Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings in Antioch CA - a floor matched to the work
Peeling, worn or chemical-stained concrete in your shop or warehouse? We test the slab and fit a coating to your traffic and downtime.
Which epoxy floor will hold up in my shop or warehouse?
Commercial & industrial epoxy floor coatings in Antioch, CA are coatings bonded to your concrete slab that give a shop, warehouse or other working floor strong durability and resistance to chemicals. We install them for businesses here, matched to how your floor actually gets used.
Most calls start with a floor that's peeling under forklift traffic, stained from spills or worn down to bare concrete, at a business that can't close for long. If an old coating is letting go, it usually has to come off through concrete floor stripping and removal before anything new can bond. The price moves with the size of the floor, how much repair and grinding the slab needs and how heavy a system your work calls for. The schedule turns on how long you can shut down and how long each coat needs to cure. I'll look at the slab, ask how the space gets used and give you a written estimate with your own figure.
How we install commercial and industrial epoxy floor coatings
I start by asking what the floor faces each day, from chemicals and forklifts to hot washdowns, and how long you can shut the space down, because those answers pick the system and not the other way around. Then I look over the slab and test it, since a coating is only as good as the concrete under it. Our crew grinds the surface so the coating has open concrete to grip, repairs cracks and damaged spots, and lays down each coat the way the coating maker's instructions call for. We let the floor cure before traffic goes back on it, and we clean up so you get back a space that's ready to work in.
Some jobs reach past the main floor. If you need the space back fast, ask about polyaspartic floor coatings, because a polyaspartic topcoat can shorten the wait before the floor takes heavy use. If you also have a home garage or a small service bay, our garage floor coatings start from the same careful slab prep. We're based in Antioch and do this work in Pittsburg, Concord and the other cities around it, so if yours isn't listed, call and ask.
Why Antioch businesses call Sterling Antioch Concrete Coatings for epoxy floors
The owner writes your estimate
I come out to look at the floor and write the estimate myself, and I run the job with our crew. You deal with the same person from the first walk-through to cleanup, so what you told me about your shutdown window doesn't get lost.
In business since 2013
I learned floor coatings from an installer here in East Contra Costa and started this business in 2013, 13 years ago now. That's long enough to see which floors still hold up years later, and the ones that do had the prep done right.
A licensed and insured crew
We're licensed and insured. On a commercial floor that's often the first thing a landlord or property manager asks about, and you shouldn't have to chase it once a crew is already on site.
Permit questions settled before work
If your job calls for a permit, I'll tell you at the estimate and we settle who gets it before work starts, and if I'm not sure, I check with the city first. In Antioch the city handles building permits and takes applications through its online permit portal, and the Building Division answers questions about what a specific project needs to submit at (925) 779-7065.
On a working floor, what matters most is a slab that's been tested and prepped before any coating goes down. When you're ready, call (925) 503-1069, email team@antiochepoxyflooringandconcretepolishing.com or send us your project details with your floor size, the chemicals and forklifts it sees, any washdown or sanitation needs and how long you can close.
Get a written estimate for your commercial epoxy floor
We reply to every call and message within one business day. Estimates are free and on site, with no obligation. I'll come out to look at the slab, ask how the space gets used and give you a written estimate.

What shop owners ask about commercial epoxy floors
How much does a commercial epoxy floor cost in Antioch?
Epoxy floor coating in San Francisco usually costs about $4 to $15 per square foot, and that's a regional guide to the market, not an Antioch quote or our price. Where your floor lands depends on how much repair and grinding the slab needs, how heavy a system your work calls for and which topcoat fits your shutdown window. Your written estimate gives you the figure for your own floor.
How long does a commercial epoxy floor take before I can reopen?
One commercial flooring guide puts a standard system on a 5,000 square foot floor at two to four days of work, plus cure time after that. The topcoat changes how soon the floor can take loads, since that guide gives polyaspartic topcoats 24 to 48 hours before forklifts and standard urethane topcoats 3 to 5 days before heavy loads. I'll ask how long you can close at the estimate and plan around that window.
What causes epoxy floor coatings to peel or blister?
Most peeling and blistering starts in the slab, usually from moisture coming up through concrete that felt dry. A slab can be bone dry to the touch and still hold enough moisture inside to lift a coating within months, and moisture vapor that isn't managed can cause blisters or delamination, where the coating lets go of the concrete. The coating maker's data sheet or the project spec sets the moisture limit, so we check the slab against it before coating, and whether you need a vapor barrier is something I'd want to test first.
What is the best way to choose between epoxy and urethane for an industrial floor?
Start from what the floor faces, because the right system depends on chemical exposure, temperature swings, traffic and impact, sanitation needs and how long you can shut down. Urethane flexes more than epoxy and handles thermal shock, the sudden jump from hot to cold, better too. Standard epoxy is fairly rigid, so a cracking or moving slab can pass stress up into it unless a flexible or hybrid design is used, which is why I ask about hot washdowns before I suggest anything.
Will an epoxy floor turn yellow near open bay doors?
It can, because standard epoxies can yellow or chalk when they sit in sunlight for long stretches. UV-resistant grades or a topcoat made to hold up in the sun handle those areas better, so show me which parts of the floor get direct light when I come out.
What license does a contractor need for epoxy flooring in California?
Under California's licensing rules, resin and epoxy application falls under the D-12 Synthetic Products Contractor class, which also covers synthetic caulking and sealants. When you compare bids, it's fair to ask each contractor which license covers the coating work.
