Epoxy Flooring in Adelanto, CA

Adelanto has two kinds of epoxy flooring work for us: garages in its newer subdivisions and floors in its industrial and commercial buildings. The city sits about 9 miles northwest of Victorville. Its population grew from 31,765 in 2010 to 38,046 in 2020, an increase of almost 20% in ten years.

Garages from the 2000s subdivisions

Wikipedia notes that many large suburban subdivisions went up in the southern part of Adelanto, along Highway 18, during the 2000s housing bubble. Property values fell after the 2008 financial crisis. Those homes are now roughly 15 to 25 years old.

Slabs from that period are usually sound. Their common problem is the surface. Production builders often leave a hard, smooth troweled finish, and some apply a clear cure-and-seal. Resin will not soak into either one. A kit coating on that kind of floor often peels within a year or two, starting at the tire paths. We diamond grind the whole slab to open it, then check for the hairline shrinkage cracks that show up in concrete of this age.

Renters, landlords and turnover

The 2020 census found 58.4% of Adelanto's occupied homes were owner-occupied and 41.6% were rented. Many homes changed hands after 2008, and a good number became rentals. Landlords want a garage floor that survives tenant turnover. We usually suggest a flake broadcast floor in a neutral blend with a durable topcoat. It hides oil spots and tire marks, and a scrub and mop gets it ready for the next tenant.

A town planned from the start

Adelanto was founded in 1915 by E. H. Richardson, who invented what became the Hotpoint electric iron. He sold his patent, bought land for $75,000 and laid out one of Southern California's first planned communities. The city incorporated on December 22, 1970.

Industrial and commercial floors

Wikipedia describes a major boom in logistics and industrial building in the region since the COVID-19 pandemic. Adelanto also permits several kinds of cannabis businesses, and a 14-acre indoor cultivation facility opened in 2019. Industrial and grow buildings put different demands on a floor:

• Warehouse and logistics space: forklift traffic, pallet jacks and racking need a thick, hard epoxy system with marked lanes.
• Indoor growing rooms: constant water, nutrient spills and frequent washdowns call for a seamless coating with a cove at the wall and texture for grip.
• Shops and fleet bays: oil, coolant and dropped tools need a chemical-resistant topcoat.

We review the use, the traffic and any cleaning chemicals before we choose a system. For new buildings we also ask how long the slab has cured, since fresh concrete can hold moisture that blisters a coating.

Hot, dry and windy

Wikipedia classifies Adelanto's climate as semi-arid steppe. Summers are hot, and the open desert around the city gives wind and dust plenty of room to move. For home garages that means we keep doors down during each coat on windy days. For large industrial floors, we close bay doors and stage the work so wet sections are not exposed to blowing grit. Sun through open roll-up doors also yellows plain epoxy, so we use UV-stable topcoats near the openings.
