Epoxy Flooring in El Mirage, CA

El Mirage sits next to El Mirage Lake, a dry lakebed in the western Victor Valley. The Southern California Timing Association has run timed speed runs on the lakebed for about 50 years, and the Bureau of Land Management now runs the area as the El Mirage Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation Area. Epoxy flooring in El Mirage reflects that. A lot of the floors we look at here hold race cars, dirt bikes, side-by-sides and the tools that keep them running.

A floor that can take a wrench day

Shop floors in El Mirage see more abuse than a typical suburban garage. Jack stands, creepers, dropped parts, gear oil, coolant and brake fluid all end up on the concrete. Bare slab drinks those fluids and stains for good. We recommend a thicker epoxy build for working shops, with a flake broadcast or an aggregate for grip and a chemical-resistant topcoat.

Useful extras for a shop floor:

• A contrasting border or work zone so tools stand out
• Coated stem walls so washdown water does not stain the drywall line
• Puck or plywood pads under jack stands and motorcycle stands

Lakebed dust comes home with you

A dry lake is fine silt. After a day out on the playa, that dust rides home on tires, suspension and boots and lands on the garage floor. On bare concrete it packs into the surface. A sealed floor lets you sweep or blow it out and hose off what is left. A flake finish hides the light film between cleanings.

Show garages

Not every El Mirage garage is a wrench space. Some owners keep a finished race car or a restored truck on display. For those, a metallic epoxy gives a poured, glossy floor that looks good in photos, with a clear topcoat to protect it from tire marks.

Desert extremes

NOAA and National Weather Service data on Wikipedia give El Mirage a July average high of 98 degrees, a record high of 112 and a record low of 1 degree. Annual rain is about 5.41 inches, and snowfall averages only about an inch. Big swings between day and night mean the slab moves. We grind every floor so the coating bonds into open concrete, and we plan pour times around the temperature: early starts in summer, later starts on cold winter mornings.

Rural desert parcels

El Mirage is unincorporated and about 12.5 miles northwest of Adelanto. Homes sit on open desert land, and many owners have a detached shop or a large garage. We can coat both in one visit and price them separately.

How the work goes

1. We visit, measure the shop and garage and look at cracks, stains and old coatings. 2. We ask how you use the space so the system matches the work. 3. You get a written quote listing prep, each coat and the price for each building. 4. We grind, repair and coat in order, with doors closed while coats are wet if the wind picks up. 5. You get a written schedule for foot traffic, equipment and vehicles.

We only coat concrete. If a slab has a problem that a coating will not fix, we say so before you pay for a floor.
