Tarrytown is one of the most architecturally distinctive neighborhoods in Austin. The Tudor revivals, midcentury moderns, and Lake Austin shore estates that fill Pemberton Heights, Old Enfield, Westover Hills, and Bridle Path are not generic homes — and a generic garage finish does not fit them. Our installs in 78703 lean refined: deeper, quieter color palettes, period-appropriate trim, and cabinetry finishes that read as built-in millwork rather than bolted-on industrial equipment.

Older homes also bring older slabs. Most Tarrytown concrete is 40 to 90 years old, with cracks, settling, surface contamination from decades of use, and sometimes structural issues that need to be addressed before any coating goes down. We handle all of it during prep — full diamond grind, structural-grade epoxy crack repair, patching where settlement has created low spots, and where necessary, leveling with self-leveling underlayment.

Tarrytown also has a substantial inventory of detached garages, carriage houses, and converted outbuildings. A meaningful percentage of our 78703 work is structures that were never connected to the main house — 1920s and 1930s standalone garages, carriage houses converted to studios or guest accommodations, pool houses with adjoining bays.

Working with older Tarrytown slabs

The single biggest difference between a Tarrytown garage install and a new-construction install in Cedar Park is the slab. Tarrytown garages are often 60, 70, even 90 years old, with concrete that has settled unevenly, cracked along expansion lines, absorbed decades of oil and chemicals, and sometimes been sealed or coated with products that need to be mechanically removed before any new system can bond properly.

Prep on a Tarrytown slab takes longer than prep on a new slab, and that is fine — it is where the entire project succeeds or fails. We start with a full structural assessment: walking the slab, measuring elevations, photographing crack patterns, and identifying any zones where concrete has spalled, settled, or been damaged by previous installations.

Crack repair is where the work gets specialized. Hairline cracks get filled with structural-grade epoxy that bonds to the concrete on either side. Larger cracks get routed out with a crack chaser, filled with a flexible polyurethane sealant where movement is expected, and then bridged with a fiber-reinforced epoxy that prevents the crack from telegraphing through the new coating.
