We're a flooring contractor based in Concord, CA, and our crew coats, polishes and resurfaces concrete in Pleasant Hill garages, basements, patios and shops. I started the business in 2023 after summers on flooring and concrete crews, and I still look at every floor myself.

Most of our calls here are for the garage floor in a house that's been lived in for a while, with oil stains, a worn-out sealer or an old coating lifting at the edges. A lot of the ground under Pleasant Hill is clay, which swells when it's wet and shrinks when it dries, so slabs here tend to crack and let moisture work up from below.
That's true of the city in general, not a soil report for your lot, so I don't assume. I look at your cracks, check how damp the slab is and see what's already on it, because a coating only holds as well as the concrete under it.
We reply to every Pleasant Hill call and form within one business day. The estimate is free, on site and comes with no obligation. I come out myself, look at the floor, check what's on it and how it's holding up, then give you a written estimate that explains why we'd do it the way we would.
(925) 536-0504In Pleasant Hill we mostly work on garages, where we grind the slab and put down an epoxy or polyaspartic coating that stands up to tires, oil and dropped tools. Basements get a floor chosen for how much moisture the slab lets through, older patios and pool decks get resurfaced, and shops and offices call us for coatings and polished concrete that take daily foot traffic. If you want a floor with some depth to it in a finished garage or a living space, ask about metallic epoxy flooring.
Permits here go through the city's Building Division, which requires one for work that physically changes or adds structures on a property. The city's list doesn't spell out floor coatings, so before we schedule I check with the city for your address, and if your job needs a permit we take care of the application and plan the start date around it. Two licenses are worth checking on anyone you hire here, the state contractor license and a Pleasant Hill business license, which the city requires even of contractors who work out of an office in another city, the way we do from Concord.
The price moves mostly with the slab, meaning its size, how many cracks need repair, whether an old coating has to come off and which system you pick. The schedule turns on whether a permit is needed, how dry the slab is and how long the coating needs to cure. About 700 homes here sit in FEMA flood zones by the city's count, so if yours is one of them, moisture gets a closer look, and the city says improvements in the floodplain may need their own permit. It's a short run down I-680 from Concord, and it's the same slab work we do from Walnut Creek out to Bay Point. Your written estimate puts a figure on all of it.
Most failed floors I've looked at went wrong underneath, not in the coating. Before we pick anything, I look at cracks, old sealers, oil and moisture, because on clay ground a slab can move and push water up, and the coating has to suit that.
Epoxy, polyaspartic, polished concrete and overlays each fit different floors. I'll tell you why one suits your garage or basement better than the others, and if a smaller fix like crack repair and a sealer will do the job, I'll say so before you spend more.
I started this business in Concord in 2023. I come out to every job, write the estimate and work on site with our crew, and we're licensed and insured. Your satisfaction, guaranteed. Call (925) 536-0504 or use the form to tell us about your floor.
Your price comes from a written estimate after I've seen the floor, because the size of the garage, the cracks to fix, any old coating to strip and the system you choose all move it. A slab that needs heavy grinding or crack repair costs more than one that's sound, and a simple sealer or a plain coating costs less than a full flake or metallic floor.
The city's permit list doesn't name floor coatings, so the answer isn't settled until someone checks for your address. That's one of the first things I sort out, and if a permit is needed we handle the application. If you'd like to ask yourself, the city says to call the Building Division at (925) 671-5200 when you're unsure.
A contractor needs a state license when the job needs a building permit, uses any other workers or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials combined. That cutoff used to be $500, so a small job that once slipped under it may not anymore. A full floor done with a crew usually crosses that line, so ask for the license and check it with the Contractors State License Board.
Clear the garage out, so cars, shelving and anything stored on the floor are gone and we can grind the whole slab right to the edges. Grinding is loud, and the city allows construction work from 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekends, so we plan the noisy part inside those hours. You'll also keep cars off until the coating cures, and I'll tell you how long that is for the system we pick.
Usually it's the slab underneath, not the epoxy, most often moisture coming up through the concrete, an old sealer or oil the coating couldn't grip, or a surface that wasn't ground first. Clay ground like Pleasant Hill's adds to the moisture and cracking. That's why we grind and check the slab before choosing a coating, and why I'll show you what failed on your old floor before anything new goes down.
