Request an estimateDublin: older ranch slabs and newer garages
Dublin covers a lot of ground for one city. West of 680 you'll find older ranch homes on established streets. Out east toward Tassajara Road the neighborhoods are newer, with bigger houses, three-car garages and plenty of backyard pools. Mixed in are shopping centers, offices and business parks, and every one of them has a concrete floor that needs care.
The city's northern edge runs right into San Ramon, and the houses on both sides of that line look a lot alike to us. The older slabs usually come with years of wear we have to fix first, and the newer ones need grinding before a coating will hold.
Working in Dublin: permits, licenses and your slab
In Dublin the permit call belongs to the city's Building and Safety Division, which issues permits for most construction and repair inside city limits. Permit rules depend on which office your address falls under, so we check with that office before work starts. When a permit is needed, we take care of the paperwork as part of the job. If the permit needs plan review, that wait comes before our start date. You can also check one thing about any contractor yourself, because the city requires everyone doing business inside its limits to hold a current Dublin business license, and that includes out-of-town companies and subcontractors. We're licensed and insured.
The price here moves with the size of the floor, how much old coating or oil has to come off, how many cracks need filling and the system you pick. The schedule turns on that same prep, plus any permit wait, and your written estimate puts a number on your floor. Dublin sits where 580 and 680 meet, so getting our crew and grinders to your house is easy, and we do the same work in Pleasanton and Livermore.
Services in Dublin, CA
Epoxy Floor Coatings
Newer Dublin slabs are often troweled so smooth a coating can't grip. We grind them open first, then put down epoxy floor coatings that stand up to tires and spills.
Garage Floor Coatings
Garages in Dublin's older neighborhoods usually carry decades of oil stains and patched cracks. We pull the oil out, fill the cracks and coat the floor so it sweeps clean.
Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal
Many garages here were painted years ago, and that paint lifts, taking any new coating with it. We strip old paint, sealer or epoxy to bare concrete first.
Polished Concrete Flooring
Many Dublin shops and homes sit on slabs worth polishing. We grind, densify and polish the concrete you already have, so there's no coating to wear off.
Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
Pool decks take splashed pool water and bare feet all summer, and older ones crack and roughen. We repair the cracks and resurface the deck with a finish that's easier on feet.
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
Dublin's business parks and warehouses can't just close for floor work. We plan the coating around your hours, working in sections or after closing.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit for an epoxy garage floor or patio coating in Dublin, CA?
The city's permit list doesn't settle it for floor coatings, so we check with the city about your address before work starts. Dublin's list is open ended. It names patios, decks and pools as work that needs a permit, and it leaves painting, carpeting and similar finish work off. When a permit is needed, we take care of the paperwork as part of the job.
How long does a building permit take in Dublin?
A permit that needs plan review takes about two to three weeks to process, which is 10 to 15 business days, and most minor permits are issued over the counter. If your job needs one, that review time comes before our start date, so we check early. You can see how the process works on the city's building permits page.
Can a homeowner pull their own permit in Dublin, CA?
Yes, Dublin lets property owners obtain permits for any work done on their property, and licensed contractors can obtain permits for the work their license allows. You don't have to do it yourself, though, because when a permit is needed we handle the paperwork as part of the job.
How much does an epoxy garage floor cost in Dublin?
The price comes from your floor, mainly its size, how much old paint, sealer or oil has to come off, how many cracks need repair and which coating system you pick. A plain one-color epoxy usually costs less than a full flake or metallic floor. A slab that needs heavy grinding or stripping costs more than one that's nearly ready to coat.
What causes an epoxy garage floor to peel?
Most peeling comes from what's under the coating, not the coating itself. The usual causes are moisture in the slab, old sealer or paint left in place, or concrete too smooth for the epoxy to bite into. That's why I'd rather spend the time grinding and checking the slab than rush to the coating, and on Dublin's older garages that often means stripping what's already there.
How do I know if my Dublin garage slab is ready for a coating?
A slab is ready when it's dry, clean of oil and old coatings, and open enough for a coating to grip, and most garages need some work to get there. For a quick check, drip some water on the floor. If it beads up, there's likely a sealer or coating on it that has to come off. If your slab isn't ready yet, I'll tell you straight and tell you what it needs.
