Is your concrete floor ready for an epoxy coating?
An epoxy floor coating in West Hollywood, CA is a polymer coating our crew applies over a cleaned and prepared concrete floor, usually in a garage, basement or work space, so you end up with a hard surface that's easy to sweep and mop.
Most people call us when a garage floor is stained with oil, a basement slab keeps dusting, or a basement flooring project needs something tougher than bare concrete. The price mostly turns on the floor's size, how much old sealer, paint or damage has to come off, and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on the slab itself, because a newer floor may need time to dry out before anything goes on it. I'll tell you which of those applies to your floor when I see it, and the written estimate lists each step in order.
How we do an epoxy floor coating, in order
First we find out what's already on the floor, because epoxy is only as good as what's under it, and it won't hold onto old sealer, paint or grime. Then we grind the surface so the concrete is clean and open, repair the cracks and chips that would show through, and on a newer slab we check the moisture before anything else and wait if it isn't ready. Only after that does the coating go down, coat by coat, and our crew finishes with the cleanup.
Solid color coating
This suits basements, laundry rooms and workshops where you want a plain, even floor that wipes clean. It's the simplest system, so most of the cost goes into the prep.
Flake finish
Colored flakes are spread into the wet coating, which suits garages because the pattern hides dust and small marks between cleanings. It also gives the surface a little texture underfoot.
Metallic finish
Metallic pigments move in the coating to make a swirled, stone-like look, so it suits living areas, studios and showrooms more than a working garage. It takes more care to lay, which shows up in the price.

What happens after you call about an epoxy floor in West Hollywood?
Here's how a job runs with us, from the first call to the last sweep, and who handles each part, so you know what's coming before it happens on your floor.
Call or send a message
You call (213) 329-1493 or use the form, and we set a time for me to come out to your property. Tell us what the space is used for now so I know what to look for.
I look at the slab
I check the concrete, measure and ask how you use the space, because a parked car, a home gym and a workshop each need something different. Then we send a written estimate that lists each step in order, so you can see where the money goes before you decide.
We schedule tests and waits
Once you say yes, we set the schedule with every test and wait built in, inside West Hollywood's construction hours of 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with only limited interior work on Saturdays and none on Sundays or city holidays. Work outside those hours can bring a stop-work order, so we plan around them from the start.
Our crew preps, coats, cleans
Our own crew does the prep, the coating and the cleanup, and I tell you before each stage what's happening on your floor and why. If something turns up once the old surface is off, you hear about it before we go further.

(213) 329-1493Epoxy floor coatings in West Hollywood and the permit question
West Hollywood's building code calls for a permit from the city's building official before anyone alters, repairs, improves or equips a building or part of one, and whether that reaches your floor coating isn't something I'll guess at over the phone. We check it during the estimate, and when a permit is needed, we handle the application and the city's paperwork, including the state license number, workers' comp certificate and business tax certificate the city asks for at a permit appointment. On commercial property the city requires a licensed contractor for the permit, and we're licensed and insured. If you'd like to check anything yourself, the city's Building and Safety office is the place to ask.
We're based in West Hollywood and work across the cities around it in Los Angeles County. A lot of what we see here is older garage and basement slabs carrying paint or sealer from years back, and condo garages and shops where the work has to fit around neighbors and business hours, and we meet the same floors on jobs in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica.
Epoxy floor questions from West Hollywood homeowners
How much does an epoxy floor cost in the Los Angeles area?
Epoxy floor coating in the Los Angeles area usually runs about $6 to $9 per square foot, according to a regional cost guide, and that covers materials, preparing the floor and applying the coating. Where your floor lands depends mostly on how much prep it needs and the finish you choose, and our written estimate breaks that out step by step. Our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
How long does new concrete need to cure before an epoxy coating?
Concrete is usually given 28 days to cure, but that isn't always long enough for the moisture to leave, so a new slab may need a longer wait. Moisture trapped under epoxy can discolor it, interrupt its curing and make it peel away from the slab, which is why we test a newer floor instead of going by the calendar.
How do I tell if my concrete floor already has a sealer on it?
Pour a little water on it, and if the water beads up into droplets, the floor may already have a sealer or paint. A coating maker's prep guide says that layer has to come off by diamond grinding, shot blasting or another mechanical method before coating, so if it's there, I'll account for it in the estimate.
Is an epoxy garage floor slippery?
Epoxy can be slippery, and a granular material can be added to the coating to make it less slick. If the floor sees water, pets or anyone unsteady on their feet, ask for it at the estimate so it's part of the plan from the start.
How do I keep the air safe while an epoxy floor cures?
Get as much fresh air into the space as you can, because health guidance says some epoxy components can be hazardous before they cure, while cured epoxy is usually safer to handle. That guidance advises increasing ventilation as much as possible, so we'll talk through doors, windows and airflow for your space before the coating goes down.
Does grinding concrete for an epoxy floor make a lot of dust?
Yes, grinding concrete with diamond tools makes a lot of dust, and a flooring maker's prep guide says a capable dust collector has to be used during that step. It's a fair question to ask any contractor you're comparing, and I'll walk you through how the grinding works in your space before it starts.
