Epoxy Flooring in Montclair, CA

Montclair households are bigger than most, and epoxy flooring in Montclair is often about a garage that serves many people. The 2020 census counted an average of 3.56 people per household, and 45.6% of households had children under 18. In homes like that, the garage is a workshop, a laundry room, a gym, a bike rack, overflow storage and sometimes a place to sit in the evening. Bare concrete in that kind of space gets dusty, stained and tired fast.

A small city with a lot packed in

Montclair covers 5.53 square miles, all land, between Pomona, Claremont, Upland, Ontario and Chino. It was incorporated as Monte Vista in 1956 and took the name Montclair in 1958, after the Post Office would not open an office under the old name. Before that, the land was mostly citrus orchards. The census counted 10,816 housing units in 2020, and 54.8% were owner-occupied. Lots are compact, so the garage is often the only spare room the house has.

What heavy daily use does to a slab

A garage that is used all day wears in specific places. We see:

• Rubber marks and worn paths from the car door to the house door
• Stains from laundry spills, paint, bike chains and fitness equipment
• Dents and chips where weights or tools have been dropped
• Dust that never fully goes away, because bare concrete keeps shedding it

Grinding and coating the floor stops the dusting, since the surface is sealed. A flake broadcast finish hides scuffs and gives bare feet and shoes some grip. In a gym corner, a thicker base coat and rubber mats work well together.

Commuters and quick turnarounds

The Montclair Transit Center links Metrolink trains with Foothill Transit and Omnitrans buses, and many residents commute toward Los Angeles or San Bernardino. If you cannot be without the garage for long, a polyaspartic topcoat cures much faster than standard epoxy. That can mean parking again after a much shorter wait. We give you an exact walk-on and park-on time for the product we use and the day's temperature.

Sharing the garage with laundry and storage

In many Montclair homes the washer and dryer sit in the garage. Detergent drips, water from the hoses and lint all land on the floor. We coat right up to the appliance area and can run the coating a few inches up the stem wall so spills stay on a sealed surface. Shelving and storage bins move out for the install and back in after the floor can take weight, and we give you that time in writing.

If part of the garage holds a freezer or a workbench that cannot move far, tell us at the estimate. We can plan the work in two halves on the same day.

Older garages, older slabs

Much of Montclair was built out decades ago on former orchard land, so many garage slabs have seen years of use. We grind off old paint, oil and sealer, fill cracks and chipped joints, and then coat. If a slab has a section that has sunk or lifted, we point it out before work starts, since a coating follows the shape of the concrete under it.

Choosing a system in Montclair

• Garage floor coating for the full floor, ground and repaired first
• Epoxy flake floors for busy family garages that need to hide dirt between cleanings
• Polyaspartic floor coating for a faster return to daily use
• Metallic epoxy floors if the garage has become a finished room or home office
