Flooring Contractor in Martinez, CA - Coated and Polished Floors, Prepped Right
Pittsburg Epoxy Floors and Concrete is a flooring contractor that coats, polishes and resurfaces concrete floors in Martinez, CA, from home garages and pool decks to shop and warehouse floors, with the slab prepped first.
Martinez floors, from older garages to working shops
Martinez is just west of our base in Pittsburg, and the calls we get here range from homeowners with a tired garage floor to shop and warehouse owners who need concrete that can take a beating. Older houses sit close to downtown, newer neighborhoods spread out toward Pleasant Hill, and small businesses fill in between, so we see slabs of every age and every kind of use.
That mix of ages shapes the job more than anything else. An older slab here has usually been painted, sealed, patched or covered at some point, so before we talk about coatings, we figure out what the floor has been through, the same way we start jobs across the water in Benicia.
What Martinez slabs need before a new floor
Most of the floors we're called to in Martinez are garages, basements and work floors, and the slab under them decides what will last. Here's what we usually find when we get there.
Older garage slabs usually carry oil, old paint or sealer, and it all has to be ground off before a coating will stick.
A damp slab is the most common reason a coating lets go, so I take moisture readings where they're needed before we choose a product.
Cracks and chipped joints get filled and repaired first, because they show through a new coating and can keep opening under traffic.
Since January 1, 2026, permitted projects in Martinez must meet the 2025 California building codes, which counts when a floor is part of a remodel.
What your slab needs drives the price and how long the floor is out of use, so I come out, look at it myself and give you a written estimate.

Floor services we offer in Martinez
Epoxy Floor Coatings
A good fit for Martinez garages, laundry rooms and workshops where you want a sealed floor that wipes clean, as long as the slab is dry and sound.
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
For shops, warehouses and service bays in Martinez that see forklifts, carts or spilled fluids, we build a heavier coating system sized to the traffic the floor takes.
Garage Floor Coatings
Older Martinez garage slabs with oil stains and peeling paint are our most common call, and we grind them clean, fix the cracks and coat them.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
When you want the garage back in use sooner, a polyaspartic coating cures faster than standard epoxy and holds its color better in sunlight.
Metallic Epoxy Flooring
Metallic epoxy suits a living room, home office or showroom where you'd rather have a swirled, glossy finish on the concrete than cover it with tile or carpet.
Urethane Cement Flooring
For commercial kitchens, breweries and wash-down areas, urethane cement stands up to hot water, cleaners and temperature swings that can make ordinary epoxy crack and peel.
Polished Concrete Flooring
If your slab is in decent shape, we grind and polish the concrete itself into a hard, low-maintenance floor, which suits shops, offices and open living spaces.
Stained Concrete Flooring
Stain colors the concrete instead of covering it, so it suits patios, basements and indoor floors where you like the slab's natural marks showing through.
Terrazzo Flooring
Terrazzo, chips of marble or glass set in a poured base and ground smooth, suits lobbies, entries and showpiece floors that need to wear for years.
Basement Flooring
Basements are where a damp slab shows up first, so I check moisture before we choose a coating or sealer that can handle what's coming up through it.
Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation
Grinding opens up the concrete so a coating can grip, and it removes old paint, sealer and glue, which matters on Martinez slabs that have been covered before.
Concrete Sealing
A clear penetrating sealer helps keep oil, water and stains out of a driveway, patio or garage when you don't need a full coating but want it protected.
Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays
When a patio, walkway or garage floor is worn, flaking or patched, a thin overlay gives you a new surface without tearing out concrete that's still sound underneath.
Self-Leveling Concrete & Overlays
Older slabs that dip, slope or have uneven patches get a self-leveling layer, a pourable mix that flattens itself, before tile, vinyl, wood or a coating goes down.
Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
Pool decks that have cracked, faded or gotten slippery can be repaired and recoated with a textured surface that's easier on bare feet and less slick when wet.
Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal
If an old coating is peeling or tile glue and paint won't let go, we strip the floor to bare concrete so the next one can bond.

Why Martinez homeowners and shops hire us
Most floors that fail went wrong before the first coat, usually from bad prep or a damp slab. That's what we watch for on Martinez jobs, from the estimate through the final coat.
I look at your slab myself
I come out to look at your floor and give the estimate myself, ask a lot of questions about how it's used and take readings where they're needed, so what we recommend fits the slab you actually have.
Our installers, licensed and insured
Since 2017, our own installers have done the work, and we're licensed and fully insured. I'm on site for the prep, since that's where most floors go right or wrong, and I check in through the rest.
Straight answers, no sales pitch
I sold floor coatings for years before I installed them, so I'll tell you what your floor can and can't handle. Our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee, and you can call (925) 318-8041 to set up a visit.
Questions about floor work in Martinez
Do I need a building permit to coat or polish a concrete floor in Martinez, CA?
The city's Building Department decides that, and it issues building permits to homeowners and licensed contractors for work inside the Martinez city limits. We check with the city for your address before work starts, and if your job needs a permit, we pull it and handle the paperwork.
How do I apply for a building permit in Martinez?
Since September 1, 2026, new building permit applications in Martinez go through the city's online permit portal, whether the project is a home, a business or an industrial building. A paper application needs an exception from the Chief Building Official, and when we pull a permit for your floor, we do the filing.
When does a flooring contractor need a license in California?
A contractor needs a license from the California Contractors State License Board when a job needs a building permit, uses employees, or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials combined. The small-job exemption only covers work under $1,000 with no permit and no employees, and a bigger job can't be split up to fit under it. The City of Martinez also lists a business license requirement for contractors.
How much does an epoxy garage floor cost in Martinez?
The price of a garage floor coating in Martinez comes mostly from the slab's condition and the coating system you pick, more than the square footage alone. Grinding off old paint or sealer, repairing cracks and dealing with a damp slab all add work, and a multi-coat flake or polyaspartic system costs more than a single clear coat. Once I've looked at the floor and taken readings, you get a written estimate with your number.
What causes an epoxy garage floor to peel?
Most epoxy floors peel because of what happened before the first coat, usually a slab that wasn't ground clean or one with moisture coming up through it. Oil, old sealer and smooth troweled concrete keep the coating from gripping, and moisture pushes it off from below. That's why we grind before we coat and I take moisture readings where they're needed.
Does Martinez require construction waste recycling for a remodel?
Yes, on the projects it applies to, the city requires its web-based Green Halo System for construction and demolition waste. Within 30 days after construction ends, the applicant has to submit proof the project kept enough waste out of the landfill, or the entire diversion security deposit is lost. If your floor is part of a bigger permitted remodel, ask early whether your project is covered.
