Epoxy Flooring in Dana Point, CA

Epoxy flooring in Dana Point often goes into a garage that holds more than a car. The harbor was built in the 1960s and dedicated in 1971. It has a marina and is the departure point for the Catalina Express. Boats, trailers, fishing gear, paddleboards and dive tanks end up in local garages. Each of them brings salt water, grease and weight onto the slab. A coated floor seals the concrete so that mess stays on top, where you can rinse it off.

Trailers, tongue jacks and salt water

A boat trailer is hard on a garage floor. The tongue jack puts a lot of weight on a small spot. Bearings drip grease. A hull rinsed after a day out leaves salty water that dries into white rings on bare concrete. For these garages we suggest:

• A thicker epoxy base so the floor can take point loads
• A full flake broadcast that hides scuffs and stains
• A hard, chemical-resistant topcoat that stands up to grease and fuel
• A pad or plate under the tongue jack, which protects any floor

We will not promise a floor that cannot be scratched. We will build one that is easy to clean and repair.

Homes that sit empty part of the year

In the 2020 census, Dana Point had 16,254 housing units, and 12.3% of them were vacant. Wikipedia does not break out vacation homes. Still, 41.4% of occupied homes were rented. Between rentals and owners who are away for part of the year, a lot of our Dana Point work is scheduled around empty houses. That works in our favor. An empty garage is faster to coat, and the floor can cure fully before anyone parks. Tell us your dates, and we can plan the job for when the home is free.

Older homes near the headlands

Dana Point has homes from many eras. Wikipedia notes that developer S. H. Woodruff built about three dozen homes here in the late 1920s, and that 34 of the original 35 Woodruff residences are still occupied. Most of the city came later. The population went from 4,745 in 1970 to 31,896 in 1990. That means most garage slabs here date from the 1970s and 1980s. We expect cracks, old sealers and oil stains, and we grind and repair before any coat goes down.

Coastal weather and timing

Dana Point is mild. Average highs run in the mid 60s in December and close to 80 in August, and frost is extremely rare. About 12 inches of rain falls a year, nearly all from November through March. Those are good conditions for coating. We still check slab moisture before each coat, especially on mornings after rain or heavy fog.

If your home is in a gated or planned community, check your HOA rules before any outdoor coating that neighbors can see.
