Epoxy Flooring in Berkeley: Services & Pricing

Berkeley homeowners share a common trait: they care about quality, sustainability, and making thoughtful investments in their homes. Epoxy flooring aligns perfectly with those values — it's durable, low-waste, low-maintenance, and delivers stunning results that last 15+ years.

Brooks & Company Epoxy is based right next door in Oakland, making Berkeley one of our most frequently served cities. We know Berkeley's neighborhoods, housing styles, and the specific conditions of Berkeley concrete.

Services Available in Berkeley

Garage Epoxy Flooring

Berkeley's mix of Craftsman homes, mid-century modern, and newer construction means garages range from detached single-car structures to integrated two-car spaces. We work with all of them.

Pricing:

• One-car garage: $2,800 (50% deposit — $1,400)
• Two-car garage: $4,000 (50% deposit — $2,000)

Every project includes diamond grinding preparation, crack repair, moisture testing, commercial-grade epoxy, and protective topcoat. The result is a seamless, chemical-resistant, easy-to-clean floor with a 15+ year lifespan.

Berkeley's older homes — particularly the brown-shingled Craftsmans and early stucco homes near the university — have garages with concrete floors that have had decades to develop cracks and accumulate layers of paint and sealer. Our diamond grinding process removes all previous coatings and treatments, and our crack repair addresses decades of settlement.

Berkeley homeowners frequently convert their garages into multipurpose spaces — workshops, home gyms, art studios, and organized storage. A professional epoxy floor is the foundation that makes these conversions feel finished and intentional.

Metallic Epoxy Flooring

Berkeley's appreciation for design and art makes metallic floors a natural fit. These floors use metallic pigments suspended in epoxy to create three-dimensional, flowing effects that change appearance depending on lighting and perspective.

Pricing: $10 per square foot with a 50% deposit

Popular applications in Berkeley:

• Home studios and creative spaces
• ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) flooring — Berkeley's ADU boom has created demand for distinctive, durable flooring options
• Entertainment spaces and home bars
• Upscale garage conversions
• Yoga and wellness studio spaces

Each metallic floor is genuinely one-of-a-kind — the metallic pigments create organic patterns during application that can never be exactly replicated.

Countertop Epoxy

Berkeley kitchens — from the compact cookspaces in Thousand Oaks cottages to the open layouts in hills homes — benefit from countertop epoxy's combination of beauty, durability, and affordability.

Pricing: $1,000 to $2,500 with a $500 flat deposit

Epoxy is applied directly over existing countertops (laminate, tile, wood, or concrete), so there's no demolition and no weeks of waiting. The finished surface is heat resistant to 500°F, food-safe when cured, and lasts 10+ years. For Berkeley homeowners who prefer minimal waste and disruption, this is a significant advantage.

Berkeley Neighborhoods We Serve

We serve all Berkeley neighborhoods:

North Berkeley: Northbrae, Thousand Oaks, Cragmont, Solano Avenue area, La Loma Park — tree-lined streets with some of the city's most sought-after properties. Many homeowners use their garages as home offices and creative studios, which benefit enormously from sealed, dust-free floors.

Central Berkeley: Downtown, UC Berkeley campus area, Elmwood, Claremont, Panoramic Hill — the Elmwood and Rockridge border areas share a walkable, well-maintained character. Epoxy is a smart investment here because it protects concrete while requiring essentially zero maintenance.

South Berkeley: Lorin, Ashby area, South Berkeley, Willard — a mix of single-family homes and multi-unit residential buildings where both homeowners and landlords benefit from durable, low-maintenance garage floors.

West Berkeley: Industrial area, Fourth Street, Berkeley Marina area, Aquatic Park — modern conversions and creative spaces where metallic epoxy creates eye-catching floors.

Hills: Grizzly Peak, Tilden, Upper Claremont, Panoramic Way, Fish Ranch Road area — larger lots with two-car configurations where hillside moisture management is important. We perform thorough moisture testing and apply vapor barrier primer when needed.

We also serve Albany and El Cerrito, Berkeley's neighboring cities to the north.

Berkeley-Specific Considerations

Environmental Values

Berkeley homeowners tend to be environmentally conscious, and epoxy aligns with those values:

• Resurfacing over replacement: Countertop epoxy reuses your existing substrate, keeping demolition waste out of landfills
• Longevity reduces waste: A 15+ year floor means fewer replacements and less material consumption over time
• Low VOC options: Professional-grade epoxy systems with low VOC formulations are available
• No ongoing chemical treatments: Unlike surfaces that need annual sealing products, epoxy requires only soap and water for maintenance
• Energy efficiency: High-gloss epoxy floors reflect light, reducing the need for additional garage or basement lighting

ADU and In-Law Unit Conversions

Berkeley has been a leader in the Bay Area's ADU movement. Many homeowners are converting garages, basements, and additions into rental units or in-law apartments. Epoxy and metallic flooring provide a durable, attractive base for these conversions at a fraction of the cost of hardwood or tile.

University Area Rentals

Property owners with rental units near UC Berkeley benefit from epoxy's extreme durability. Student housing takes a beating, and epoxy floors withstand heavy use without staining, scratching, or wearing through — reducing turnover maintenance costs significantly.

Academic and Research Facilities

Berkeley's identity is inseparable from UC Berkeley and its research institutions. We also serve small labs, workshops, and research spaces that need durable, chemical-resistant flooring. Epoxy creates a seamless, non-porous surface that's easy to decontaminate and resists chemical spills.

Climate and Conditions

Berkeley's climate is similar to Oakland's but with some distinctions:

• Berkeley Hills: Cooler temperatures and more fog/moisture than the flatlands. We account for this with temperature monitoring and appropriate cure-time allowances.
• Flatlands (West Berkeley): Warmer and drier, with conditions closer to downtown Oakland. Generally ideal for epoxy year-round.
• Seismic resilience: Like all Bay Area cities, Berkeley sits near active fault lines. Epoxy's flexibility with the concrete slab makes it more earthquake-resilient than rigid tile flooring.
• Year-round installation: Berkeley's mild climate allows installation throughout the year. We optimize scheduling around weather forecasts for best results.
