Flooring Contractor in Pleasant Hill, CA - Garage and Shop Floors That Stay Bonded

The city's rules don't settle it for floor coatings, so check with the Building Division before work starts. The city requires a permit for work that physically changes or adds structures and says ground work like driveways, pathways and patios needs no building permit, but coating an existing slab isn't named either way. When in doubt, the city says to call the Building Division at (925) 671-5200, and if your job does need a permit, we sort out with you who pulls it and work with the city from there.

Yes, in most cases. The state licensing board requires a contractor's license when a job needs a building permit, uses any additional workers, or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials together, a limit that rose from $500 to $1,000. The city also requires its own business license from contractors working in Pleasant Hill, including ones based outside the city. We're licensed and fully insured.

The city allows construction from 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Emergency work falls outside that limit. We keep the grinding, the loudest part of a floor job, inside those hours.

I can't give you a fair number until I've seen the slab, because here the concrete's condition moves the price more than the coating does. Cracks to fill, old paint or sealer to strip, oil soaked into the surface and moisture coming up through the slab all add prep time, while a sound, clean slab keeps it down. Flakes, a metallic finish or a faster-curing topcoat change it too, and you'll get your own figure at the estimate.

Here it's often the ground, since the city has noted clay soils are common across Pleasant Hill. Clay swells when it's wet and shrinks as it dries, and over the years that movement cracks and tips slabs. That's a citywide picture, not a soil report for your lot, so I look at your cracks one by one and decide which we fill and which need a closer look before any coating goes on.

Check with the city, which says FEMA has mapped parts of Pleasant Hill as Special Flood Hazard Areas covering about 700 homes. If your house is in one, improvements there may need a Floodplain Development Permit, so look at the city's floodplain management page before we schedule. If your garage has taken water before, I'll test the slab for moisture and talk through coatings that can handle getting wet.
