Epoxy Floor Coatings in Oceanside, CA

It is abrasive, so we lean toward harder-wearing finishes near the beach rather than the softest decorative options. Texture also matters — a surface that is wet and sandy at once needs genuine grip.

Epoxy peels for one reason nearly every time: it was put over concrete that was not opened up first. If the slab is sealed, dusty, oily or still holding moisture, the coating has nothing to grip and it lets go in sheets a year or two later. We grind every floor mechanically before a drop of product goes down. That step is most of the cost and all of the reason it lasts.

We would rather not, and usually we will not. Coating over a failing coating buys you the same failure with a new color on it. Removal is a service in its own right for us — we do it for other contractors as well as on our own jobs — so taking the old system off is straightforward work rather than a reason to walk away.
