Epoxy Flooring in La Verne, CA

La Verne is a city of owners. In the 2020 census, 71.1% of its occupied homes were owner-occupied, one of the higher shares in the area. People who plan to stay tend to ask for epoxy flooring in La Verne that goes beyond a basic garage coat. They want a garage that works as a gym or shop, a metallic floor in a family room on slab, or a patio that looks finished. We build each floor for the long haul, which starts with good prep.

From Lordsburg to La Verne

Isaac W. Lord held a big land sale in 1887 and named the new town Lordsburg. Residents planted citrus, and the town became known as the Heart of the Orange Empire. It was incorporated as La Verne in 1906. Homes here span a long stretch of time, so we see slabs of very different ages and conditions. Some have been coated or painted more than once. Others are bare and dusty from decades of use.

Interior floors on slab

Metallic epoxy is a poured, swirled finish that suits dens, home offices, studios and converted garages. Inside the house, moisture is the main risk. Concrete on grade can pass water vapor up from the soil, and that vapor can push a coating off from below. Our interior process looks like this: 1. Remove flooring, tack strips and adhesive 2. Test the slab for moisture in several spots 3. Grind the concrete and fill cracks 4. Apply a primer matched to the moisture reading 5. Pour and work the metallic layer 6. Seal with a clear topcoat

If readings are too high for a coating, we tell you before any work begins.

Garages that do double duty

A lot of La Verne garages hold a home gym, a workbench or a hobby setup along with a car. For a gym we use a thicker base under the weight area. For a workshop we suggest a solid color with a light flake so small screws and parts are easy to spot. A polyaspartic topcoat adds chemical and scratch resistance for either use.

Climate at the base of the mountains

La Verne sits at 1,060 feet below the San Gabriel Mountains, with a warm-summer Mediterranean climate. Summers are hot and dry, and winters bring most of the rain. Outdoor slabs face strong sun much of the year. On patios and walkways we use a UV-stable, textured finish that will not yellow and gives grip when wet.

Getting around the 210

State Route 210 runs east to west through the city, and historic Route 66 passes through too. Plenty of homeowners here commute and want the job done with the least disruption. Most garage jobs take one to two days. We clear the schedule with you up front and tell you when you can park again.

The university side of town

The University of La Verne sits on 3rd Street and grew out of Lordsburg College, founded in 1891 after members of the German Baptist Brethren Church bought the empty Lordsburg Hotel. Homes near campus include rentals and long-held family houses side by side. For rental owners we suggest a flake garage floor that cleans up between tenants. For family homes with a converted garage or bonus room, a solid color or metallic floor can make the space feel like part of the house. We give you samples to look at in your own light before you choose.
