Epoxy Flooring in Chino, CA

Few cities have changed their concrete as much as Chino, and epoxy flooring jobs here range from brand-new garages to decades-old work buildings. Wikipedia says the dairy industry flourished from the 1950s through the 1980s, and Chino was once called the largest milk-producing community in the nation's largest milk-producing state. Much of that land has since become housing. The result is a city where a new tract garage and an old equipment shed can sit a short drive apart.

Farm roots under the newer streets

Chino's history runs from Rancho Santa Ana del Chino to a town incorporated in 1910. Sugar beets were an early cash crop, followed by sweet corn, peaches, walnuts, tomatoes and strawberries. Wikipedia notes the valley's topsoil runs as deep as 4 feet. Deep, soft soil is good for crops, and it also means slabs can settle over time if the ground under them was not well compacted. We look for settlement cracks and uneven sections before we quote, and we fill and level them so the coating does not bridge a gap that is still moving.

Shops, barns and hangars

Rural lots in Chino often have a workshop, a barn or an equipment building with a large concrete floor. Those floors take oil, hydraulic fluid, fertilizer, feed dust and heavy tires. For them we recommend:

• A full diamond grind to cut through years of stains
• A thicker 100% solids epoxy base where machinery and trailers park
• A chemical-resistant topcoat that handles fuel and fluid drips
• Grit in the finish for traction when the floor is wet

Chino Airport is home to the Planes of Fame and Yanks Air Museum, and the surrounding area has hangars and aviation shops with the same kind of hard-working floor.

Newer tracts

On the residential side, many Chino homes have two- and three-car garages on recently poured slabs. New concrete often has a smooth troweled surface or a builder's sealer that coatings cannot bond to. We grind that off, and we confirm the concrete has cured long enough before we coat it. A flake floor with a polyaspartic topcoat is the most common choice for these garages.

A city with a lot of owners

The 2020 census counted 91,403 residents and 27,224 housing units in Chino, and 62.5% of occupied units were owner-occupied. Many owners use their garages heavily, for project cars, trailers and tools. A coated floor makes cleanup simple after messy work. We use a hard topcoat and add grit if the floor will be washed down often.

In Chino's older neighborhoods, garages are smaller and slabs are older. Those floors usually need more crack and joint repair, and we list that work separately so you can see what it costs.
