Concrete Coatings in Riverside, CA
David Paul Foster Co. applies and services coatings throughout Riverside, from the Mission Inn blocks and Wood Streets out to the groves along Victoria Avenue.
Coatings built for Riverside homes.
Riverside is the oldest city we work in regularly and it shows in the concrete. The Wood Streets and the blocks around the Mission Inn carry genuinely historic slabs and porch work; the post-war tracts east of there carry another era again. Very little of it is young, and almost none of it needs replacing.
Older concrete rewards restraint. On the historic Riverside blocks the right answer is usually to restore what is there — clean it, deal with the cracks, and color it in a way that suits the age of the house — rather than lay something modern over the top that fights the architecture.
Staining is the workhorse for that. Color that penetrates the slab reads as part of the concrete rather than as a film on it, which matters enormously on a 1920s porch or a period driveway.
What we run into in Riverside
Riverside also gives us a lot of commercial work. The industrial stock along the freeway corridors brings warehouse floors, machine shops and the coating removal that goes with buildings which have changed hands several times and been coated by several different people.

Concrete Coatings in Riverside, questions
We have a 1920s house in the Wood Streets. Will a coating look wrong on it?
It can, which is why we often recommend staining instead. A penetrating stain colors the concrete itself rather than laying a film over it, so a period porch or driveway still reads as concrete of its age. We would rather talk you out of the wrong finish than sell it to you.
Do you handle commercial and warehouse floors in Riverside?
A lot of them. The industrial stock along the freeway corridors is core work for us — warehouse and plant floors, machine shops, safety striping, and stripping out whatever the last three owners coated the slab with.
How far back does your experience with Riverside concrete go?
We started in 1976 and have worked across Riverside County ever since. Fifty years in one region means we have generally seen how a given era of local concrete behaves before we quote on it.

Polyaspartic vs Epoxy: Which Garage Floor Coating Suits Southern California?
Epoxy and polyaspartic are sold as rivals. On a well-prepared slab they are usually partners, and the sun, the heat and how long you can lose the garage decide which goes where.
