Los Gatos epoxy floor coatings
Yes, we pour floors in Los Gatos
Los Gatos is the last town before 17 climbs over the hill to Santa Cruz. Downtown is Victorian storefronts and restaurants, Vasona Lake sits on the north side, and the streets climb from there into the hills. It is a short run down 17 from where we start in San Jose.
This is where metallic floors come up most. A three car garage with a collection in it, an entry that opens onto a view, a home gym or a studio: the floor is part of the room, and a hand poured metallic makes it the best thing in it. Read how Josh pours metallic epoxy floors before you pick a palette.
What a Los Gatos slab is actually up against
Hillside concrete, mostly. Garages cut into a slope carry ground moisture on the uphill side, and a coating that is not tested for it can lift from underneath. Josh checks the slab for moisture before he picks a system, and on a wet slab the primer and the build change to suit it.
Then there is the standard. A Los Gatos show garage is not a place for a thin kit coating that hazes and peels. The metallic layer is the art and the polyaspartic topcoat is the armor: it takes hot tires, dropped tools and sunlight through an open door, and it keeps the gloss.
What we handle here
Floors we pour in Los Gatos
Flake and Solid Garage Floors
The job Los Gatos asks for most: a gray slab that has been catching oil, dust and tire marks for years. We grind it back to open concrete, fill the cracks, roll the base coat and seal it under a polyaspartic topcoat. Here is a garage floor coating.
Hand Poured Metallic Floors
The floor Josh is known for. Reflective pigment moved by hand through wet resin, so the floor has veins and movement and never repeats. Entries, studios, showrooms and show garages in Los Gatos. See a metallic show floor.
Rooms Inside the House
Studios, gyms, laundry rooms, mud rooms and converted garages on a slab. The old floor comes up, the slab gets ground, and a sealed coating goes down that you can live on. Same build we use on residential flooring installation.
Shop, Studio and Warehouse Floors
Los Gatos businesses run on floors that take carts, boots and spills all day. A coated floor stands up to that and cuts the cleaning down to a mop, and we work around your opening hours. Have a look at shop and warehouse floors.
Why Los Gatos calls us
Why Los Gatos homeowners call Josh
Joshua Rodriguez owns this business and pours every metallic floor himself. He brings sample panels to the estimate, approves the palette in your light, then works the pigment by hand on the day. Nothing about the finish is left to a crew you have never met.
He is honest about the limits of the trade. If a hillside slab is moving or wet beyond what a coating can carry, he will say so rather than coat over it.
Where you will find us around Los Gatos
Downtown along North Santa Cruz Avenue and the streets behind it, Almond Grove and the Glen Ridge area, carry the older homes. Vasona Lake and Oak Meadow Park sit on the north edge near 17, and the hillside neighborhoods climb south and west of town toward the Lexington Reservoir.
Old town garages are small and their concrete has age on it. The hillside homes have bigger garages, newer slabs and more moisture to think about. Different problems, same first step: grind it and read what the concrete tells us.
Where we work
Pouring metallic, flake and commercial floors across Los Gatos
We cover Los Gatos end to end, from downtown out to the hillside streets and Monte Sereno next door. The same truck runs north to floor coatings in Campbell and on to our Santa Clara service area and the Sunnyvale page.

Straight answers about your epoxy floor questions
Do you actually come into Los Gatos?
Yes. It is about fifteen minutes from our San Jose base down 17. Send the form and Josh will set a time to look at the slab.
Can you do a metallic floor in a garage I actually park in?
Yes. The metallic layer is sealed under a polyaspartic topcoat that takes hot tires and dropped tools. Plenty of show garages are daily drivers too.
My garage is cut into a hillside. Is moisture a problem?
It can be. Josh checks the slab for moisture before he picks a system, and a wet slab gets a different primer and build. Testing first is what stops a coating lifting from underneath.
Do you fix cracked or sunken concrete in Los Gatos?
No. Josh coats and pours over sound concrete, he does not repair it. If a slab needs structural work, get that sorted first and then we can talk about a finish.
How long is a metallic pour out of use?
Usually two to three days: the grind and base coat, the pour, then the topcoat. The floor is walkable the day after the topcoat and takes tires a few days later. You get the dates in writing before the grinder shows up in Los Gatos.
Can I see the colors before you pour?
Yes. Josh mixes sample panels so you approve the palette in daylight, in your Los Gatos home, before the first bucket is mixed.
