Epoxy Flooring in South Gate, CA

Epoxy flooring in South Gate works with a city shaped by factories. Firestone opened a tire plant here in 1927, more than 35 factories were running by 1940, and over 400 industries were operating by 1976. Many of those buildings are now warehouses, shops and small manufacturers. Their concrete has seen decades of heavy use, and it needs careful assessment before it can be coated.

Old industrial slabs

Factory floors carry history: oil, chemicals, old coatings and repairs. Before we coat one, we:

• Identify old coatings and remove them by grinding or shot blasting.
• Degrease oil-soaked areas.
• Repair spalls and joints that would show through.
• Test moisture, since older slabs often lack vapor barriers.

Some sites in South Gate have had soil or groundwater contamination, such as the former Cooper Drum Company Superfund site. We do not test for contamination, so for any property with a known history, we ask that the owner confirm it is cleared for work.

Big families, busy garages

South Gate's average household size is 3.76 people, one of the largest in the county, and the city is very dense. Garages often hold extra living space, storage and laundry. A sealed floor reduces dust and makes cleaning easier. We add texture where floors get wet.

Near the river

The Los Angeles River runs through the eastern part of the city. Slabs on lower ground near the channel can be damper. Every slab is tested first, and a damp-tolerant primer goes down if the readings call for one.

Owners who built their own

Early South Gate homes were often built with sweat equity rather than cash. That means some garages have hand-poured or added-on slabs that vary in thickness and finish. We inspect closely and tell you if a section needs repair before coating. About 45% of homes are owner-occupied.
