Flooring work for Arcadia homes and shops

Arcadia is a short drive east of us in Glendale, and most calls there come from homeowners with a garage, patio or pool deck that's worn out. The houses tend to sit on good-sized lots with wide driveways and two- or three-car garages, with older single-story homes next to big newer ones, and the shops and restaurants on the commercial streets call when a work floor is wearing through. It's the same work we do in Pasadena and Alhambra, but the slabs here usually run bigger.

Bigger houses mean bigger slabs, and older ones usually come with a layer of somebody else's work on top, so in Arcadia the job is often as much about what we take off as what we put down.

Floor work we do in Arcadia

What Arcadia slabs need before a coating

The bigger garages here have usually carried cars for a long time, so the slab tends to come to us with oil soaked in, old sealer or paint on top and a few cracks running across it. My dad's rule was that floors fail from underneath, so we grind until the concrete is open and clean, fill the cracks and check for moisture before we pick a coating, because a coating only holds as well as the surface under it.

That prep is what moves the price and the schedule most. Price comes down to the square footage, how much has to come off, how many repairs the slab needs and which coating you choose, while the schedule turns on that same prep plus how long the coating needs to cure before you walk or park on it. I come out to see the floor and write the estimate myself, so your figure is for your slab, and I lead the crew that does the work.

Arcadia floor questions we hear

Do I need a permit to coat my garage floor in Arcadia?

The city's list of work that needs no permit doesn't mention floor coatings, so we check with the city for your address before work starts and tell you what we find. Arcadia Building Services issues permits for most construction and renovation and takes questions at (626) 574-5416. If a permit is needed, state law says a licensed contractor or the property owner pulls it.

Does my flooring contractor need an Arcadia business license?

Yes, every business that works in Arcadia needs a City business license unless state or federal law exempts it. Contractors without an address in the city carry the license while they're on the job and show it to police or city staff who ask for it.

How do I check that a flooring contractor is licensed in California?

Ask for their state contractor's license, because the Contractors State License Board licenses and regulates construction work in California. Arcadia asks for that same license when a contractor pulls a permit there, along with a city business license and a workers' comp certificate. We're licensed and insured.

How much can a contractor ask for as a down payment in California?

No more than $1,000 or 10 percent of the total contract price, whichever is less. The state board says that cap covers all home improvement projects, so it applies to a garage floor or patio job the same as a bigger remodel.

How much does it cost to epoxy a garage floor in Arcadia?

The price is set mostly by the size of the floor and how much work the slab needs before coating, so I give you a figure once I've seen it. A big garage with oil stains, cracks and an old peeling coat costs more to prep than a clean slab, and a full flake or metallic system costs more than a single solid color. Call (747) 372-8604 or use the form and I'll come out to measure.

How long does an Arcadia building permit last?

A permit is good for one year from the day it's issued. Once work starts, it expires if the work stops for more than 180 days, which matters if your new floor is part of a bigger remodel with its own permit.
