Concrete Coatings in Mira Mesa, CA
David Paul Foster Co. applies and services coatings throughout Mira Mesa, across the planned residential grid between the canyons north of the city.
Coatings built for Mira Mesa homes.
Mira Mesa is a large planned community in northern San Diego, built out mostly from the 1970s onward on the mesa between canyons. The housing is consistent in age, which means the concrete is too — and it is all reaching the same point at the same time.
Because Mira Mesa was built out across a relatively narrow window, the concrete is a consistent age across whole streets, and the same jobs come up repeatedly: original driveways and patios that are structurally fine but have had forty-odd years of sun on the surface.
That is straightforward resurfacing work, and the consistency is helpful — we generally know what we are going to find under a Mira Mesa driveway before we lift a grinder.
What we run into in Mira Mesa
Sitting up on the mesa a few miles inland, it gets some marine influence without the salt load of a beachfront property. Moisture is worth checking on older slabs, but conditions here are moderate compared with either the coast proper or the inland valley.

Concrete Coatings in Mira Mesa, questions
Our driveway is original to a 1970s house. Replace or resurface?
Resurface, almost certainly. Concrete of that vintage in Mira Mesa is typically sound underneath — it has simply had forty years of sun on the surface. Keeping the slab, the footings and the drainage that already work and renewing the surface is far cheaper and much quicker.
Do the canyons or marine air affect anything up here?
Mildly. The mesa gets marine influence without the salt load a beachfront property takes, so conditions are fairly moderate. On older slabs we still check moisture before coating, but this is easier ground than either the coast or the inland valley.
Do you come this far into San Diego?
Yes. Mira Mesa and the northern San Diego communities are within our area. It is a longer run from Wildomar than our Riverside County work, so we group San Diego visits sensibly, but estimates are still free and on site.

When a Tennis Court Needs Stripping Instead of Another Color Coat
Acrylic color coats can only be built up so many times before the whole system lets go from underneath. Here is how to tell when a court has reached that point.

Aisle markings that scrub off within a quarter were applied the wrong way round. The fix is a sequencing decision, not a better paint.
