Epoxy Flooring in San Clemente, CA

Epoxy flooring in San Clemente has to handle a lot of sun. Wikipedia credits the city with about 310 days of sunshine a year. Average highs run from 64 degrees in December to 79 in August, so most days are comfortable for working with resin. The tougher test is light. A garage door that stays open all afternoon lets UV fall straight onto the floor, and plain epoxy will yellow under it. Nearly every San Clemente garage we coat gets a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat for that reason.

Surf gear on the garage floor

Trestles borders the city and is set to host Olympic surfing in 2028. Plenty of San Clemente garages hold boards, wetsuits and a rinse bucket. That means three things for a floor: 1. Water. Rinsing gear in the garage leaves puddles. A coated floor sheds water instead of soaking it up. 2. Sand. Grit on tires and feet acts like sandpaper on a soft finish. A full flake floor with a hard topcoat hides it and holds up. 3. Grip. Wet coated floors can be slick. We add texture to the topcoat where people walk barefoot.

Colors that match a Spanish Village home

When Ole Hanson founded the town in 1925, his deeds sent building plans to a review board to keep red tile roofs and white walls. Wikipedia notes that rule did not last, but downtown still shows red tile roofs, cream stucco and dark wood doors. Many owners want a garage that matches. Flake blends in tan, terracotta, cream and brown tones work well with that look. We bring samples to the estimate so you can see them next to your walls and door.

Who we coat floors for

The 2020 census counted 64,293 residents and 26,647 homes. About 64.0% of occupied homes were owner-occupied and 36.0% were rented. Owners usually ask for flake or metallic finishes. Landlords tend to want a solid, easy-to-clean floor that can be recoated later between tenants. We also coat floors for people who work at Camp Pendleton, just over the county line, and keep a truck, tools or a boat trailer in the garage.

A typical San Clemente garage job

• We measure the floor, take a moisture reading and look for cracks, oil and old coatings
• Gear and boards come out, and we agree on where they go
• The full floor and edges get diamond ground with vacuum dust control
• Cracks and chips are filled
• Base coat, flake broadcast and a polyaspartic topcoat go down in order
• You get written times for walking, moving things back and parking

Most two-car garages take one to two days. A beach-town garage with heavy sand often needs an extra pass of cleaning before we grind, and we plan for it.

Rainy season and outdoor work

San Clemente gets about 12.54 inches of rain a year, mostly from November through March. That makes late spring through fall the easiest window for patios and pool decks. Indoor garage work can go year-round. We take a moisture reading before every coat.
