollins is where Roanoke County goes to work. The county's densest concentration of jobs sits here, with industrial and commercial space strung along Plantation Road and Kimball Avenue and the busy Williamson Road corridor nearby. Industrial concrete lives a hard life, forklifts, pallets, chemicals, and constant traffic, and a failing floor in a working building costs money every single shift.
The residential side has its own story. A median build year of about 1976 means most Hollins garages and basements are on their original, unsealed slabs, and the valley's clay soil and roughly 40 inches of yearly rain keep pressing moisture at those basement floors from below. Damp basements are a valley-wide complaint, and Hollins gets its share.
What we handle here
Concrete coatings in Hollins
Polished and Coated Industrial Floors
Along Plantation Road and Kimball Avenue, concrete floors carry the heaviest traffic in the county, and dusting, worn slabs slow that work down. Our polished concrete work turns an industrial slab into a dense, light-reflective surface that sheds dust, cleans fast, and stands up to forklifts and pallet jacks. We have handled floors from 1,000 square feet to over 1 million square feet, so warehouse bays and production space in Hollins are familiar territory. We schedule around your operation so the floor comes back to you ready to work.
Epoxy Flooring
For garages, shops, and back-of-house commercial space in Hollins, epoxy is the workhorse finish. Our epoxy coating work bonds a tough, glossy, chemical-resistant surface to the slab, sealing a 1970s garage floor that has never had a finish or giving a work area a floor that wipes clean at the end of the day. We grind and repair the concrete first, then build the coating in layers, so the finish is anchored into the slab rather than sitting on top of it. That prep is why our floors last.
Concrete Resurfacing
Driveways, walks, and steps from Hollins' 1970s building years are reaching the age where surface damage takes over, pitting, scaling, and a worn, patchy look that repair alone cannot erase. Our resurfacing work bonds a fresh wear layer over the sound slab underneath, giving the whole surface a clean, uniform finish without the cost and mess of tearing out and repouring. We inspect the slab first and tell you plainly whether resurfacing will hold, because a new surface over failing concrete helps no one.
Basement Floor Sealing
Hollins basements sit on the same swelling clay as the rest of the valley, and with roughly 40 inches of rain a year feeding it, moisture keeps working up through unsealed slabs as damp floors, musty air, and concrete dust. Sealing and coating the slab closes that path and turns the basement into space you can trust with storage, a shop, or a finished room. If the lowest floor of your Hollins home never feels dry, call Chris at (540) 598-3010 and we will look at the slab before you spend on dehumidifiers that only treat the air.
Why Hollins calls us
Why Hollins property owners choose Crystal Clear, Inc.
Very few contractors are equally at home in a two-car garage and a million-square-foot industrial floor. Crystal Clear, Inc. is, because concrete coatings are all we have done in the Roanoke Valley for over 40 years, across more than 2,000 completed projects, rated 4.9 on Google.
In Hollins that range matters. The same week can put our crew under a homeowner's basement stairs and on a Plantation Road warehouse slab, and both customers get the same thing: honest prep, a written scope from Chris Miller, and a floor built to be walked on for years.
Where you will see us in Hollins
Hollins University gives this end of the county its name and its landmark, and the neighborhoods around it are where our residential garage and basement calls cluster. Homes here mostly date to the 1970s, with a newer wave built since 2000, and both kinds keep the crew busy.
The working side of Hollins runs along Plantation Road and Kimball Avenue, with the Williamson Road corridor close by. That is the county's densest stretch of jobs, and its warehouses, shops, and commercial buildings are where you will most often spot our truck on this side of the valley.

Clear answers to your concrete questions
Do you serve Hollins?
Yes, from both ends. Hollins is a short drive from our Roanoke shop, and we handle its 1970s homes and its Plantation Road industrial floors with the same crew.
Can you coat a warehouse floor in Hollins without shutting us down?
We plan industrial work around your operation, section by section where the layout allows. Tell us how the building runs and we will build the schedule around it, in writing.
My Hollins garage slab has never been sealed. What does that mean?
It means the concrete has been absorbing oil, salt, and moisture since the 1970s. The slab usually cleans up well: we grind off the contaminated surface, repair the wear, and coat it fresh.
Why is my basement floor damp in Hollins?
The valley’s clay soil swells when wet and pushes moisture through unsealed slabs, and about 40 inches of rain a year keeps the cycle going. Sealing the floor is the working fix.
Do you handle newer Hollins homes too?
Yes. Roughly 17 percent of Hollins housing was built since 2000, and newer slabs take coatings beautifully. Many owners finish the garage or basement floor while the house is still young.
