01
Diamond Grinding to CSP-3
Concrete is diamond-ground to a 3000-grit profile (CSP-3) before primer goes down. Acid-etching shortcuts skip this step and skip the next 15 years of bond life.

Garage, shop, and showroom floors that won't peel
Sacramento's Trusted
Epoxy Flooring Contractor
Epoxy floors fail for one reason 90% of the time: the substrate wasn't prepared correctly. The concrete was too smooth, too damp, too contaminated with sealer, or too freshly poured. The epoxy bonds beautifully for the first six months, then sheets of it start lifting where moisture or oil migrated up from the slab. Done right, an epoxy floor lasts 15+ years and looks great every day of it. Done wrong, it peels.

About this service
Epoxy Flooring done right in Sacramento, CA
Epoxy floors fail for one reason 90% of the time: the substrate wasn't prepared correctly. The concrete was too smooth, too damp, too contaminated with sealer, or too freshly poured. The epoxy bonds beautifully for the first six months, then sheets of it start lifting where moisture or oil migrated up from the slab. Done right, an epoxy floor lasts 15+ years and looks great every day of it. Done wrong, it peels.
We do epoxy right. Concrete is diamond-ground to a 3000-grit profile (CSP-3) to give the epoxy real mechanical bite. Moisture is tested with a calcium chloride or RH probe before any product is mixed — if the slab is too wet, we apply a moisture-vapor barrier coat first. Old sealers and contamination are ground out, not just scrubbed. Then we apply a 100%-solids epoxy primer, a high-build epoxy or polyaspartic body coat, optional decorative flake or quartz, and a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat for chemical and abrasion resistance.
Standard packages run from a single-color industrial epoxy to multi-color decorative flake to metallic epoxy with a showroom finish. All systems are mechanically prepped, moisture-verified, and finished with a top-coat that won't yellow or chalk under UV. Garage, workshop, retail, and light-industrial floors are all in scope.
What's Included
Every epoxy flooring we build includes
These are the specifications and details we build in by default. Not upgrades. Not extras. Standard scope on every project.
02
Moisture Vapor Testing
Calcium chloride or in-situ relative humidity probe testing before any epoxy is mixed. Slabs over the threshold get a vapor-barrier primer first. Skipping this test is why most garage epoxy peels.
03
100% Solids Epoxy
Body coat is 100%-solids epoxy — no solvents to flash off and no shrinkage. Big-box DIY kits are water-based or solvent-thinned and put down a coating one-tenth the thickness.
04
Polyaspartic UV Topcoat
Final topcoat is UV-stable polyaspartic. Epoxy yellows under UV; polyaspartic doesn't. Doors-open garages, retail spaces with skylights, and showrooms keep their color.
05
Decorative Flake or Quartz
Optional decorative flake (single or multi-color) or quartz aggregate broadcast on the body coat for texture, grip, and visual interest. Hides minor substrate variations.
06
Same-Day or Next-Day Use
Polyaspartic-finished floors are walkable in 4 hours and vehicle-ready in 24. Pure epoxy systems are walkable in 24 hours and vehicle-ready in 7 days. We discuss timing before scheduling.
Our Process
How we deliver epoxy flooring
- 01
Inspect & Test
Inspect existing slab for cracks, oil contamination, prior coatings, and moisture issues. Moisture test conducted. Crack and joint plan determined.
- 02
Diamond Grind
Diamond grinders pass over the full slab to remove existing sealer, contamination, and create CSP-3 profile. Vacuum-shrouded grinders keep dust contained.
- 03
Repair & Prime
Cracks epoxy-injected, joints filled with semi-rigid joint filler, primer coat applied (with moisture-barrier primer if testing required).
- 04
Body Coat & Flake
100%-solids epoxy body coat applied. Decorative flake or quartz broadcast to refusal if selected. Surface left to cure 12–24 hours.
- 05
Topcoat & Walk-Off
UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat applied. Walkable in 4 hours, vehicles in 24 hours. Final walk-through and care instructions delivered.

Epoxy Flooring FAQ
Common questions
Specific to epoxy flooring in Sacramento, CA
Why does most garage epoxy peel?
Three causes, in order: (1) substrate not mechanically prepared (acid-etched or just degreased), (2) moisture vapor coming up through the slab that wasn't tested for, (3) DIY kit using water-based or solvent-thinned product instead of 100% solids. We address all three: diamond grind to CSP-3, moisture test before mixing, and only 100%-solids epoxy. That's why ours doesn't peel.
How long does an epoxy floor last?
15+ years for a properly installed three-coat system in a residential garage. Commercial floors with heavy traffic and chemical exposure are typically re-topcoated every 7–10 years; the primer and body coat last the life of the slab. Our warranty is 5 years on bond and 1 year on wear, with realistic life well beyond that.
Can you put epoxy on a new concrete slab?
Yes after the concrete has cured for at least 28 days. New slabs also need to be moisture-tested before coating because residual moisture from the cure can push concentration above the threshold for epoxy bond. We've had new slabs ready in 30 days and others (poured in winter, no curing compound) take 60+ days to dry to spec.
What's the difference between epoxy and polyaspartic?
Epoxy is the primer/body-coat workhorse — thick, hard, chemical-resistant, and bonded to the substrate. Polyaspartic is a fast-curing UV-stable aliphatic urethane used as a topcoat — won't yellow, cures in hours instead of days, and is harder than epoxy on the surface. Most quality systems use both: epoxy for body, polyaspartic for top.
How much does an epoxy garage floor cost?
Standard 2-car residential garage (about 400 sq ft): $1,800–$3,500 for a full diamond-grind, three-coat polyaspartic-top system with decorative flake. Larger garages and commercial floors scale roughly with square footage. Per-square-foot pricing is $5–$10 for residential, $4–$8 for larger commercial slabs.
