Request an estimateWalnut Creek: older homes, garages that work hard
Walnut Creek runs from the condos and townhomes around downtown out to single-family streets that back onto Shell Ridge, the open space that climbs toward Mount Diablo. A lot of the houses we see here are older ranch and split-level homes with some newer builds mixed in, much like next door in Danville. Their garages do a lot more than hold a car. They hold bikes for the Iron Horse Trail, a workbench, a second fridge and sometimes a home gym.
On older slabs that usually means oil stains, patched cracks and a paint or sealer someone rolled on years ago, and all of it has to come off before anything new goes down. That's why we grind and check the concrete before we talk about color.
Working in Walnut Creek: permits, schedules and price
Permits for homes inside Walnut Creek's city limits come from the city's Community Development Department. Its list of work that needs a building permit covers jobs like remodels, re-roofing and new windows, and it doesn't name floor coatings, so I check with the department about your job before we set a start date. That check can add a little time up front, so it pays to call early. When a permit is needed, we take care of the paperwork as part of the job, and the city issues it only with the signature of the property owner or a California licensed contractor.
Downtown shops and restaurants usually need their floors done around business hours, while the houses out toward the hills mostly need garages and patios brought back. Either way, the price moves with the size of the floor, how much old coating or sealer has to come off, how many cracks need repair and which finish you pick. The schedule turns mostly on prep and the coating's cure time. I come out to look at every job myself, and you get your estimate in writing. We do the same work from our base in Dublin up to San Ramon and down in Milpitas.
Services in Walnut Creek, CA
Garage Floor Coatings
Older Walnut Creek garages usually carry oil stains and worn paint from years of use. We grind that off, fill the cracks and lay a coating that cleans up easily.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
When the garage is also the gym or the bike shop, waiting a long time to use it hurts. Polyaspartic cures faster than standard epoxy, so you're back in sooner.
Basement Flooring
Split-level and hillside homes here often have a lower room on bare concrete that nobody wants to use. We check the slab first, then put down basement flooring that suits it.
Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal
Plenty of floors here have a coating or sealer peeling because the prep under it was skipped. We strip it back to sound concrete so the new one has something to grab.
Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
Pool decks behind older Walnut Creek homes often show cracks, stains and worn texture. We repair the concrete and resurface it with a finish that's kinder to bare feet.
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
Downtown shops, restaurants and service businesses can't close for long to redo a floor. We plan the prep and coating around your hours and pick a system built for your traffic.

Frequently asked questions
How do I apply for a building permit in Walnut Creek?
You apply online through the city's Online Permit Portal, because the city no longer accepts paper or emailed applications. If your flooring job turns out to need a permit, we handle the application as part of the job.
Can flooring work be done on a Saturday in Walnut Creek?
Saturday work in Walnut Creek needs an after-hours permit from the city, and so does work on City Holidays. No construction is allowed at all on national holidays like Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day, so we plan your dates around them.
Does replacing the water heater in my garage need a permit in Walnut Creek?
Yes, the city lists a new or replacement water heater as work that needs a building permit, along with furnaces, air conditioners and new lighting fixtures. That's a plumber's or electrician's job, not ours, so get it done before we coat the floor and nobody has to drag equipment across fresh work.
What permits does Walnut Creek require for patio and driveway concrete?
The city says concrete flatwork on private property, like a patio, a replaced driveway or a path, needs no permit, but replacing the driveway approach or the sidewalk in front of your house requires an Encroachment Permit. Coating or resurfacing is a different question, so we check that with the city before we start.
How much does a garage floor coating cost in Walnut Creek?
The cost comes down to the size of your floor, its condition and the finish you choose. Removing an old coating and repairing cracks add work, and a decorative flake or metallic look costs more than a plain one. I'll look at the floor in person and give you the number in writing.
What causes an epoxy garage floor to peel?
Peeling usually starts in the concrete under the coating, not in the coating itself. Oil, an old sealer, a slab that was never ground or moisture coming up through the concrete keeps the new layer from bonding. That's why we grind and check the floor before anything goes down, and I'll tell you straight if your slab isn't ready.
