Epoxy Floor Coatings
Full epoxy systems for garages, shops and utility rooms, laid over a slab we've ground and cleaned first, so the coating grips concrete instead of old dirt and oil.

How floor jobs go in Prunedale
Prunedale is one of the unincorporated communities in North County, so there's no city hall here and the County of Monterey is your local government. When a floor job might need a permit, we check with the county building office before we start, and if one's needed we take care of the paperwork with you.
Out here the lots run bigger and hillier than on the peninsula, and a lot of the floors we get called about are detached garages, shops and barns at the end of a long dirt or gravel drive. Most of the county's rain falls from October through April, with little to none in summer, so we like to book patios and pool decks for the dry months, and I test garage and basement slabs for moisture any time of year. Where a backyard runs up against scrub and chaparral on a hillside, dust and leaves blow in easily, so we keep the space closed up and clean while a coat cures. We're based in Monterey and do the same work up the road in Castroville, Salinas and Watsonville.
The price mostly comes down to the size of the floor, how much prep the slab needs and which system fits how you use it, since grinding off an old sealer or fixing cracks takes real time. The schedule turns on that same prep, the weather for anything outdoors and how long the coating has to cure before you park on it. I come out, measure and test the slab, and you get the estimate in writing.
Prep before the first coat
Most floors that peel or bubble were rushed before the first coat went down, so we grind, clean and repair the slab first, even when that's the slowest part of the job.
My lead installer runs it
I started this business in 2013, and today our crew does the work with my lead installer running each job while I stop by to check in, so nothing gets lost between the quote and the floor.
Straight talk on options
If a clear sealer or a polished slab suits your shop better than a full coating system, I'll tell you, because you should pay for what the floor actually needs.
Floor and concrete work we do in Prunedale
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
Heavier coating builds for ag shops, equipment barns and small businesses along the North County roads, where forklifts, tractors and spilled fluids would chew through a garage-grade floor.
Garage Floor Coatings
Attached and detached garages get a flake or solid-color coating that wipes clean, which helps when dirt and gravel from a long driveway get tracked in every day.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
A faster-curing coating that holds its color in sun through an open garage door, so you're back on the floor sooner, though it sets fast and needs a practiced crew.
Metallic Epoxy Flooring
A poured epoxy with swirled metallic color for a game room, home gym or converted outbuilding, where you want the floor to be the thing people notice first.
Urethane Cement Flooring
A tough, thick system for floors that see hot water, washdowns or big temperature swings, like a processing room, commercial kitchen or wash bay, where regular epoxy can soften or crack.
Polished Concrete Flooring
We grind and polish the slab itself to a sheen, which suits a shop or living space on a sound slab and skips coating altogether, so there's nothing to peel later.
Stained Concrete Flooring
Acid or water-based stain gives a patio, porch or interior slab warm, mottled color, and we seal it afterward because stain colors concrete but doesn't protect it.
Terrazzo Flooring
Poured terrazzo with chips set in a resin base and ground smooth, for an entry or main room where you want a hard-wearing floor and don't mind a bigger project.
Basement Flooring
Basement slabs sit against the ground, so I test for moisture before picking a system, because a coating laid over a damp slab is the one that bubbles and lifts.
Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation
Diamond grinding opens up the concrete and takes off old sealer, paint and oil so the next coat can bite, and it's the step most peeling floors were rushed through.
Concrete Sealing
A clear sealer for driveways, patios and shop floors, often the simpler answer when the slab is sound and you mostly want it to shed stains and water.
Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays
A thin cement overlay over worn, pitted or patched concrete gives a tired patio or garage a fresh surface without tearing out a slab that's still solid underneath.
Self-Leveling Concrete & Overlays
Self-leveling underlayment flows out to flatten a sloped or wavy slab, which matters in older outbuildings and garage conversions before tile, vinyl or a coating goes on top.
Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
Textured coatings and resurfacing for pool decks and patios that give grip when wet, with cracks repaired first so they don't show back through the new surface.
Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal
We take off failing epoxy, old paint, carpet glue and tile mastic, because a new floor laid over a bad one only lasts as long as the layer under it.

Prunedale floor questions we hear
Straight answers to what Prunedale homeowners ask us about hiring a floor contractor and working under county rules.
Does my floor project in Prunedale need a licensed contractor?
In most cases, yes. California's contractors board requires a license to alter a structure when the project needs a building permit, uses employee labor, or runs $1,000 or more in labor and materials across one or more contracts. Smaller jobs with no permit and no employees may be exempt, but a bigger job can't be broken into pieces to get under that line.
How much can a contractor ask for up front on a home project in California?
The state contractors board caps a down payment at $1,000 or 10 percent of the total contract price, whichever is less, on home improvement jobs. Every other payment has to be listed clearly in the contract and tied to work finished or materials delivered, so you aren't paying well ahead of what's actually been done.
Can an open code violation hold up a county permit in Prunedale?
It can under the County of Monterey's proposed building code text, which halts permits and other approvals on a property once the enforcing officer reports a violation and an application is pending. Permits needed to fix that violation are the exception. If there's an open issue on your property, mention it at the estimate so we can check with the county before scheduling.
