Epoxy Flooring in Rialto, CA

Epoxy flooring in Rialto covers two very different kinds of concrete. In the north end, around the Las Colinas area, regional distribution centers for companies such as Staples, Amazon, Target, Niagara Bottling and Medline Industries have driven much of the city's recent growth. Elsewhere in town, about 28,000 homes sit on the slabs of a city that was incorporated in 1911. We coat both, and the systems are not the same.

Warehouse and distribution floors

A warehouse slab takes loaded forklifts, pallet jacks, dock traffic and tire scuffs every shift. Problems we see most:

• Spalled joints where forklift wheels cross
• Dusting concrete that coats product and racking
• Faded or missing aisle and safety striping
• Battery acid and hydraulic fluid near charging areas

For these floors we grind the slab, repair joints with a semi-rigid filler, and install a thicker 100% solids epoxy. We can add line striping and chemical-resistant topcoats in charging or maintenance areas. We can phase the work in sections so part of the building keeps running.

Small shops and supplier bays

The big centers bring smaller businesses with them: truck repair bays, tire shops, pallet yards with offices and service companies. These floors see oil, coolant and steel dropped on concrete. A shop floor epoxy with a flake or quartz broadcast gives grip and stands up to that use. We can coat in sections so you are not shut down for long.

Rialto homes

The 2020 census counted 27,954 housing units in Rialto, with 63.8% owner-occupied. Many Rialto households own work trucks or second vehicles, and the garage doubles as a shop. For homeowners we usually suggest:

• A flake garage system with a clear topcoat
• Polyaspartic where the garage door faces the sun
• UV-stable coatings for back patios

Landlords with rentals in Rialto often ask for a solid color with a light flake. It cleans up fast between tenants and hides wear.

Heat and timing

Rialto sits at about 1,348 feet and has hot, dry summers with mild winters. Summer heat speeds up cure times, which shortens working time on the floor. On hot days we start early, keep material out of the sun and watch slab temperature before each coat. In a warehouse with no air conditioning we plan around the hottest hours.

Pricing a commercial floor

Commercial floors are priced by square footage, slab condition and the system needed. Joint repair, striping, cove base and chemical-resistant topcoats each add to the cost. We walk the building, look at the traffic patterns and give you a written, itemized quote. If you need the work phased around shipping schedules, we include the phasing plan in that quote so you can see how long each area will be out of service.

Home garages near the freeways

Many Rialto home garages have one bay set up as a work area. A flake floor with a thicker base coat stands up to jacks and dropped tools better than a thin kit.
