Epoxy flooring in Oakville, owned and operated here.
Salam Alassali started Ironside in 2024 after one too many kitchen-table quotes from contractors who couldn’t name the resin system they were installing.
Started because garage floor coating needed a standard
The GTA garage floor market is split two ways. Budget installers slap epoxy over acid-etched concrete and hope it lasts three years. Franchises charge premium prices for systems their crews were certified on six weeks ago.
Ironside is the middle missing option: a small, tight, Oakville-local shop that only installs what we’d pour in our own garage. Polyaspartic. Diamond-ground. Moisture-tested. Warranted for life.
We are deliberately small. We turn down jobs below our minimum. We turn down property-management portfolios. We turn down out-of-radius drives. That’s how every floor gets the same attention.

“My rule is simple: I won’t sell a floor I wouldn’t install at my own house. That means polyaspartic over diamond-ground concrete, moisture-tested first, backed in writing for life. Anything less is someone else’s business.”
