Garage floor concrete, resurfaced or replaced
Full garage slab replacement
We break out the old floor, dig out and pack the base, and pour a new reinforced slab. It suits floors with deep cracks, heaving or settling.
Garage floor resurfacing
A thin layer of new material bonded over the old floor. It suits a slab that's still solid underneath but worn, chipped or dusty on top.
What does a garage floor concrete job in Anaheim involve?
Garage floor concrete work in Anaheim usually means one of two jobs. We either put a new surface over a floor that's worn on top, or we break out a failing slab and pour a new one, and which you need depends on what's going on underneath.
Most calls start with cracks running across the floor, a top that chips or turns to dust, or a section that has dropped where water pools. The price moves with the size of the garage, whether resurfacing will do, whether the old slab has to be broken out and hauled away, and how much work the base needs. The schedule turns on clearing out the garage and the days the new concrete needs before your car goes back in. When I come out, I measure and give you an estimate for your own floor.
Our garage floor work, from base to coating
Before I quote, I look closely at the cracks and the slab itself, so I can tell you plainly whether resurfacing makes sense or the floor should be replaced.
Digging out the base
Budget cuts usually start with the base, but we dig out and pack it because a floor laid on loose dirt settles with it.
Pouring before the heat
We schedule the pour early, before the midday heat, because concrete that dries too fast ends up with a weak, dusty top.
Cutting control joints
We cut control joints on time, shallow grooves that give the slab a straight line to crack along instead of one across the middle.
Ready for a coating
If you plan to coat the floor later, I'll explain what the concrete needs first, so the coating goes onto a floor that's ready.
The work around the garage
If the ground beside the garage needs holding back, we build concrete retaining walls, and decorative concrete can finish the walk leading to it.
Why Anaheim homeowners choose Advanced Anaheim Concrete Company
I started this business in 2017 to work on homes people already live in, after my early years pouring concrete on new construction. What sits under a garage floor is what you live with, so we give the parts you won't see the same care as the surface.

Questions about garage floors in Anaheim
Can my garage floor be resurfaced, or does it need to be replaced?
A floor with hairline cracks, surface flaking or a powdery finish is usually a good candidate for resurfacing. Deep or widening cracks, a heaved slab, soil washed out underneath or tree roots lifting it call for more, because nothing put on top fixes what's happening below.
How long does garage floor resurfacing last compared to a new slab?
One guide expects a properly installed overlay, the resurfacing layer, to last about 8 to 15 years, against 20 to 30 years for a full replacement. If you plan to stay in the house many years, that longer life is a good reason to lean toward replacing the slab.
How much does a new garage floor slab cost in Orange County?
A concrete slab in Orange County usually costs about $7 to $14 per square foot, according to one pricing guide, and reinforced slabs, the ones with steel rebar inside to hold them together, run somewhat more than plain pads. That's the area's going rate rather than our price, so I'll measure your floor and give you an estimate for it.
How long does a new concrete garage floor take before I can drive on it?
You can usually walk on a new slab within 48 hours, but concrete takes a month to fully cure, the slow hardening that gives it strength. To be safe, you may want to keep the car and anything heavy off it for a week, so plan where those will go until then.
Do I need a licensed contractor to pour a garage floor in California?
Usually, yes, because California's contractor license board counts forming, pouring and finishing flat concrete as concrete contractor work. State law lets an unlicensed person take minor work only up to $1,000, and only when the job needs no permit and that person employs no one on it.
What is the best way to get a garage floor ready for a coating?
The concrete has to be old enough, clean and dry enough first, because a floor that looks dry can still be too young or too contaminated for a coating to hold. The plasticizers that rub off tires, oil, curing compounds and moisture can all affect how well it sticks, so mention your coating plans when I come out.
Other work around your garage
Decorative concrete
When the concrete around your garage is sound but plain, a colored or textured finish can tie the walkway and entry together with the new floor.

If your garage or driveway sits against a slope, a retaining wall keeps the soil where it belongs instead of letting it crowd or wash under the concrete.

A new garage floor often shows how worn the driveway in front of it has become, and replacing both can give you one level, matching surface.

Garage floor concrete in Anaheim and nearby cities
Anaheim's Building Division issues the city's permits, and the city requires one before a structure is built, repaired, altered, removed or demolished, while cosmetic work needs none. Its permit list doesn't name every kind of work, so rather than guess about your floor, we check. When a job needs a permit, we handle the application with the city, and when we're unsure what the city wants, we ask the division before we start. You're also welcome to call them yourself at (714) 765-5153 + 0 for help making that call.
Garage slabs around Orange County usually sit at the thicker end of the four to six inches that house floors run here, because they carry a car, so when I quote a replacement I'll tell you the thickness I'd plan for yours and why. We see the same worn, cracked garage floors on jobs in Fullerton and Garden Grove, and we work across Orange County and nearby, so please call even if your city isn't listed.
