Commercial · Sacramento, CA
Commercial kitchen epoxy flooring has to handle hot grease, constant washdowns, rolling loads, and health-code scrutiny without peeling or staying slick. Serving Sacramento since 2018, Elite Epoxy Sacramento installs and repairs high-build resin floors that keep kitchens safer, cleaner, and easier to maintain.
Prep and base determine whether a kitchen floor lasts or delaminates. We start with moisture testing (calcium chloride or in-situ RH), map cracks and cold joints, and protect drains, cove base, and stainless equipment legs. Concrete is mechanically profiled with a walk-behind diamond grinder or shot blaster to hit the right CSP, then we degrease and rinse until water breaks clean. Spalls and joints are rebuilt with epoxy mortar and semi-rigid polyurea joint filler, then we prime with a penetrating epoxy to lock down porous slabs and improve bond strength.
Sacramento kitchens see big temperature swings between refrigerated areas, cooking lines, and wash bays, so we select systems for thermal cycling, chemical exposure, and traction. For many back-of-house areas we install a 3/16 inch to 1/4 inch urethane cement (urethane mortar) base because it resists lactic acid, caustic cleaners, and heat shock better than standard epoxy. Where epoxy is the best fit, we use a high-solids 100% solids epoxy build coat with quartz broadcast or aluminum oxide aggregate for slip resistance, then finish with a chemical-resistant urethane or polyaspartic topcoat. We detail toe-kicks, thresholds, and trench drains, and we can add integral cove (4-6 inches) for a seamless cleanable transition at walls.
Sacramento operators choose us because we work like a commercial contractor, not a house painter with a kit. We schedule around your production, coordinate with GC and kitchen equipment vendors, and use low-odor, compliant materials when occupied work is unavoidable. Our crews bring the right equipment (HEPA vac grinders, shot blasters, industrial mixers, and calibrated mil gauges), and we document surface prep, ambient conditions, and cure windows so you get consistent results. When repairs are needed, we match the existing system, feather edges correctly, and fix the underlying cause, moisture, contamination, or movement, not just the visible chip.
Before we wrap, we do a walkthrough to confirm slope to drains, uniform texture, clean terminations, and any punch-list repairs. You receive a written scope, system data sheets on request, and care guidance for autoscrubbers, degreasers, and sanitizers so the floor stays compliant and slip resistant. We can phase work by zones to keep parts of the kitchen open, and we clearly label return-to-service times for foot traffic, wheeled traffic, and full chemical exposure. If you are comparing bids, we will explain the differences between urethane cement, high-build epoxy, and topcoat options so you can choose the right commercial kitchen epoxy flooring system for your operation.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after we review the slab condition, square footage, and the coating system you want.
Sometimes. If the existing coating is well-bonded, we can grind it to a sound surface and recoat; if it is failing, we recommend full removal to bare concrete for reliable adhesion.
Most systems include diamond grinding, crack and spall repair, epoxy primer and base coat, full flake broadcast (if selected), then a polyaspartic or polyurethane clear topcoat with optional anti-slip additive.
We use mechanical grinding plus targeted degreasing where needed. The goal is removing contamination, not hiding it, so the primer can bond directly to clean concrete.
Standard epoxy can amber with UV exposure. For areas with direct sunlight, we typically recommend a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat to help maintain color and gloss.
If your kitchen floor is peeling, slick when wet, or breaking down from hot water and harsh cleaners, commercial kitchen epoxy flooring can be rebuilt into a seamless, sanitary surface. Elite Epoxy Sacramento installs and repairs resinous systems for restaurants, commissaries, breweries, cafeterias, and food production spaces, with a focus on proper concrete prep, chemical resistance, and safe traction.
A commercial kitchen is harder on flooring than most industrial spaces because it combines thermal cycling, grease contamination, and frequent sanitation. Our process starts with moisture testing and contamination removal, then we profile the slab with diamond tooling and HEPA dust control. Cracks, spalls, and control joints are treated with the correct repair materials so movement and impact do not telegraph through the finished surface. From there, we build the system to match your exposure: high-solids epoxy with broadcast aggregate for general back-of-house, or urethane cement where heat, acids, and constant washdowns are routine.
Slip resistance and cleanability must work together. We adjust texture using graded silica sand, colored quartz, or aluminum oxide, then lock it in with a chemical-resistant topcoat selected for your cleaners and disinfectants. We also focus on edges and transitions, doorways, walk-in cooler thresholds, and trench drains, because that is where water intrusion and peeling often begin. When the goal is a truly cleanable floor, we can install an integral epoxy cove (4-6 inches) to eliminate the wall-to-floor seam that traps grime.
For repairs, we identify why the failure happened, moisture vapor pressure, poor prep, or ongoing grease saturation, then remove the weak material and rebuild with compatible resins and proper overlap. You get a written scope, realistic downtime planning, and straightforward maintenance guidance so your commercial kitchen epoxy flooring holds up through service after service.
