Epoxy Flooring in Long Beach, CA

The harbor shapes a lot of epoxy flooring work in Long Beach. The Port of Long Beach is the second-busiest seaport in the United States and moves more than $140 billion in trade a year. That traffic supports warehouses, truck yards, repair shops and cold storage across the city, and nearly every one of them stands on a slab that takes daily abuse. At home, garages near the water face steady humidity and salty air.

Humidity you can measure

Long Beach averages about 67% relative humidity year round and an annual dew point of about 50 degrees. Summer often brings overnight low clouds and fog that clear by afternoon. For a coating crew, that means a slab can be cool and damp at 7 a.m. and fine by 11. We take readings of slab temperature and dew point before we open a single kit, and we time the primer coat for the window when condensation will not form.

Floors for logistics and repair

Warehouses, container repair shops and truck service bays share a few needs:

• Impact resistance for dropped parts and pallets.
• Oil and diesel resistance around service areas.
• Grit in the topcoat where floors get wet.
• Clear striping to separate forklifts from foot traffic.

We plan these systems in zones so a business can keep part of the building open while we work.

Boats and harbor gear

Alamitos Bay, Belmont Shore and Naples give the city a big boating community, and Long Beach has four public boat launch ramps. Garages that hold boats, trailers and fishing gear deal with salt water dripping off hulls and rusting trailer parts. A sealed floor keeps salt from soaking into the concrete. We use textured finishes and suggest pads under trailer jacks to avoid point damage.

An oil-field city

Oil was found on Signal Hill in 1921, and the Wilmington Oil Field, the fourth-largest in the country, lies mostly within Long Beach. The city's Gas and Oil Department still manages subsidence from extraction. Older slabs in some areas show settlement cracks. We look at slope and cracking before we coat, and we will tell you when a crack needs repair rather than covering it.

Renters and soft-story buildings

About 58% of homes were renter-occupied at the 2010 census, and the city lists 3,226 soft-story buildings. Parking under these buildings belongs to owners and boards, so we write scopes they can review.
