Concrete,
done properly.

A standard two-car garage in flake typically runs in the low thousands. Metallic epoxy and large commercial floors run higher. We confirm a fixed price in writing after the walkthrough - no surprises on the day.

Most residential garages are ground, coated and done in one to two days. You can usually walk on it the next morning and park on it within three to five days, depending on the system and the weather.

Always. Diamond grinding is the difference between a coating that lasts a decade and one that peels in a season. Anyone quoting you an acid wash instead is quoting you a repair job two years out.

Fifteen years, in writing, on every floor we put down. It covers the bond and the finish - the two things that decide whether a floor is still worth looking at in a decade.

Our topcoats are UV stable and chemical resistant - hot tyres, road salt, brake fluid and oil all wipe up. The finish is rated for both residential and commercial traffic.

Walnut Creek, Danville, Alamo, San Ramon, Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga, Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore and Concord - plus commercial work across the wider Bay Area.

Flake and metallic are different finishes, not different grades. Flake is a broadcast system: coloured vinyl chips are thrown into a wet base coat until the floor is covered, then locked under a clear topcoat. The chip leaves texture, so the floor stays grippy when wet and hides dust and tyre marks. Metallic is a pigmented pour worked while it is still wet, so the pattern marbles and no two floors come out alike - a smooth, high-gloss finish. Flake is the safer choice for a working garage. Metallic is what people choose when the garage is part of the house.

Neither is better across the board; they fail in different directions. Polished concrete is your existing slab ground and densified rather than coated, so there is no film on top and nothing to peel, chip or delaminate - but it needs a slab worth polishing, and heavy cracking, patching or an old coating usually rules it out. Epoxy builds a new surface over the slab, so it can cover a tired floor and it can be any colour or pattern you want. Sound concrete and you want the lowest maintenance floor: polish it. Marked-up slab, or you want colour: coat it.

A properly prepared coating lasts a decade or more, and the preparation decides it rather than the product. What people describe as "the epoxy peeled" is almost always a bond failure on a slab that was acid washed instead of ground, so the coating never keyed into the concrete. We diamond grind every slab, and we warrant the bond and the finish for fifteen years in writing.

Yes. The slab has to be bare before grinding starts, so anything standing on the floor needs to move out - cars, shelving, freezers, gym equipment. Anything fixed to the wall can usually stay. If the garage is packed, say so at the walkthrough and we will work out the order with you.

Yes, and it is a common job. A failing coating has to come off before anything new goes down, which means grinding the old material back to clean concrete rather than coating over it. That adds time to the first day. It is worth finding out what caused the first failure, because a floor that lifted from slab moisture will do it again unless the concrete is tested and the right primer goes down.

Text or call (970) 980-4488, or answer four questions on the quote page and we will come back with a number. Either way there is a free walkthrough before anything is priced, and the price you agree is fixed in writing before work starts.
