Epoxy Flooring in Dublin, CA

Epoxy flooring in Dublin, CA means working on two very different sets of slabs. The first housing tracts went up in West Dublin in 1960, and ACS estimates show 13.4% of the city's homes were built in that decade. Then the city barely grew for a while. Building picked up again after incorporation in February 1982, and 60% of today's housing has gone up since 2000. A garage near Dublin Boulevard and a garage off Tassajara Road may sit five miles apart, but their floors need different work before a coating goes down.

West Dublin: slabs with a history

A 1960s garage floor has had six decades of oil drips, paint spills, water heater leaks and patch jobs. Many have been painted or rolled with a kit coating at least once. Some have settled at the door where the driveway meets the slab. What we usually do on these floors:

• Grind off old paint and failed coatings down to sound concrete
• Cut out and refill crumbling patches and chipped joint edges
• Treat soaked-in oil spots so the base coat can bond over them
• Check the door threshold for a lip or low spot where water sits
• Recommend a full flake system, which hides an uneven surface better than a solid color

East Dublin: young floors, hidden sealers

The newer side of town is a different job. Wallis Ranch has about 816 units, with the first phase opening in September 2016, and Tassajara Hills added about 370 detached homes. One-third of Dublin's housing was built in 2010 or later. Those floors are flat and mostly crack-free, but builders often leave a curing compound or clear sealer on the surface. Resin sits on top of that film instead of soaking into the concrete. We grind the whole floor to remove it, even when the slab looks brand new.

Townhomes and shared drives

Attached single-family homes make up 16.8% of Dublin's housing, and apartment buildings with 50 or more units add another 16.4%. Many townhome garages here are one or two bays wide and open onto a drive shared with neighbors. On those jobs we plan the work around your neighbors. That means one vehicle spot for our equipment, vacuum-attached grinders to keep dust inside, and a cure schedule that tells you when you can park again. If your HOA limits work hours or requires a notice, send us the rules and we will follow them.

What moves under Dublin floors

Two things crack slabs in this city. The first is clay. A PG&E environmental report on the Tri-Valley found Diablo and Pescadero clays under its Dublin site and rated both as high shrink-swell, which means they expand in wet winters and pull back in dry summers. The second is the Calaveras Fault, which Wikipedia lists as passing through or near Dublin and which includes segments that move by slow creep. The PG&E report also places the active Pleasanton Fault about 3 miles from its Dublin site. Most cracks we see are thin and stable. We fill and coat over those. If a crack is wider at one end, offset from one side to the other, or growing, we show you and talk it through before you pay for a coating over it.

Dublin as a workplace

The city's FY2025 list of top employers is led by the U.S. Government, a count that includes FCI Dublin, followed by Alameda County, the Dublin Unified School District, Ross Stores and Zeiss Meditec. Not all of that is our kind of work. Smaller businesses that rent space in the city are a better fit: break rooms, back-of-house storage, fitness studios and small service bays. Those floors need a coating that handles foot traffic, carts and cleaning chemicals, and many need to be done over a weekend. We schedule commercial work after hours when a business has to stay open.
