Urethane Cement Flooring in Walnut Creek CA - a sealed floor built for hard daily use
Old coating peeling or bare concrete soaking up spills? We lay urethane cement over your slab for a hard, sealed surface that wipes clean.
Is urethane cement the right floor for your concrete?
Urethane cement flooring in Walnut Creek, CA, is a hard, sealed layer we lay over your concrete, so grease, water and dirt stay on the surface and clean up instead of soaking into the slab.
Most of these calls come from owners whose floor takes a beating every day, like a commercial kitchen that gets mopped every night, a back room stacked with product or a walkway that turns slick when it's wet. At Walnut Creek Truefinish Epoxy Floors, I look at the slab before I talk about any new floor, because old coatings, cracks and moisture decide what will hold. We're fully licensed and insured.
The price moves with the size of the floor, how much has to come off before we start, how many cracks and joints need work, and which method and thickness each area calls for. The schedule turns on that same prep, on how long the floor has to cure before you reopen and, for food or pool sites, on whether your county approval is in hand. Your written estimate puts the number for your own floor on paper.
- Fits commercial kitchens, food plants, storage rooms and walkways that see water, spills and steady traffic.
- Cracks and moving joints in the slab show through the new floor, so we deal with them first.
- We grind with a dust collector running, because diamond grinding throws a lot of fine dust.
What happens after you call about urethane cement flooring?
I come out to every job myself, and our trained installers do the work with me on site. Here's how it goes from your first call to the finished floor.
Call or send a message
Call (925) 433-7858 or use the form, and tell us the floor size, any coating on it now, any cracks or damp spots, and how the room is used. If it's a food or pool site, let us know where you are with county plan review.
I come look at your slab
I check the concrete for moisture, old coatings and cracks, and walk you through what I see. Then we talk about which method fits each part of the space.
You get a written estimate
The price is on paper before anything starts, so you can compare it with anyone else you talk to. Ask me anything about it before you decide.
We prep, lay and walk it
Once you say yes, we prep the floor properly, lay it and go over the finished floor with you before we pack up. Walnut Creek requires an after-hours permit for construction on Saturdays and city holidays, so if weekend work would cut your downtime, plan for that permit early.

(925) 433-7858Questions about urethane cement floors in Walnut Creek
These are the questions owners ask most before choosing urethane cement. Where an answer leans on a maker's figures, they're for that maker's product, so we confirm what applies to your floor at the visit.
Will urethane cement flooring work on damp concrete?
Usually yes, if it's built thick enough. One maker's white paper says a slurry or mortar system a quarter inch or thicker is generally accepted to be unaffected by slab moisture when it's installed correctly, which makes it an option for older slabs and new ones still holding water. That only holds when the floor goes down at that thickness and to the maker's recommendations, so I check the slab for moisture before suggesting a method.
What is the best way to choose a urethane cement application method?
Choose by how each area gets used. One flooring contractor describes trowel-applied floors as heavy-duty with superior slip resistance, self-leveling as faster to install and slurry broadcast as economical with good grip, and matches them to production floors, storage zones and walkways in that order. One building can use more than one, matched area by area.
How long does urethane cement take before you can walk or drive on it?
For one maker's self-leveling product, it's 12 hours before foot traffic, 24 hours before vehicles and 7 days to full cure. That lets a business plan a short closure, with vehicle traffic waiting for the longer time. Other products have their own times, so we go over the ones for your floor before you set a reopening date.
Does a restaurant in Walnut Creek need county approval before putting in a new floor?
If the floor is part of building or remodeling a food or recreational health facility, Contra Costa Health's plan review covers it, and the county's examples include replacing or installing floors. The county also says no work may be done before plans are approved. If you run a restaurant, food plant, pool or spa, get that approval moving and build it into your schedule before the floor crew starts.
How do I keep a urethane cement floor looking good?
Keep grit off it and clean it often. One maker says walk-off mats inside and outside, plus frequent, thorough cleaning with a neutral pH cleaner, help increase floor life. The same maker says its floor isn't color stable unless a UV resistant top-coat is used, so if the color matters to you, ask us about that coat.
How much does urethane cement flooring cost in Walnut Creek?
We price it once I've seen the slab, because the floor's size, the prep and the method set most of the cost. Grinding off old coatings, repairing cracks, building a thicker system over a damp slab and adding a UV resistant top-coat all raise it, while a clean, sound slab and a simpler method keep it down. Call (925) 433-7858 to set up a visit.
