Epoxy Flooring in Wrightwood, CA

Wrightwood gets real winters. The town sits at 6,208 feet in the San Gabriel Mountains, and Wikipedia's 1991 to 2020 climate figures show about 61.8 inches of snow a year, with February alone averaging 24.8 inches. Epoxy flooring in Wrightwood is about handling that water. Every storm brings snow, slush and mud into the garage on tires and boots, and bare concrete soaks it up.

Meltwater and grip

When a car pulls in after a storm, snow drops off the wheel wells and melts into puddles. On bare concrete that water soaks in, then freezes and thaws again overnight. January lows here average 25.6 degrees, so that cycle repeats all winter. A sealed floor keeps the water on the surface, where a squeegee can push it out the door.

A wet floor also has to be safe to walk on. Here is how we set up a Wrightwood garage:

• A full flake broadcast for texture across the whole floor
• A fine anti-slip aggregate in the topcoat at walkways and the house door
• Coated stem walls so meltwater does not stain the base of the walls
• A clear check of where water flows so it heads toward the door

Old cabins, old slabs

Wikipedia notes that downtown Wrightwood is dotted with old resort cabins from the 1930s. The community took shape by the 1920s when Sumner Wright's ranch was divided into lots, and it kept growing for decades, from 2,511 residents in 1980 to 4,720 in 2020. That gives Wrightwood a wide range of concrete. Older garage and cabin slabs may be uneven, patched or worn through on top. Newer ones may have a sealer that has to come off. Every floor gets diamond ground, and we tell you up front if a slab needs repair before it can be coated.

Install season in the mountains

A coating needs a warm enough slab to cure. Wrightwood's July highs average about 83 degrees, while January highs average under 48. Late spring through early fall is the easiest window for an unheated garage. In colder months we check slab temperature and may use products rated for lower temperatures, or schedule around a warm stretch. We will not pour on a slab that is too cold.

Wildfire season and outdoor slabs

Wrightwood has been under evacuation orders or warnings for the Blue Cut Fire in 2016, the Bobcat Fire in 2020 and the Bridge Fire in 2024, when the entire town was evacuated. Smoke and ash settle on everything after a fire, including patios and garage floors. A sealed concrete surface cleans up far more easily than bare slab, which can hold soot stains in its pores. If you are planning a patio coating, we can work with your timeline before or after fire season.
