Epoxy and polished concrete flooring in Manhattan Beach
Four Manhattan Beach floors, all residential: two flake epoxy garages, a metallic epoxy living space and a polished concrete residence. If you are looking at your garage slab and wondering what it could be, this is the page.
Manhattan Beach projects
Everything we have done here has been in a home. Garages dominate, which is usual for the streets around here: two-car slabs, often with steps down from the house, and owners who want something that cleans up with a hose.
| Project | Finish | Area | On site |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residence | Polished concrete | 1,000 sq ft | 4 days |
| Residence | Metallic epoxy | 800 sq ft | 5 days |
| Garage with steps | Flake epoxy | 400 sq ft | 2 days |
| Garage | Flake epoxy | 400 sq ft | 3 days |
| 4 projects | 2,600 sq ft | 14 working days |
Each project has its own page with before and after photos, the finish and the day count.

What Manhattan Beach floors usually need
Garages
A two-car garage is around 400 sq ft and takes two to three working days: one to grind and patch, one to coat, and time to cure before you park on it. Flake epoxy is what most people here choose. It hides dust, it takes a hose, and the flake gives enough texture that the floor is not slippery when a wet car comes in.
Garages with steps
Plenty of houses here have a step or two down from the house into the garage. Steps are fiddly: they need the coating carried over the nose cleanly and some grit in the top coat so they stay safe underfoot. One of the garages on this page is exactly that job, and it is worth looking at if yours is the same.
Living space
Metallic epoxy and polished concrete both turn up inside homes here. Metallic gives you a poured, marbled look with real depth. Polished concrete gives you the slab itself. The 800 sq ft metallic floor took five working days and the 1,000 sq ft polish took four.
Coastal slabs
Close to the water, moisture through the slab is the thing that breaks coatings. We test before quoting. If the reading is high we will say so and point you at a finish that will survive it, rather than selling you a coating that lifts in two years.
A garage quote takes about twenty minutes on site, and it is free.
What a Manhattan Beach floor costs
These are the ranges we actually quote. What moves a job up the range is the condition of the slab, not the size of it.
Commercial polished concrete
$3 to $12+ per sq ft
Slab condition and the gloss level you specify set the number.
Commercial epoxy
$6 to $15 per sq ft
The coating system and how deep the prep goes set the number.
Garage and residential epoxy
$6 to $15 per sq ft
A two-car garage typically lands at $1,800 to $4,500.
Grind and seal with restoration
$3 to $8 per sq ft
How much repair the slab needs first sets the number.
Minimum project size is 400 square feet. Quotes are free and done on site. We would rather look at the slab than guess at it over the phone.

Common questions
How much does a garage floor cost in Manhattan Beach?
A two-car garage typically lands at $1,800 to $4,500, which works out at $6 to $15 per square foot. What moves it is how much the slab needs repairing first, and whether there are steps.
How long before I can park on it?
Two to three working days on site, then we tell you how long to stay off it. Foot traffic comes back sooner than vehicle traffic, and we give you both numbers before we start.
Flake or metallic for a garage?
Flake, in most cases. It hides dust and tyre marks, it gives grip when the floor is wet, and it costs less. Metallic is beautiful but it belongs in living space more than under a car.
Will it peel?
Not if the prep is right. Coatings fail for two reasons: the slab was not ground properly first, or moisture is coming up through it. We diamond-grind every floor and we test moisture before quoting.
