Harwood is a small community in Cass County just north of Fargo, close to Interstate 29. It sits between the city and the open farmland to the north, and many of its residents work in Fargo while enjoying more space, larger lots and quiet streets. Its homes tend to include newer builds with attached garages, as well as larger properties with detached shops. Fargo Epoxy works in Harwood as part of the Fargo–Moorhead area, and it is one of the closest communities to our home base.
The commuter's garage
For people who spend their day on I-29, the garage is where life starts and ends. Cars arrive with slush on the wheel wells and salt on the undercarriage, and a lot of that ends up on the floor. Harwood's new homes typically have two- and three-car garages with relatively young slabs, which are often good candidates for coating once cured. We usually recommend a flake system with a chemical-resistant topcoat because it conceals winter grime between cleanings. A polyaspartic topcoat is a popular upgrade for people who want a quicker return to service or have south-facing doors that let in strong sun. See polyaspartic vs epoxy for the differences.
If you are unsure about a young slab, the process page and prep and warranty page cover how we check cure, sealers and surface condition.
Detached shops and bigger lots
Larger lots mean detached garages and heated shops. Harwood residents use them for vehicles, woodworking, small engines, boats and storage. Workshop floors often develop oil stains and cracks, and they deserve a heavier-duty approach than a typical attached garage. We take time to review the loads and chemicals involved, and we discuss whether a thicker system is appropriate. If the shop is unheated, we also discuss timing, because the slab must reach the product's minimum temperature.
Weather and drainage north of Fargo
Harwood shares the flat clay landscape of the Red River Valley. Wet springs can leave standing water in yards, and drainage matters. If meltwater regularly pools at the garage door or runs into the garage, even a high-quality coating will need clean-up; we may suggest improving the apron slope or door seals. In the basement, clay soils and a high water table raise moisture risk. Our basement epoxy and moisture guide lists the checks to run before you coat.
Choosing a finish for a Harwood garage
- Neutral flake: timeless and forgiving.
- Bold blend or darker palette: good for hobby spaces and truck bays.
- Metallic: a premium look for a show garage; see metallic floors.
- Solid color: clean and bright, with more visible dirt.

Where Harwood fits in our schedule
Harwood is among the shortest drives from our Fargo base, which makes it practical for smaller jobs as well as large ones. A single-stall garage, a mudroom or a laundry room can be done without a major mobilization, and we can often fit a quick estimate visit into a day we are already working in north Fargo. If you are planning multiple spaces, such as a garage, an entryway and a basement utility room, mention all of them at once. Bundling spaces in one visit saves setup time and lets us plan a sensible sequence.
Preparing the house for work day
Because most Harwood homes have attached garages, dust and foot traffic into the house are common concerns. We use dust collection when grinding, but fine dust travels. Close the interior door, tape the threshold if you like, and cover open shelving in adjoining rooms. Plan for pets and children to stay out of the work area. Remove anything hanging from walls near the floor, such as bikes or cords, so edges can be ground cleanly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Harwood part of your regular area?
Yes. It is just north of Fargo, close to our home base.
What system suits a commuter garage?
Most commuters choose flake with a chemical-resistant topcoat, because it hides salt and grime and cleans up easily.
Can you coat a detached shop on a larger lot?
Yes. We review loads, chemicals and heating, then recommend a suitable system and timing.
What if water gets into my garage from the driveway?
A coating helps with cleanup but cannot fix drainage. We point out apron slope or door-seal problems at the estimate.
