Epoxy Flooring in Solana Beach, CA

Epoxy flooring in Solana Beach usually means working in tight quarters. The 2020 census counted 12,941 people on about 3.41 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,790 residents per square mile. That density shows up in the garages we see: single-car and tandem garages, shared condo parking areas, and older beach houses where the garage is also the laundry room, surf locker and storage unit. A coated floor makes a small space easier to keep clean and easier to use for more than one thing.

What the housing looks like

Solana Beach had 6,574 housing units in 2020. About 62.5% of occupied homes were owner-occupied and 37.5% were rented. Before the city incorporated in 1986, the county allowed large condominium buildings to go up on top of the sandstone bluffs. So a good share of the floors here belong to owners who live inside an association, and a good share belong to landlords who need a floor that cleans up fast between tenants.

Condo and HOA garages

If your garage or parking stall is part of a condo complex, the association usually controls common areas. A private garage interior is often the owner's to improve, but rules vary. Check your CC&Rs before we schedule. We can write up the system, color and cure schedule so you have something to hand the board. For shared garages, we can also talk about phasing work so neighbors keep access.

Rentals and turnover

Landlords tend to ask for one of two things:

• Garage floor coating with a full flake broadcast, which hides tire marks and sand between tenants
• Polyaspartic floor coating, which cures fast enough that a unit is not out of service for long

Both wipe clean with a mop and mild cleaner, which beats scrubbing oil out of bare concrete at move-out.

Salt air, sand and a short rainy season

The city's annual rainfall averages about 11.39 inches, mostly from January through March. The rest of the year the bigger issue is what comes in on feet and tires. Beach sand is abrasive. Wet suits and boards drip salty water. On a bare slab that water soaks in and leaves white marks. On a sealed floor it sits on top until you squeegee it out. For garages that see a lot of rinsing, we add a fine texture to the topcoat so the floor has grip when wet.

Storefronts on Cedros Avenue

The Cedros Design District has more than 85 galleries, import and antique stores, boutiques and cafes. Many of these spaces sit on concrete. Shop owners who want a polished, gallery-like look often choose metallic epoxy floors, which are poured and worked by hand so no two floors match. For back rooms, kitchens and storage, a commercial and shop floor epoxy system holds up better to carts and spills. We can schedule retail work around opening hours.

Patios close to the water

Many Solana Beach homes have small patios and walkways that take afternoon sun. A patio and pool deck coating gives that concrete a textured, cooler-feeling surface that is easier to rinse. Outdoor surfaces are more likely to fall under HOA or design rules than garage interiors, so we always suggest checking first.
