Garage Coatings for a Whole Community
Our crews work occupied condo and apartment communities, phasing each block around residents so every owner knows the day their car moves and parks back inside soon after. Backed by 12 years in business and our 2-year workmanship warranty, we have coated over 1,187 projects, and board and manager references are available on request.
From the board presentation and the sample panel to the resident notices and the restriped stalls, our team handles the parts of a community job that decide whether it finishes on schedule. Serving Riverside and neighboring Eastvale, El Sobrante and Diamond Bar, we hold the association's schedule, work weekends where residents prefer it, and hand each block back with every stall numbered again.
Request a bid with your unit count, garage or carport layout and board meeting date, and we will bring samples to the property walk.

One Specification for the Community
One written specification is what keeps a community's garages looking like one property, so every bay gets the same system, color and topcoat no matter when its phase runs. Jennifer's community at Eastvale Square showed why: a community block of tuck-under garages with mismatched DIY coatings peeling unit by unit. A board-approved spec names the prep, the basecoat, the flake blend and the clear, and it stays on file so a unit sold later can be matched exactly. We bring a sample panel to the board meeting, because owners vote on what they can hold.
Garages, Carports and Parking Slabs
Shared slabs, carport pads and private garages need the same look but not always the same build. A private garage behind a unit door gets a full flake polyaspartic, the system most El Sobrante and Eastvale tract garages carry, because it hides dust and sheds oil drips. An open carport in Villa Park or North Tustin takes sun on one edge, so its clear coat must be UV stable or it ambers within a season. Slab-on-grade guest parking in San Antonio Heights and Norco gets a textured, grit-loaded topcoat for wet shoes and rain. Elevated decks and podium garages are a different job, covered on our parking deck page.
Community Garage Specifications
- Surface prep
- Mechanical diamond grinding to a CSP 2 to CSP 3 profile on every floor, never acid etching
- Dry film thickness
- 15 to 35 mils on a multi-coat flake system, 40 to 120 mils on high-build and self-leveling floors
- Basecoat solids
- 80% to 100% solids by volume, so the coat does not shrink thin as it cures
- Topcoat
- UV-stable aliphatic polyaspartic clear coat that will not amber in the sun through an open garage door
- Moisture testing
- Every slab tested; above 3 lbs per 1,000 sq ft per 24 hours it gets a moisture-mitigating epoxy primer
- Hot-tire resistance
- Rated for tire contact heat from 140°F to 180°F
- Slip resistance
- 0.60 to 0.85 DCOF with aluminum oxide or polymer grit in the clear coat
- Hardness
- 75 to 85 Shore D, so a dropped wrench or a jack stand does not gouge it
- Compressive strength
- 8,000 to 12,000 PSI, well above the 3,000 to 4,000 PSI of the slab underneath
- VOC content
- 0 to 50 g/L, inside South Coast AQMD limits
- Walk-on time
- 4 to 8 hours on polyaspartic, 18 to 24 hours on 100% solids epoxy
- Park-on time
- 24 to 36 hours on polyaspartic, 72 to 96 hours on 100% solids epoxy
Who Pays: Association or Owner
Who pays for a garage floor depends on the community's governing documents, so we price it both ways before the board votes. Where the association maintains garage slabs as common area, the board funds the whole program from reserves or an assessment. Where each owner holds the garage interior, as in many Victoria Grove and Eastvale tracts, the board approves the spec and owners sign up unit by unit at the association's group price. Apartment owners in Riverside and Claremont simply budget it as a capital item.

Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Community garage coatings are typically budgeted per section for shared blocks, at an estimated $5,500 to $14,000 for each 1,000 to 2,000 sq ft, and per garage for private units. A private two-car garage under the association spec typically runs an estimated $2,800 to $6,200, and a one-car unit an estimated $1,500 to $3,600.
| Job type | Est. investment | Est. duration on site |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial or multi-car facility floor | Est. $5,500 to $14,000 per section (1,000 to 2,000 sq ft) | Est. 3 to 5 days |
| Two-car garage floor, full flake polyaspartic | Est. $2,800 to $6,200 per garage (400 to 576 sq ft) | Est. 1 to 2 days |
| One-car garage floor, solid color epoxy | Est. $1,500 to $3,600 per garage (288 to 392 sq ft) | Est. 1 to 2 days |
Every community figure here is a budgetary estimate and is subject to change. Your written quote, confirmed on bid after the property walk and a count of every garage, carport and stall, sets the final price and the phase schedule, and it depends on the unit count, how much DIY coating must come off and whether residents move their own cars.

Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Jennifer manages a community at Eastvale Square, where a community block of tuck-under garages had mismatched DIY coatings peeling unit by unit. We recommended one flake system across the block, scheduled in two phases with notice to every resident. The community garage block, about 3,200 sq ft, in a polyaspartic flake system, one color across every bay, came in at an estimated $13,000 to $24,000 over an estimated 3 to 5 days. Every bay now has the same finish, with residents parked back inside within a day of their phase.
Notices, Closures and Car Moves
Every phase is scheduled with residents before a grinder arrives, because one owner who comes home to a crew at a full garage can stall a whole block. Each owner in a Woodcrest or Claremont community gets a dated notice for their phase, a reminder before it starts, and a clear park-back time. Each private garage typically takes an estimated 1 to 2 days, and we schedule phases so one side of the community always has guest parking open. Stored items stay with the owner, and we coat around nothing.
Restoring Striping and Stall Numbers
Striping, stall numbers and fire lane markings go back on as part of the job, never as a later add-on, because a carport without numbers turns into an argument by evening. We photograph and measure every stripe and number before grinding, which typically adds an estimated 4 to 8 hours per block, then lay them back in the topcoat once each phase cures. Accessible stalls and fire lanes are restored first in Norco and Woodcrest communities, before any other line.
Why Boards Choose Riverside Epoxy Flooring Group
Boards choose us because 12 years of community programs taught us to bring a written spec, a sample panel and a phase calendar to the meeting, and the crew that grinds the first garage grinds the last one. Our owner reviews every community spec before it goes to a vote, and coating makers' product warranties, typically 5 to 10 years on professionally installed systems, pass to the association in writing.
Community Service Areas
We bid HOA, condo and apartment garage programs across a 45-mile radius of Riverside. Eastvale and El Sobrante bring 2000s tracts with tuck-under blocks, Diamond Bar and Yorba Linda bring hillside condo communities, and Claremont, North Tustin, Villa Park, San Antonio Heights, Norco and Woodcrest bring smaller associations and apartment properties.

HOA and Apartment Garage Questions
Can every garage in the community match?
Yes, one written specification sets the prep, color and clear for every bay, as at Eastvale Square, so a garage coated later matches exactly.
How long are residents out of their garage?
Most private garages are out of use an estimated 1 to 2 days, with a polyaspartic topcoat ready to park on in an estimated 24 to 36 hours.
Does the association or the owner pay?
It depends on your governing documents, so we price both a board-funded program and an owner sign-up at the group price for Riverside County communities.
What does a community program cost?
Shared blocks typically run an estimated $5,500 to $14,000 per 1,000 to 2,000 sq ft section, and your written quote sets the final price.
Will you restore our stall numbers?
Yes, every stripe and stall number in El Sobrante and Diamond Bar carports is measured before grinding and laid back once the phase cures.
Do you present to the board?
Yes, we bring the spec, a sample panel and a phase calendar to the board meeting for Yorba Linda, Claremont and Eastvale associations.
Can you coat carports in full sun?
Yes, carports get a UV-stable aliphatic polyaspartic clear coat that will not amber in the sun through an open garage door or an open carport edge.
