Garage epoxy flooring in Sonoma Heights

Garages here were poured inside one narrow window and finished the same way, so the surface is consistent from street to street. What is not consistent is the bay count, or what a previous owner rolled onto the concrete some winter in between.

Removal is quoted as its own line with its own range. Nothing about the price gets settled in your driveway on install day.

Tell us about the garage.

A bay count and the rough age of the house covers most of it. If anything has been applied to the floor before, say what it is and whether it is lifting near the door.

A car count or a square-foot figure both work.

Slab age, cracks, a coating that is peeling, the step down from the house, timing.

How it works

What our garage epoxy flooring process looks like in Sonoma Heights

The slab age is a known quantity before anyone arrives, so the sequence spends its effort on the two things that actually vary: how many bays, and what is stuck to them.

  1. Send the bay count

    One bay, two, or a double with a workbench along one wall. That sets the area, and the area sets the material. Photographs of the floor near the door tell us more than the far corner does, because that is where meltwater and salt land.

  2. Test grind on site

    A small patch gets opened with the machine that will do the whole floor. On a power-troweled slab of this age that patch answers two questions at once: how much passes it takes to get a profile, and whether anything previously applied comes away cleanly.

  3. Flake board and build

    You see the flake blend on a board rather than a screen, and the quote names the primer, the base coat, the broadcast rate and the topcoat chemistry. The build is chosen for the bay, not carried over from the last job.

  4. Install and parking date

    Grind, repair, prime, base, broadcast, topcoat, in one sequence. You get three dates in writing at handover: walking on it, loading shelves against the wall, and putting the car back.

Two garages on the same street can be a full day apart in preparation. The difference is almost never the concrete itself here; it is whether the floor was left bare for twenty-five years or painted at some point in year six.

Why us

Why choose us for garage epoxy flooring in Sonoma Heights

A garage built in this window has a specific set of habits. Three of them shape how the floor gets quoted.

  • Closed surface

    Grinding here buys bond, not repair

    A power-troweled slab has been sealed shut by the trowel itself, and a primer will sit on top of that rather than key into it. The grinding on these floors exists to open the surface, which means it cannot be shortened because the concrete looks clean. It usually does look clean. That is the trap.

  • Mixed bays

    A single bay is quoted like any other floor

    Semi-detached and row housing sit alongside detached homes here, so single-car garages are common. There is no minimum size. The total is lower than a two-car quote and the rate per square foot is higher, because masking, setup and cleanup take the same time whatever the area.

  • Salt, twenty-five winters in

    Damage concentrates at the door

    Two decades of brine dripping off a car leaves its mark in a band inside the overhead door rather than across the whole floor. That band gets ground, repaired and detailed separately, because it is where a coating lifts first if it is treated as ordinary floor.

Questions we actually get

Sonoma Heights questions.

Is a 1990s slab in good enough shape to coat?
Almost always, and usually in better shape than the older Woodbridge stock. Concrete from this window has not had the decades of freeze-thaw that pit and spall a 1960s garage floor. The work goes into profiling a hard surface instead of repairing a tired one, which is a more predictable job to price.
There is a coating on my floor from years ago. Can you go over it?
No. A new build is only as sound as the layer beneath it, so anything already applied comes off completely by grinding. How long that takes depends on the product and how well it bonded, so it is quoted as a range until the machine is on the floor and we can see how it releases.
Flake or solid colour?
Flake, in nearly every garage here. A full broadcast hides surface variation, tyre marks and dust in a way solid colour cannot, and it gives grip underfoot when the floor is wet. Solid colour needs a flat, sound, unblemished slab to look right, and it puts every future repair on display.
How long before I can park on it?
Foot traffic, shelving and vehicles are three separate dates, and the gap between them depends on the chemistry that went down and the temperature it cured at. All three are written on the quote before you commit, rather than estimated on the day.
Do you cover the apron outside the door?
It is quoted separately when you want it, because an exterior slab is a different exposure: direct UV, standing water and a freeze-thaw cycle the garage floor never sees. It takes a different topcoat, and pretending otherwise is how an apron ends up amber and peeling in two seasons.
