One metallic color over one base
This suits a garage or a room where you want depth and movement without a busy pattern. With fewer colors to blend on the floor, there's less to manage while the coat is wet, which usually keeps the labor down.
Metallic epoxy flooring in Concord, CA - a glossy floor built on a clean, flat slab
Tired of a plain gray garage or a floor with peeling paint? We grind the slab clean and lay a metallic floor with real depth.
What goes into a metallic epoxy floor in Concord?
Metallic epoxy flooring in Concord is a coating built in layers on your concrete: a ground and tested slab, a primer, a metallic base coat with pigments worked into a pattern, and a clear topcoat that protects it. The finished floor has a deep, swirled look. The work spans a few days because each layer has to cure before the next one goes on.
Most people who call about metallic have a plain or stained garage, a basement slab or a room they want to finish with something better than paint, and they've seen photos of those deep, moving floors. The price moves with the size of the floor, how involved the design is, how many pigment colors go into it, how much repair the concrete needs and whether an old coating needs stripping and removal first. The schedule turns on those same things, plus the cure time between coats. I come out, look at the floor, check what's on it and how it's holding up, and give you a written estimate with the reasons behind it, so you see your own figure and why.
Why Concord homeowners call Concord Precision Epoxy Flooring for metallic floors
The owner sees your floor and works on it
I come out to look at every job, and I write the estimate myself. When the work starts, I'm on site with our crew, so the person who explained your floor is the one checking the grind before the primer goes down.
In business in Concord since 2023
I started this business in Concord in 2023 after working summers on flooring and concrete crews all through school. Grinding slabs and mixing coatings is where I got hooked on why some floors hold up and others peel, and that question still shapes how we work.
Licensed and insured for your job
We're licensed and insured, and I'm glad to go over that when I'm out at your place. Ask the same of anyone else you're comparing, because a metallic floor goes on once and whoever grinds your slab should be covered while they do it.

Metallic epoxy flooring in Concord: permits and licenses
The city's Building Division handles permits in Concord, and its Project Pal tool shows which permits a project requires and estimates the fees, so you can check your own job there or call the Building Division at 925-671-3107, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. Either way, before we schedule we check with the city or county office that covers your address, and if the work needs a permit, we take care of the application and plan the job around it. On the license side, the state's C-15 flooring classification covers contractors who prepare surfaces and install flooring, so it's worth looking up anyone you're considering with the state licensing board.
We're based in Concord and work in the cities around it, from Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill out to Antioch and over to Vallejo, and if your city isn't listed, just ask. Around here, metallic mostly goes into attached garages and the odd basement or bonus room, often on slabs that already carry oil stains, old paint or a patch or two, so the first visit is about what the concrete is doing before we talk colors.
Questions people ask about metallic epoxy floors
How much does metallic epoxy flooring cost in Concord, CA?
Professionally installed metallic epoxy flooring in California usually costs about $10 to $15 per square foot. That's the going range for the full installed system, not our price, and where your floor lands depends on the slab and the design you choose. The written estimate gives you the figure for your floor.
Can metallic epoxy go over my painted or sealed garage floor?
No, old paint, sealer or coating has to come off completely first. One cost guide treats diamond grinding as the minimum prep for metallic and says old coatings must be fully removed, because anything left under the new floor can let go and take it with it. If your floor is painted, removal is the first step of the job.
How long does it take to install a metallic epoxy garage floor?
For a standard garage, one cost guide counts 12 to 17 hours of labor spread over 2 to 3 days. Removing an old coating, repairing the concrete or a more involved design adds to that, since each step has to be done before the next coat goes on. We'll go over the schedule for your floor so you can plan where the cars will park.
Does the base color change how a metallic epoxy floor looks?
Yes, a lot. In one maker's system the metallic coat is translucent, so a white or light base gives a lighter floor and a black or darker base darkens the metallic look. That's why you choose the base color first, and it's what our sample is for.
What is the best topcoat for a metallic epoxy garage floor?
One cost guide recommends a polyaspartic topcoat for any space that gets the sun's UV light, which it says includes every garage. The same guide says an epoxy clear coat yellows within one summer of sun through the garage door, and polyurethane costs less but cures slower and resists wear slightly less. We also install polyaspartic floor coatings, so we can walk you through the trade-off.
What causes a metallic epoxy floor to peel or bubble?
Most failed floors I've looked at went wrong because of what was under them, usually poor prep or moisture in the slab, not the coating itself. When a slab's humidity test comes back over the flooring's limits, the cause can lie outside the slab, in poor grading, inadequate drainage, gutters, or missing vapor barriers and sealants. That's why we test the slab and ask about drainage before anything goes on.
Will installing metallic epoxy make dust or fumes in my house?
Yes, grinding makes a lot of dust and the coatings give off vapor, so both have to be handled. Diamond grinding needs a capable dust collector, which is a fair question for any installer, and one maker warns that breathing its products' vapor can cause headache, nausea and irritation of the nose, throat and lungs, and strongly recommends respirators. We run our grinders with dust collection, and it's best to keep family and pets out of the space while we work.
