Hawthorne homes, garages and shops we work on
Hawthorne is a busy, built-up city, and the floors we see there are mostly in older single-story houses with a garage on a concrete slab, apartment buildings with carports and laundry rooms, and the shops and warehouses along its main roads. We're based in West Hollywood and work across the cities around it in Los Angeles County, from Inglewood right next door to San Fernando up in the Valley, and the order of work is the same in each one, with the slab deciding the details.
Price comes down to the size of the floor, how much has to come off it before we start, and the system you pick, and the schedule turns on that prep, the coating's cure time and whether the space can be emptied. I come out first to look at the floor and plan the job, because on a slab that's held cars and oil for decades, the grinding and repair usually take more of the work than the coating does.
Why floor prep matters on Hawthorne properties
- Slabs poured on the ground can push moisture up, so I test before we coat, since coating over a damp slab is a common reason floors blister and peel.
- Garages here often double as a workshop, gym or storage room, so the floor has to take hot tires, rolling tool chests and dropped weights without chipping.
- Shops, warehouses and apartment buildings here can't shut down twice, so we plan the slow prep up front instead of fixing a peeling floor after you've reopened.
Floor and concrete services in Hawthorne
Epoxy Floor Coatings
A solid epoxy coat suits Hawthorne garages, laundry rooms and storage areas where you want a floor that wipes clean and covers an older, stained slab.
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
Hawthorne shops, warehouses and light industrial spaces get heavier epoxy systems from us, built for carts, forklifts, chemicals and the spills that come with daily work.
Garage Floor Coatings
A garage that's held cars and oil for decades needs grinding before anything goes on, so the flake coating bonds to clean concrete instead of old grime.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
Polyaspartic cures faster than epoxy, which helps when you can't leave a Hawthorne garage or storefront out of use for long, and it holds its color in sunlight.
Metallic Epoxy Flooring
Metallic epoxy gives a Hawthorne living room or showroom a swirled, glossy look, and it goes down over a slab we've ground flat so flaws don't show through.
Urethane Cement Flooring
Urethane cement is what we suggest for restaurant kitchens and food spaces in Hawthorne, because it handles hot washdowns, grease and steady moisture better than standard epoxy.
Polished Concrete Flooring
If your slab is sound, polishing it brings out the concrete itself for a low-upkeep floor in a Hawthorne home or shop with nothing on top to peel.
Stained Concrete Flooring
Staining adds color to a patio, entry or interior slab where you'd rather keep the look of concrete, and we seal it so the color wears better.
Terrazzo Flooring
Terrazzo makes sense for a lobby, entry or shop floor in Hawthorne that sees heavy foot traffic and should look good for years with simple care.
Basement Flooring
Where a Hawthorne house or building has a basement or below-grade room, we test the slab for moisture first and pick a floor that suits what we find.
Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation
Grinding decides whether a coating lasts, because it opens up the concrete and takes off old sealer, glue and stains so the new layer can bond.
Concrete Sealing
A sealer helps a Hawthorne driveway, patio or bare garage slab resist oil and water stains when you don't need or want a full coating.
Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays
When an older slab is pitted, patched or flaking but still solid underneath, an overlay gives it a fresh surface without tearing out and repouring the concrete.
Self-Leveling Concrete & Overlays
Self-leveling compound pours on and settles flat by itself, so we use it to fill dips and uneven spots before a coating or other floor goes down.
Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
Pool decks at Hawthorne houses and apartment buildings take sun, chlorine and splashing water, so we resurface or coat them with a textured finish for better footing.
Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal
We strip peeling epoxy, paint and old tile glue off Hawthorne slabs first, because a new floor only holds as well as the surface it's bonded to.

(213) 329-1493Hawthorne flooring permits, costs and slab questions
How much does a new garage or concrete floor cost in Hawthorne, CA?
We price each Hawthorne floor after I've seen it, because the slab's condition and the finish you choose move the cost more than square footage alone. Grinding off old paint or a failed coating, filling cracks and handling moisture all add work, while a solid-color epoxy usually costs less than a flake, metallic or polished finish. Call (213) 329-1493 and I'll come out to look.
Who handles building permits in Hawthorne, CA?
The city's Department of Building and Safety processes permits and plans for construction in Hawthorne and enforces the federal, state and local construction laws that apply. We're licensed and insured, we check whether your floor job needs a permit during the estimate, and when one is needed, we handle the application and the city's paperwork for you. If you'd like to ask the department yourself, call (310) 349-2990, Monday through Thursday, since the office is closed on Fridays.
Can I apply for a building permit online in Hawthorne?
Yes, the city's Citizen Self Service portal is where you apply for permits or plans, check a record's status and review plan submittals. Submitted plans go through plan check, the department's review for building, plumbing, electrical and mechanical code compliance. When we're handling your permit, the filing is ours, but the portal still lets you see where it stands.
How do I schedule a building inspection in Hawthorne?
You book it online through the city's Citizen Self Service portal, which is how Hawthorne inspections are scheduled. If your permit was issued before July 2022, you have to call the office to schedule instead. The inspector checks the work on site against the approved plans and the codes that apply.
Does a Hawthorne business license inspection cover repairs to my new space?
No, the fees for a new location's Business License and Code Compliance Inspection cover only that inspection. If the Building Inspector lists corrections that need work on the building, you also pay permit and plan check fees, and an undated city page says that fee is based on the cost of the work. You can apply for the business license online under in-city commercial locations, and the city currently lists 2 to 5 business days to process it.
How do I know if my Hawthorne garage slab is ready for an epoxy coating?
You usually can't tell by looking, so I test the slab and check for old sealer, paint and oil before we pick a system. A slab that beads water or has a shiny old coat on it needs grinding first, and one that tests damp needs a moisture plan before any coating goes down. Once the testing's done, I'll walk you through the prep in the order we'll do it.
