Commercial Epoxy Flooring in Gilroy, CA

Gilroy's working floors

A lot of Gilroy's economy runs on concrete. Food processing and packing, garlic and produce handling, farm equipment, distribution off Highway 101 and the Pacheco Pass corridor, contractor yards, auto and truck repair. Each of those floors has its own problem. Some take daily hot water wash-downs. Some see oils, solvents or fertilizer. Some take a steady line of pallet jacks and forklifts. Bare concrete dusts, stains and soaks up all of it.

A commercial coating seals the slab so it can be cleaned, brightens the space and helps inspections go smoothly.

Systems we install

• High-build epoxy. A thick, tough floor for warehouses, shops and storage.
• Epoxy with broadcast quartz or flake. Adds texture for wet areas and hides wear in busy spaces.
• Chemical-resistant topcoats. For shops that handle fluids, cleaners or fertilizers.
• Safety striping. Painted lanes, forklift paths and hatched zones built into the coating.
• Polished concrete. For showrooms and retail that want a low-maintenance look, see polished concrete.

Food and ag spaces

Food spaces need floors that can be sanitized and do not hold water. We install seamless coatings with integral cove bases where the floor meets the wall, so there is no crack for dirt to collect. Grit levels are set for wet floors. For rooms that get very hot water or steam, we talk about specialty systems built for those conditions. We do not certify food safety programs, but we can install floors that make them easier to meet.

Working around your business

A floor job cannot shut you down for a week. We can work in phases, one section or bay at a time, so the rest of the building stays open. Nights and weekends are often possible. Fast-curing systems can put a section back in service the next day. We plan the schedule with you before we bring in a grinder.

Prep for commercial slabs

Commercial floors often come with old coatings, glue from removed flooring, oil soaked deep into the concrete, or worn joints chewed up by forklift wheels. We use large diamond grinders and shot blasting where needed, all with industrial dust collection. Joints get filled with a semi-rigid filler that supports forklift wheels. Cracks are repaired before coating. Where oil is deep, we treat it so it does not push the new floor off.

What drives the price

• Square footage and the number of phases.
• Slab condition and how much old coating has to come off.
• The system and thickness chosen.
• Striping, logos, cove base and joint work.
• After-hours scheduling.

Commercial questions

Loading docks, wash bays and cold rooms

The toughest spots in most Gilroy buildings are where the inside meets the outside. At a loading door, trucks track in grit from the yard, and the slab edge takes a pounding from pallet jacks rolling over the dock plate. In a wash bay, hot water and degreaser run across the floor every day and drain toward a trench. In produce and garlic handling, cold rooms sweat when the doors open on a hot afternoon, leaving a film of water on the floor. Each of these zones gets its own build. We thicken the coating at dock edges, slope-friendly textured finishes in wash areas, and moisture-tolerant primers where condensation is common. Drains and trench edges get extra detailing so water runs off instead of creeping under the coating.

We also talk with you about cleaning chemicals. Some sanitizers and degreasers are harder on coatings than others, and choosing the right topcoat up front keeps the floor from dulling or softening in a year or two. If you send us the product sheets for what your crew uses, we will match the system to them.

Finally, we leave you with a simple care sheet for your staff: what to mop with, what to avoid and how to handle a spill so the floor stays bright.
