I'm the owner of Concord Precision Epoxy Flooring, and our crew coats, polishes and resurfaces concrete in Alamo, from big garages to the decks around backyard pools.

A lot of our calls from Alamo come from homeowners with bigger garages that have turned into a gym, a workshop or a place to park something they care about, and from owners of pool decks that have started to chalk, crack or get slippery. The houses here tend to sit on roomy lots, so the floors are larger and have often been sealed or painted once already.
That earlier coat matters more than people think, because a new coating only holds as well as what's under it. So on an Alamo job I start by finding out what's already on the slab and how it's holding up, before we talk about colors or finishes.
Tell us about your garage, basement or pool deck, and we'll get back to you within one business day. Estimates are free, on site and come with no obligation. I come out to your Alamo address, look at the floor and what's on it, and give you a written estimate with the reasons behind it.
(925) 536-0504Most of our Alamo work is garages coated with epoxy or polyaspartic, pool decks resurfaced and recoated, and concrete ground and polished for home gyms, workshops and covered patios. Where a slab is sound and just needs protecting, concrete sealing is often enough.
Alamo isn't an incorporated city, so Contra Costa County handles building permits and inspections here, and the county says almost all projects in its unincorporated areas need a building or grading permit. Before we put your floor on the calendar, we check with the county about your job, and if it needs a permit, we take care of the application and plan the work around it, so that answer is usually the first thing that sets your start date. Two things are worth checking on any contractor you hire here: a state contractor's license from the Contractors State License Board, and a county business license.
We're based in Concord, a short drive from Alamo, and we work here the same way we do in Walnut Creek and the other cities around us. What moves the price on an Alamo floor is mostly how much work the slab needs before anything goes on it, then the size of the space and the system you pick. The schedule turns on that same prep and the permit answer, and your written estimate gives you your own figure with the reasons behind it.
I come out to every job myself, look at the slab, ask how you use the space and write the estimate. When the work starts, I'm on site with our crew, so the person who planned your floor is the one making sure it goes down right.
Before we pick a system, we check for moisture, old sealers and loose patches. Then we grind the concrete to open it up, because a coating only bonds as well as the surface it's sitting on, and that's the part you'll never see again.
Your written estimate says why we chose epoxy, polyaspartic, polish or a plain sealer for your floor, and I'll tell you when a smaller fix will do. We're licensed and insured. Your satisfaction, guaranteed. Call (925) 536-0504 or use the form to set up a visit.
The county's permit list doesn't settle it for floor coatings, so the answer comes from county staff, and that's the check we make before scheduling. The county's permit information page names remodels, additions, alterations, repairs, decks and pools, and it asks owners to contact staff about other permits. County permits only go to licensed contractors, property owners or their authorized agent.
Yes, the county requires a business license for anyone doing business in its unincorporated areas, and that includes state-licensed contractors no matter where they're based. A contractor from an incorporated city like Concord needs that city's license and the county's, so it's fair to ask any contractor, us included, to show you both.
Your price comes from what we find on the slab and the system you choose, and I put it in writing after I've seen the floor. A sound, bare slab takes less prep than one with an old coating to strip, cracks to repair or moisture to manage, and a flake epoxy floor is usually simpler to lay than a metallic one.
Start with how you use the space and what the slab is doing, and we'll recommend a system from there. Flake epoxy is a tough, easy-to-clean choice for most garages, polyaspartic cures faster and holds up better in sunlight, and polishing suits a sound slab where you want bare concrete with a shine and no coating to wear off.
Most peeling starts in the slab, not in the coating itself. Moisture coming up through the concrete, an old sealer or paint left in place, or a surface that was never ground open will all keep a coating from bonding, and most failed floors I've looked at went wrong for one of those reasons.
No more than $1,000 or 10 percent of the total contract price, whichever is less, under the state board's rule. The board says it applies to all home improvement projects, so a garage floor or pool deck falls under it the same as a remodel.
