Metallic Epoxy Flooring in Walnut Creek CA - a deep, glossy finish over a smooth slab
Tired of a gray, stained slab? We grind it smooth and lay a metallic floor with color and depth that moves with the light.
Is a metallic epoxy floor right for my concrete slab?
Metallic epoxy flooring in Walnut Creek is a poured coating that turns a plain concrete slab into a glossy floor with swirls of color and real depth, a look people often compare to polished stone or liquid metal.
Most calls I get about metallic epoxy start with a garage, basement or shop floor that's gray, stained or patched, and an owner who wants it to look finished rather than just covered. If what you mostly need is a tough floor for cars and tools, our garage floor coatings may suit you better, and I'll tell you which one I'd pick for your space.
The price moves with the size of the floor, how much grinding and crack repair the slab needs, whether old paint or sealer has to come off, and which clear topcoat you choose. The schedule turns on that same prep and on the wait between coats, and a freshly poured slab adds time before we can start. You'll get your own figure in a written estimate after I've seen the floor.
- Four layers: a soaking primer, a colored base coat, the metallic epoxy and a clear topcoat.
- The clear top layer guards the metallic coat against sun, chemicals, wear and hot tires lifting it.
- It suits garages, basements, shops and showrooms where you want a floor that looks poured, not painted.

I look at your slab
I check the concrete for moisture, old coatings and cracks, then walk you through what I see and which options fit your room. You get a written estimate with your price before any work starts, so you can decide without guessing.
We prep and coat the floor
We grind, patch and lay each coat in order, giving each one time to set before the next goes down. Plan to keep the room or garage cleared and out of use until we're done.
We walk the floor together
When the last coat is down, I go over the finished floor with you before we pack up so you can ask me anything about it. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job.

(925) 433-7858Questions about metallic epoxy floors in Walnut Creek
These are the questions homeowners ask me most when they're weighing a metallic floor. If yours isn't here, ask it when I come out to look at the slab.
How much does metallic epoxy flooring cost in Walnut Creek?
A professional metallic epoxy install, with grinding, primer, base coat and topcoat, usually costs about $8 to $15 per square foot across the US, according to one national cost guide. That's the market's range, not our price, so your own number comes from the written estimate after I've seen the slab.
How long does a metallic epoxy garage floor take to install?
One cost guide puts a standard garage at 12 to 17 labor hours spread over 2 to 3 days. Plan to keep the garage cleared and out of use for that stretch, and I'll talk through timing for your floor when I come out.
Can metallic epoxy go over a painted concrete floor?
No, paint, sealer or an old coating has to come off completely before a metallic floor goes down. The new layers need a cleaner, smoother base than a flake floor does, which is why stripping off old coatings comes before any grinding or primer.
How long does new concrete need to cure before a metallic epoxy coating?
One coating maker's metallic floor guide says new concrete must cure for at least 28 days before it's coated. If your slab was just poured, plan the coating for after that wait, and we can set dates once it's passed.
How do I know if my slab is too damp for a metallic epoxy floor?
A moisture test tells you, and one coating maker advises testing concrete for high moisture vapor levels before the coating goes on. I check the slab for moisture when I come out, and whoever you talk to, it's fair to ask whether their quote includes that test.
What should I ask before hiring a metallic epoxy contractor in Walnut Creek?
Ask whether they're licensed and insured, what prep and topcoat the quote includes, and how they handle fumes in your house. One coating maker warns that breathing the vapor or mist can cause headache, nausea and irritation of the nose, throat and lungs, and strongly recommends respirators, so it's a fair thing to raise.
