Coated, polished and stained floors
Flooring contractor work in San Francisco CA, from epoxy to terrazzo
Slabline San Francisco Epoxy Flooring is a flooring contractor in San Francisco, CA, and nearly everything we do starts with the concrete under your feet. Across 16 services we coat it, polish it, stain it, level it or strip it back, depending on what your slab can carry and how you use the room. The price moves with the size of the floor, how much prep the slab needs and the system you choose. The schedule turns mostly on moisture in the concrete and how long each coat needs to cure. Your own figure and timeline come from the estimate, where I see the floor in person.
Epoxy Floor Coatings
We lay epoxy, a tough two-part resin, over concrete in homes, shops and storage rooms so the floor cleans easily and stands up to daily wear. It's the work we're best known for.
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
Running a shop, warehouse or back room that sees carts, forklifts and spills every day? We put down heavier epoxy systems built for that traffic and plan the work around when you can close.
Garage Floor Coatings
Oil stains, hot-tire marks and dust coming off a bare slab are why most garage calls come in. We grind the concrete, fill the cracks and coat it so it wipes clean.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
What's polyaspartic? It's a coating that cures much faster than epoxy and holds its color in sunlight, so it suits garages and rooms you need back sooner.
Metallic Epoxy Flooring
We pour metallic epoxy, a resin with mica pigments that swirl into a pattern like stone or moving water, for living spaces, showrooms and bars where the floor is the feature.
Urethane Cement Flooring
For commercial kitchens, breweries and food plants, we install urethane cement, a coating that handles hot water, steam and harsh cleaners better than standard epoxy.
Polished Concrete Flooring
We grind the slab you already have through finer and finer pads until it shines. You end up with a hard, low-upkeep floor and no coating on top to peel.
Stained Concrete Flooring
Want color without a coating? We stain the concrete itself so the shade soaks in and shows the slab's natural marks, then seal it.
Terrazzo Flooring
We lay terrazzo, chips of marble or glass set in a binder and ground smooth, for entries, lobbies and homes that want a floor with real character underfoot.
Basement Flooring
Basement slabs often push moisture up from below, so we test the concrete first and then pick a coating or sealer that can live with it.
Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation
Most coatings that peel had a problem in the slab first. We grind off old coatings, glue and the weak top layer so whatever goes down next has clean, open concrete to grip.
Concrete Sealing
Is your bare concrete dusting, staining or soaking up spills? A sealer slows that down, and we pick the type that fits how the floor gets used.
Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays
When a slab is pitted, flaking or patched but still sound underneath, we put down a thin cement overlay. You get a fresh, even surface without tearing the old one out.
Self-Leveling Concrete & Overlays
We pour self-leveling underlayment, a cement mix that flows out flat on its own, to even out sloped or wavy floors before new flooring or a coating goes on.
Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
A pool deck that's cracked, faded or hot underfoot can be resurfaced or coated. We use a textured finish so the deck is less slick when it's wet.
Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal
Old tile, carpet glue, paint or a failed coating has to come off before anything new can stick. We strip it down to bare concrete and keep the dust under control while we do.
How a job goes with us, from first call to finished floor
You call or send the form
Call (415) 918-5395 or fill out the form with a few lines about your floor and what's bothering you. We get back to you within one business day to set up a time for me to come out. The visit and the estimate are free, and there's no obligation.
I check the slab and lay out your options
I come out myself, look at the floor and check the slab for moisture and old coatings. Then I walk you through the systems that suit it and what each one means for your schedule. Old tile, mastic, dust and any city rules come up here too, so you know what the job involves before you decide.
Our crew preps, coats and hands it back
If you go ahead, our own crew does the work, with a lead installer running the job day to day. We prepare the concrete first, because that decides how the top holds up. Then we put down the system we agreed on and show you how to care for it.

Your slab gets checked before we pick a coating
I check the concrete for moisture and old coatings before I recommend anything, so the system we put down suits the slab you actually have. A coating that fights its slab usually lets go.
Most of our time goes into prep
Peeling and bubbling usually start in the concrete before anyone opens a can. So our crew spends the hours grinding, cleaning and repairing the slab, because that work decides how well the finished floor holds.
Quotes you can compare on the same terms
I explain each choice in plain words and give you the questions to ask any contractor. That way you're comparing quotes line for line, ours included.
One person from estimate to finish
The person who looks at your floor is the one who plans the job and answers when you call. Our lead installer runs the crew on site, so you always know who to ask.
Questions we hear, answered plainly
How much does an epoxy floor cost in San Francisco?
It depends on your floor, and I give you your figure once I've seen it at a free estimate. Prep moves the price more than most people expect, because a bare, sound slab costs far less to coat than one with old tile, glue or a peeling coating to remove first. The system matters too, since a single epoxy coat costs less than a full flake or metallic floor.
Why are epoxy floor quotes so different from one contractor to the next?
Most of the gap is prep, so a low quote often skips the moisture test, grinds less or puts down thinner coats. Ask every contractor how they'll test the slab, how they'll prepare it and how many coats go down, then compare those answers along with the price.
How long does it take to coat a garage floor?
It depends on your slab and the coating you pick, so I give you the schedule at the estimate rather than a guess over the phone. Cracks, old coatings and heavy grinding add time up front, and epoxy usually needs longer to cure than polyaspartic before you can park on it.
Is Slabline licensed and insured for flooring work in San Francisco?
Yes, we're licensed and insured. Our own crew does the work, with a lead installer running each job day to day, so you know who's on your floor.
Can you put epoxy over old tile or a peeling coating?
Usually not, because a new coating holds only as well as whatever is under it. We strip tile, mastic, the black glue that held the tile down, and failed coatings back to bare concrete, then grind the slab so the new system grips the concrete itself. Our grinders run with vacuums to keep the dust down.
Do you guarantee your epoxy and concrete floors?
Yes, our promise is your satisfaction, guaranteed. We back it up where it counts, in the prep, because a coating that peels or bubbles usually had a problem in the slab before anyone opened a can.
Is epoxy or polyaspartic better for a garage floor?
Neither wins on every slab, but for most garages I like an epoxy base coat with a polyaspartic topcoat. Epoxy builds thickness and grips prepared concrete well, and the polyaspartic on top holds its color when sun comes through the open door. If you need the garage back quickly, a full polyaspartic system can make sense, and we'll talk it through at the estimate.
Do I need a permit for a new floor in San Francisco?
It depends on the room and the work, and San Francisco's Department of Building Inspection is the office that issues permits in the city. The department's list of work that needs no permit includes floor coverings outside bathrooms when the existing required flooring stays in place, so a bathroom or a tear-out can change the answer. Permit questions come up at our estimate, and when a job needs one, we help you work through it with the city's building office and do the work to what the permit asks.
Working in San Francisco
San Francisco is a city and a county at once, so one local government covers every neighborhood, down to the building office that handles permits. The places most people here know include the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park, the Randall Museum in Corona Heights with its nature, science and art programs, and the coastal park at Sunset Dunes with its new skate space. San Francisco Recreation and Parks has more on each.
The city also has designated landmarks and landmark districts, and SF Planning's Historic Landmarks Map shows where they are. On jobs around San Francisco we see a lot of garages tucked under the house, older basement slabs and shop floors that have been patched for years, and that's the concrete we're here to fix. We're based in the city, so a floor here is close to home for us.
