Garage floor coatings we install
Epoxy with color flake
A solid epoxy layer bonded into ground concrete, often with color flake broadcast in for texture. It suits most home garages that see cars, tools and weekend projects.
Polyaspartic coating systems
A faster-curing coating, often used as the top layer over epoxy or flake. It suits garages that need to be back in use sooner or get sun through an open door.
What goes into a garage floor coating in Martinez?
A garage floor coating in Martinez is a layer of epoxy or a similar coating that bonds into prepared concrete, leaving a floor that's smoother than bare slab and resists chemicals once it has fully cured.
Most people call Stonefield Martinez Epoxy Flooring when the bare slab is dusting and soaking up oil, or when an old coating is lifting where the tires sit. The price moves with the garage's square footage, how much grinding and crack repair the slab needs, whether old paint has to come off and which finish you choose, while the schedule mostly turns on the moisture check and the cure time before you can drive on it. Both go in the written estimate I give you after I've seen the floor.
Garage coating jobs, from slab prep to topcoat
I decide what your floor needs after testing the slab and hearing how you use the garage, then match the prep to the finish, from flake epoxy to polyaspartic floor coatings or metallic epoxy flooring.
Grinding, not acid etching
We grind the concrete instead of acid etching it, because a ground surface gives the coating a better bite than a smooth one.
Old coating and cracks
We grind off old paint or failed coating and fill cracks and pits, so the new layer sits on sound concrete.
A moisture check
If the slab tests too wet after grinding, you hear it from us before any coating goes down, not after it starts lifting.
Base coat and topcoat
We roll on the base coat, add color flake if you want texture, then seal it with a clear topcoat that takes the wear.
Why Martinez owners call Stonefield for garage floors
A garage floor that peels usually started with a slab nobody tested or ground right. So we spend our time on prep before any color goes down, and I tell you what we'll do and why before you sign. Call (925) 231-8429 to set up a visit.
I see your slab myself
I come out to look at the floor and give the estimate myself, and I'm on the job with our crew while they grind, repair and coat.
In business since 2017
I learned coatings on my own garage first, then beside experienced crews, and I've run this business since 2017 with prep as the part I won't rush.
Licensed and fully insured in California
California's licensing board describes painting and decorating contractors as ones who prep a surface by scraping, sandblasting or other means, then apply coatings that protect and waterproof it. That's the work our crew does in your garage.
What happens after you call about your garage floor?
Every garage job starts with your slab and how you use the space, so the prep, the finish and the downtime get planned around your car, your tools and your week.

Garage coating questions we hear
How do I prepare a garage floor for an epoxy coating?
Roughen the concrete mechanically, which prep guidance names as the first choice and the safest method, since acid etching is hard to rinse out fully and leaves oil behind. A smooth or poorly prepared slab can keep epoxy from bonding and lead to peeling, so ask any crew how it will prep your floor, and if it offers etching, ask how it will air the garage out. That's why we grind.
Can you put epoxy on a damp garage floor?
Not under one maker's guide, which rules a damp floor out. That guide has a plastic sheet taped to the prepared concrete for at least 24 hours, and condensation or darker concrete under it means there's too much moisture to coat. If your slab fails that kind of check, we stop and talk it through with you.
How long does epoxy take to cure before I can park in my garage?
At 68 °F, one maker recommends at least 72 hours of curing before light vehicle traffic and at least 24 hours before you walk on it. Full chemical resistance takes 7 days under that guidance, so plan parking and garage use around those waits.
How much does a garage floor coating cost in Martinez?
Installed epoxy or polyaspartic garage floor coating usually costs about $3 to $12 per square foot across the US, which is the market's range and not our quote. Where your floor lands depends on its size, how much grinding and crack repair it needs, whether old paint has to come off and which finish you pick. I give you a written figure for your own garage after I've seen it.
Does epoxy garage flooring turn yellow in the sun?
It can. One maker says its epoxy surface will discolor in areas that get regular ultraviolet light, the invisible part of sunlight. If your garage door stays open to the sun, mention it at the estimate so we can talk about which topcoat fits.
Is an epoxy garage floor slippery when it's wet?
It can be, because coated concrete is usually smoother than bare concrete and gets slick when wet. We can broadcast color flake or add texture to the topcoat for more grip, which is worth talking over if you wash cars or track rain in.
Other floor work garages often need
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
Pick this when you can't spare the garage for long, since polyaspartic coatings cure faster than standard epoxy and handle sun through an open door better.

Garage floor coatings and permits in Martinez
The Martinez Building Department issues building permits to homeowners and licensed contractors for construction inside city limits, and I won't guess whether a garage coating needs one. The city's Permit Center takes permit questions on its permits line at (925) 372-3515, and its permitting hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. If your job needs a permit, we sort out with you which city or county office covers your address and who pulls it, then work with that office from there.
We're based in Martinez and take jobs in the cities around it in Contra Costa and Solano counties. Most garages we look at have oil stains, patched cracks or a painted floor from a past owner, and we see the same mix on jobs in Concord and Benicia. Scraping or sanding old paint may release lead dust, which is toxic and can cause serious illness, especially in children, so tell me if your floor's been painted before we grind it.
