Concrete floors from a flooring contractor in Gilroy, CA
Gilroy Epoxy Floors & Concrete Coatings is a flooring contractor in Gilroy, CA, and most of our 16 services start with bare concrete that's dusty, stained, cracked or under a finish that's letting go. You end up with a floor that sweeps clean and stands up to tires, spills or foot traffic. The price mostly turns on the size of the floor and how much prep it needs, since old coatings, glue and cracks all have to be dealt with first. The schedule turns on that prep, any moisture in the slab and how long your finish needs to cure. Your written estimate lays out each step.
Epoxy Floor Coatings
We roll a thick epoxy coating over freshly ground concrete so it bonds hard, giving garages, shops and basements a glossy floor that wipes clean and resists stains.
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
Run a warehouse, shop or showroom? We lay heavier epoxy systems built for forklifts, pallet jacks and dropped tools, and keep dust down so work can go on.
Garage Floor Coatings
Tired of a dusty garage slab with oil stains and tire marks? We grind it, fill the cracks and coat it so it sweeps clean and looks finished.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
What's polyaspartic? A coating that cures faster than epoxy and holds its color in sunlight, so it suits garages you need back soon.
Metallic Epoxy Flooring
We swirl metallic pigments into epoxy by hand so the floor cures with a deep, marbled look, a good fit for living spaces, showrooms and finished basements.
Urethane Cement Flooring
Hot water, grease and harsh cleaners break down ordinary coatings. Urethane cement is a thick, tough floor for commercial kitchens, breweries and wash bays that handles all three.
Polished Concrete Flooring
Polished concrete is your own slab, ground with finer and finer diamonds until it shines, so shops, showrooms and modern homes get a floor with no coating to peel.
Stained Concrete Flooring
Want color without hiding the concrete? We stain the slab itself for mottled, earthy tones, then seal it. It suits basements, patios and living areas.
Terrazzo Flooring
Terrazzo is marble or glass chips set in a binder, ground flat and polished. We pour it for lobbies, entries and homes that want a hard-wearing floor.
Basement Flooring
Basements are where moisture shows up first, so we check the slab before anything is picked, then put down a coating that suits how damp it runs.
Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation
Grinding takes the top skin off a slab with diamond tooling, so a new coating has open, clean concrete to grip. It's the step rushed jobs skip.
Concrete Sealing
We seal bare concrete on driveways, patios and shop floors so oil and spills sit on top, where they wipe off, instead of soaking in.
Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays
Got a slab that's pitted, flaking or patched all over? A thin cement overlay gives it a fresh, even surface without tearing out the old concrete.
Self-Leveling Concrete & Overlays
When a floor dips or slopes where it shouldn't, we pour a self-leveling mix that spreads flat on its own, ready for tile, vinyl or a coating.
Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
Pool decks take sun, chlorine and wet feet all summer. We fix the cracks and recoat the deck in a textured finish that gives bare feet more grip.
Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal
Before a new floor goes down, the old one has to come off. We strip paint, failing epoxy, tile glue and old sealers down to clean concrete.
Reasons to hire a crew that preps first
Most coating trouble starts underneath, with moisture, old finishes or rushed prep, so that's where we spend our time. Here's how that shows up on your floor, and what else you can count on.
Prep comes before color
We grind the slab, fill cracks and check for moisture and old finishes before any coating goes down, because a finish only holds as well as the concrete it's stuck to.
Options side by side, plainly
I lay out each option with what it's good at and what it isn't, and I'll tell you if your slab isn't ready yet. The choice stays yours, without a sales pitch.
Dust kept down, cleanup as we go
Our grinders run hooked to dust vacuums and we clean up as we go, so you can keep living at home or keep your business open around the work.
Our own crew, start to finish
The person who looks at your floor knows the trade, and our own crew does the install with me or our lead installer on site, so nothing gets lost between estimate and job. Call (669) 205-6336 to start.
How a floor job runs, call to walkthrough
Here's what happens once you reach out, from a reply within one business day to a free written estimate and a finished floor you look over with us.
Call or send a message
Call (669) 205-6336 or send a note through our contact page with a rough idea of the floor, how big it is and what's on it now. We get back to you within one business day to set up a time to come see it.
I look at the slab
I come out, look at the concrete and ask about old flooring and any damp spots, because those decide what the floor needs. Then I walk you through your options and leave a written estimate with each step spelled out. It's free, and there's no obligation.
We prep and install
Once you're ready, our crew preps the floor first, grinding, repairing cracks and taking off old finishes, so the new surface has clean concrete to bond to. Then we put the new surface down and let it cure for the time the coating calls for.
Walk the finished floor
When the floor is done, we walk it with you before we pack up, so you can look it over and ask anything. We'll tell you when it's ready for feet and tires. Every job is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.

About us, a Gilroy floor crew since 2013
I started Gilroy Epoxy Floors & Concrete Coatings here in Gilroy in 2013, after years at a desk and then learning concrete floors from an installer in the valley. Thirteen years on, we're a licensed and insured flooring contractor with 16 services, working in 12 cities that have their own page on this site and others up and down the valley. We're known for careful prep and for explaining your slab before anyone picks a color. You can read more about how we got started and how we work.
Gilroy, where we're based
Gilroy is home base for us, and it's a city with plenty of room to get outside. There are more than 2 miles of walking and biking trails along the Dennis Debell Uvas Creek Park Preserve, which runs from Santa Teresa Blvd. to W. Luchessa, and hiking, picnics and wildlife watching at Christmas Hill Park. The Gilroy Museum is another spot neighbors know, and the local historical society invites everyone to visit.
On jobs around Gilroy we see a lot of garage slabs with years of oil and tire marks, shops and warehouses that need floors to take a beating, and backyard pool decks worn down by summer. When a project needs a permit from the city's Building Division, which issues permits for new development and renovation, we pull it and set up the inspections, and when we're not sure whether one is needed, we check with them before work starts.

Questions about concrete flooring in Gilroy
How much does an epoxy garage floor cost in Gilroy?
The cost depends mostly on the size of your garage and how much prep the slab needs, so we price each floor after seeing it. Cracks, old paint or sealer and damp spots all add prep time, and a flake finish or a faster-curing topcoat changes the material cost. Your free written estimate breaks it down step by step.
Why are some concrete floor coating quotes so much cheaper than others?
The difference is usually prep, because grinding, crack repair and moisture checks take time and equipment, and cutting them is the easiest way to lower a price. A thin coat rolled over a dirty or damp slab can start to peel. Ask every contractor to put the prep in writing, the way our estimates do.
How long does it take to put down a garage floor coating?
It depends on the size of the floor, how much prep it needs and how long your coating takes to cure before you can walk or park on it. Cure times come from the coating maker and change with temperature, so we go over the schedule for your floor at the estimate.
Is your Gilroy flooring company licensed and insured?
Yes, Gilroy Epoxy Floors & Concrete Coatings is licensed and insured. The City of Gilroy also requires every business working in the city to hold a city business license, even if it's based somewhere else, so that's worth asking any contractor about.
Do I need to empty my garage before the floor is coated?
Yes, the floor needs to be clear so we can grind and coat it edge to edge in one go, without seams around boxes or shelves. We'll talk through what has to move, and when it can come back, at the estimate.
Do you guarantee your epoxy floors?
Yes, our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. If you want to know how it applies to your floor, ask me at the estimate and I'll go over it.
Is epoxy or polyaspartic better for a garage floor?
Both work well in a garage, and the better pick depends on how soon you need the garage back and how much sun the floor gets. Epoxy builds a thick, hard layer, while polyaspartic cures faster and holds its color better in sunlight. Plenty of floors use an epoxy base with a polyaspartic topcoat, and I'll show you both side by side.
Why does concrete crack in Gilroy, and can a coating cover it?
Concrete here often cracks because the soil under it moves, and a coating can cover repaired cracks but won't stop a slab that's still shifting. The city notes Gilroy's soil is expansive, the kind that swells when wet and shrinks as it dries. We fill and repair cracks before coating, and if a slab is still moving, I'll tell you before you spend money.
