Epoxy Flooring in Lakewood, CA

Epoxy flooring in Lakewood puts us inside some of the most studied houses in America. Between 1950 and 1953, builders put up about 17,500 homes here in under three years, finishing one every seven and a half minutes on average. On opening day in March 1950, about 30,000 people lined up to tour seven model houses. Most of those homes still stand, and so do their garage slabs.

Same builder, similar slabs

Because so many Lakewood homes were built by one developer in a short time, garage floors across the city share traits. That helps us plan, though every slab has its own history of patches, oil and settling. Common issues include:

• Thin, uneven surfaces worn by decades of use.
• Cracks at corners and joints from shrinkage and settling.
• Old paint or sealers that must be ground off.
• No vapor barrier, which makes moisture testing essential.

Owners for the long haul

Owner-occupied homes make up about 71% of Lakewood's occupied housing, and households average about three people. Families who stay for decades often choose a durable flake system that hides wear. We show the cost difference between a basic and a full system on the written quote.

Low ground near the coast

Lakewood sits just 46 feet above sea level. Low, flat ground is not always wet, but it can hold moisture after winter storms. We test before quoting a system, and we watch for water entering at the garage door, which may need a fix before coating.

A contract city with shared standards

Lakewood was the first U.S. city to contract for all its municipal services when it incorporated in 1954. Many owners like to update the garage without changing the outside look. A coating is an interior upgrade that fits that approach.
