A glossy gray-and-black flake-coated garage floor extends to the walls, with matching coating on the low wall curb.

What does a garage floor coating in Concord actually involve?

A garage floor coating in Concord means we prepare your concrete and then put down an epoxy coating, which turns bare, dusty concrete into a sealed floor you can sweep and mop.

Most people call us because the concrete is shedding dust, stained from oil drips or starting to crack, and they want a floor that cleans up. The price moves with the size of the garage, how much work the slab needs before anything goes on it, such as grinding, crack repair or taking up old paint, and the coating system and finish you pick. The schedule turns on the same slab, because a moisture test result, extra repairs and the time the coats need before you can drive on them all change it. If the slab is too far gone for a coating, concrete resurfacing is sometimes the better first step. Your own figure comes in a written estimate with the reasons behind it.

How we put down a garage floor coating

I start by looking at the floor in person, checking for oil soaked into the concrete, flaking, cracks and old paint, because some garage slabs aren't good candidates and I'd rather tell you that than coat over a problem. If yours is a fit, we test the slab for moisture, grind the surface to open up the concrete so the coating can grab it, fill the cracks and clean up the dust. Then we roll on the epoxy, broadcast flake or grit if you've chosen it, and finish with a clear topcoat, and I'll explain why we picked that system for your garage. We plan the coats around when the cars can come back in, so you know that going in.

Some garages call for a different top layer or a different look. If your garage door stays open to the afternoon sun or the floor takes a beating from tools, we'll talk about polyaspartic floor coatings over the epoxy, since they usually hold their color better in sunlight and resist scratches. If you'd rather have a glossy, swirled finish than flakes, metallic epoxy flooring works in a garage too, though it shows dust and tire marks more than a flake floor does.

Solid color epoxy

This suits a garage that's mostly for parking, where you want an even color that's easy to mop. It's the simpler finish, but it shows dust, footprints and small scratches more than a broken-up pattern does.

Epoxy with color flake and a clear topcoat

This suits a garage that's also a workshop, gym or storage room, because the flake breaks up the surface so dirt and small chips don't stand out. It adds a step and a topcoat, which we build into the schedule from the start.

Garage floor coatings in Concord and the cities around it

If your project isn't on the city's permit list, Concord's Building Division asks you to call it at (925) 671-3107, and the work has to meet the city's construction codes and development standards whether or not a permit is required. Before we schedule, we check with the city or county office that covers your address, and if your garage floor needs a permit, we take care of the application and plan the job around it.

Grinding throws fine dust and rinse water off a garage floor can carry oil, so we keep both out of the driveway and the street, because Contra Costa County notes that water going into storm drains reaches creeks, the bays and the Delta without treatment. Around here we see a lot of garages doing double duty as workshops and storage, with oil drips where the cars park and older slabs that have cracked over the years. We do the same work in Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill, out to Antioch and over to Vallejo, and if your city isn't listed, just ask.

Garage floor coating questions we hear in Concord

How much does an epoxy garage floor cost in the Bay Area?

Epoxy garage floor coating in the Bay Area usually runs about $7 to $10 per square foot, counting materials, floor prep and application. That's a Bay Area-wide figure, not our price, and where your floor lands depends on its size, how much prep the slab needs and the system you pick. I'll put your number in writing after I see the floor.

How do I know if my garage floor is a good fit for a coating?

Your floor may not be a fit if oil has soaked deep into the slab, if it holds a lot of moisture, or if the surface is flaking off or heavily cracked. The slab's condition decides whether a coating is the right call, so I check that first and tell you plainly if yours isn't a candidate. If the floor was painted before, say so, because scraping or sanding old paint can release lead dust, and I'll walk you through how we'd handle it.

How long will I be without my garage while the floor gets coated?

One coating maker says its system takes 3 to 5 days to install in a typical 2-car garage, so plan on parking and storing things somewhere else for about that long. Your floor's prep, repairs and the system we use can change that, and we plan the coats so you know before we start when the cars can come back in.

Do I need a moisture test before coating my garage floor in Concord?

Yes, and we test, because one coating maker strongly recommends a moisture test on every job and says skipping it can lead to the epoxy failing. Moisture coming up through a slab is something I can't judge by looking, so when you compare estimates, ask whether the test is included.

What causes a garage epoxy coating to peel or crack?

Peeling, surface staining and cracking are among the common ways garage epoxy fails, according to one coating company. Most failed floors I've looked at went wrong because of what was under the coating, and that company requires grinding or acid etching to open the concrete's pores so its epoxy bonds. Ask any contractor, us included, how their system guards against each of those.

Is an epoxy garage floor slippery?

It can be, since epoxy coatings can get slick, but granular material can be added to the coating so your feet have more grip. If the floor sees wet tires or kids running through, ask for it at the estimate and we'll build it into the coats.
