Flooring Contractor in Concord, CA - garage and shop floors done from the slab up
Pittsburg Epoxy Floors and Concrete is a flooring contractor working in Concord, CA. We coat, polish and repair concrete floors, from home garages and pool decks to shop and warehouse floors.
Concord garages, shops and the slabs under them
Concord is one of the bigger cities we work in, and the calls we get from it cover a lot of ground. Most come from homeowners with a garage slab that's stained, cracked or wearing a store-bought coating that's starting to peel. Plenty come from shops and warehouses whose floors take forklifts, carts and spills every day. We're based in Pittsburg, so Concord is close by for us, the same as Bay Point and Clayton.
The price on a Concord floor mostly comes down to the slab. It depends on how big the slab is, whether old paint or sealer has to come off, how many cracks need filling and whether moisture is coming up through it. The system you pick matters too. The schedule turns on that same prep and on how long your coating needs before you can walk or park on it. You'll get your own figure in the written estimate after I've looked at the floor, because on these houses and shops the concrete underneath decides more than the product on top.
Why Concord slabs need careful prep
Most of what we're called out for in Concord is a garage or shop slab that's had years of cars, oil and patch jobs on it. These are the things we look for before anything goes down.
Garage slabs take hot tires, oil drips and dragged tools, so a thin coating from a box usually lifts first where the tires sit.
Older slabs often carry paint, sealer or glue from past owners, and it has to be ground off before a new coat will bond.
A slab that pulls moisture up from the ground can push a coating off from underneath, so we take readings where they're needed.
Cracks, chips and low spots show right through a new finish, so we fill and level them first instead of coating over them.
That's why I come out and look at your floor myself, take readings where they're needed and write the estimate around what your slab can actually handle.

Concrete floor work we do in Concord
Epoxy Floor Coatings
A solid epoxy coat suits a Concord garage or laundry slab that's worn and dusty, as long as we've ground it clean and checked it for moisture first.
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
For shops, warehouses and small plants in Concord, we put down thicker epoxy systems meant for forklift traffic, rolling carts and chemical spills that eat through thin coatings.
Garage Floor Coatings
Most Concord calls are garages, and we grind the slab, fix the cracks and lay a flake or solid coating made for hot tires and oil drips.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
Polyaspartic cures much faster than epoxy, which helps when you need the garage back soon, though it gives us less working time, so prep has to be right.
Metallic Epoxy Flooring
Metallic epoxy gives a living room, studio or showroom floor a swirled, glossy look, and since it shows every flaw underneath, we level the slab first.
Urethane Cement Flooring
Urethane cement is what we suggest for commercial kitchens, breweries and wash-down areas in Concord, where hot water, heat and harsh cleaners break down ordinary epoxy.
Polished Concrete Flooring
Polished concrete works for shops, offices and homes with a sound slab, since we grind the concrete itself instead of laying a coating that can peel.
Stained Concrete Flooring
Stain adds color to a patio, interior slab or shop floor without covering the concrete itself, and we seal it afterward so it handles foot traffic.
Terrazzo Flooring
Terrazzo suits lobbies, offices and entryways in Concord that need a hard, decorative floor, and since it's a bigger job, we talk through the layout and budget early.
Basement Flooring
A below-grade room or a converted lower level needs a floor that handles damp, so we test the slab for moisture before choosing a coating or overlay.
Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation
Grinding is where most of our time goes, because it opens up the surface and removes old sealer so whatever comes next bonds to the concrete.
Concrete Sealing
A clear sealer helps a Concord driveway, patio or shop floor resist oil and water stains, and it's the right call when the concrete is still sound.
Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays
When a patio, walkway or garage slab is pitted or scaled but still solid underneath, an overlay gives it a new surface without tearing it out.
Self-Leveling Concrete & Overlays
Self-leveling concrete fills dips and uneven spots in an interior slab, so tile, wood, vinyl or a coating has a flat surface to go down on.
Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
Pool decks in Concord backyards take bare feet, pool chemicals and constant splash water, so we resurface them with a textured coating that gives wet feet better grip.
Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal
Before a new floor goes in, we strip old epoxy, paint, carpet glue or tile mortar from the slab, the step most failed floors we see skipped.

Why Concord owners call us for concrete floors
I sold floor coatings for years before I installed them, and I kept hearing why floors failed. It was mostly bad prep and damp slabs, so that's where we put our effort.
I read the slab myself
I come out to look at the job myself, take moisture readings where they're needed and tell you plainly what your floor can handle, even if that means a different system than you had in mind.
Our own installers, me at prep
Prep is where most floors go wrong, so I'm on the job for the grinding and repairs. Our own installers handle the coats after that, and I check in through the rest.
Licensed, insured, working since 2017
We've been at this since 2017, we're licensed and fully insured, and the work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. If you want a straight answer about your floor, call (925) 318-8041.
Concord floor questions we hear most
Do I need a permit for an epoxy garage floor in Concord, CA?
The city's own list doesn't settle it, so it's worth asking before work starts. Concord's list of work needing a permit for single-family homes and duplexes names jobs like roofs, water heaters, windows and air conditioning, and it isn't a complete list. The City of Concord Permit Center is where to check what your project needs. A job that moves soil or reaches into the public strip along the street also needs separate grading or encroachment permits from the city's Engineering Division. We check with the city for your address before we start, and if the job needs a permit we pull it and handle the paperwork.
Does a contractor based outside Concord need a Concord business license?
Yes. The city requires a business license to do business in Concord, and that includes state-licensed contractors and businesses whose office is outside the city. It applies to any flooring contractor coming in from Pittsburg, Antioch or anywhere else, so it's a fair thing to ask whoever you hire.
When does a flooring contractor need a California contractor's license?
A contractor needs a state license from the Contractors State License Board when labor and materials on one or more contracts for the project total $1,000 or more. The license is also required when the project needs a building permit or the contractor uses other workers. Most coated or polished floors take real equipment and a crew, so ask to see the license on any bid you get.
How much does an epoxy garage floor cost in Concord?
There's no honest single number, because the price on a Concord garage floor depends on what your slab needs before the first coat. A clean, sound slab costs less to prep than one with layers of old paint, oil soaked in or a long crack running across it. Choosing flake epoxy, polyaspartic or metallic also changes the price. That's why I give you a written estimate after seeing the floor instead of a number over the phone.
How do I check if my Concord home is in an earthquake hazard zone?
Type your address into EQ Zapp, the California Geological Survey's statewide map, and it shows whether the property sits in any of its mapped earthquake hazard zones. That's more a question about the house and the ground than the floor coating. On our end, we look closely at cracks in the slab before coating, because a crack that's still moving will show back through a new finish.
What is the best way to choose between epoxy and polished concrete for a Concord shop floor?
Go with polished concrete if the slab is sound and you mostly need a hard, low-upkeep surface. Go with a coating if the floor sees spills, chemicals or stains you want sealed out. Polishing works the concrete itself, so there's nothing to peel, but it won't hide cracks or patches. A coating covers more flaws and holds up to oil better, and for hot or wash-down areas I'd steer you toward urethane cement instead.
