A single pigmented epoxy color, rolled edge to edge over ground concrete and sealed with a UV-stable topcoat, gives your floor a bright, tidy finish.
Solid color epoxy flooring is a seamless, single-color resin coating applied over prepared concrete to create a clean, uniform surface. Elevate Epoxy Flooring diamond grinds the slab, builds a pigmented epoxy system, and finishes it with a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat for garages, shops, and interiors across the Santa Clarita Valley.
A solid color epoxy floor is the cleanest way to turn tired, stained concrete into a bright, even surface. Instead of broadcasting chips or swirling pigments, the installer rolls one pigmented resin across the slab, so the finished floor reads as a single continuous color with no seams or grout lines to collect dirt. Homeowners in Santa Clarita, Valencia, and Saugus often choose it for garages that double as workshops, while business owners in the San Fernando Valley and Antelope Valley use it for showrooms, storage rooms, and service bays. It reflects light well and gives everything parked or stored on it a tidy backdrop.
Elevate Epoxy Flooring is a service-area business based in Santa Clarita, and we travel to jobs across the Santa Clarita Valley, the San Fernando Valley, Simi Valley, and the Antelope Valley. Concrete in this region can carry oil stains, old paint, hairline cracks, and the pitting that comes from years of salt and heat. A solid color system covers all of that with a uniform finish, but only when the slab is prepared correctly first. That is why our work starts with grinding and repair rather than with the color you see on top.
Every job begins with diamond grinding, which removes surface contamination and creates the bonding profile the coating needs to grip. Cracks and divots are filled, and the slab is vacuumed until it is free of dust. Where moisture is a concern, a moisture-barrier epoxy basecoat goes down first. Pigmented epoxy is then squeegeed out and back-rolled to an even thickness, and a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat seals in the color against scratches, chemicals, and sunlight. Because the materials are VOC-free, odor stays low during installation, which matters when the work is happening in an attached garage or a lived-in home.
Solid color floors are chosen from the solid collection on the color chart, which runs from classic grays and charcoals to bright whites, warm tans, and bolder shades. After the color is set, the topcoat decides the sheen. A gloss finish bounces light around and makes a dim garage feel larger. Satin gives a softer glow that hides minor marks. Matte delivers a flat, modern look with the least glare. Lighter colors brighten a room but show dust sooner, while mid-tone grays are forgiving day to day. Compare the chart against the lighting in your own space before you decide.
Solid color epoxy suits spaces where you want a clean, controlled look and easy upkeep. In homes that means two-car garages, laundry rooms, basements, and hobby shops. In commercial settings it covers retail back rooms, small warehouses, auto bays, maintenance areas, and studio spaces. Because there is no flake or pattern to hide behind, it works especially well when you plan to add safety striping, zone markings, or a simple border in a second color. It is also a sensible choice when a business wants the floor to match brand colors or a consistent interior palette.
A solid color floor is easy to maintain. Sweep or dust mop regularly, since grit is the main thing that dulls a glossy surface over time. Damp mop with a neutral cleaner and warm water, and wipe up spills such as oil, brake fluid, and coolant when they happen instead of leaving them for days. Skip harsh abrasives and stiff-bristled scrubbers. Felt pads under workbench legs and shop equipment prevent scuffing, and a squeegee handles wet-weather tracking. The polyaspartic topcoat resists hot-tire pickup, so vehicles can come and go without leaving the marks that plague uncoated or poorly coated concrete.
A solid color system takes about 3 days from the first grind to the final topcoat, because pigmented layers need time to firm between coats. Most floors can take light foot traffic the day after the topcoat goes down. Vehicles typically return after roughly three more days, and heavier loads or furniture are best held off until the coating has hardened further. Full chemical cure usually arrives around a week after installation. Your installer will confirm exact timing, since temperature and humidity can nudge the schedule slightly.
Pick solid color when you want a bold, clean, single-tone surface and are not looking for texture or visual movement. Flake finishes in one day and hides dirt and imperfections better with its speckled look. Metallic offers marbled depth no other system can match, at a longer install time. Quartz and sand finishes add grip and a more textured feel. Grind and seal is the leanest choice for plain concrete that only needs protection. Solid color sits in the middle: smooth, polished, and easy to coordinate with walls and cabinets.
With no chips or seams to trap grime, a solid color coating wipes clean quickly. The unbroken finish also keeps small spills from working into joints or rough patches.
One pigment covers the whole slab, hiding old stains, patched cracks, and uneven concrete tone. The result is a crisp, consistent look from wall to wall.
Cured epoxy stands up to oil, antifreeze, cleaners, and household chemicals. A quick wipe is usually enough, and the surface does not soak up stains the way bare concrete does.
The polyaspartic topcoat is formulated so warm tires do not lift or mark the coating after a drive. Your floor keeps its finish through daily parking.
Sun through a garage door or showroom window can fade lesser coatings. A UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat helps the color hold steady in bright Southern California light.
Elevate backs the bond between coating and concrete with a limited lifetime adhesion warranty, so a properly prepared slab stays protected long after the job is finished.

It is a pigmented, two-part resin coating that bonds to prepared concrete and cures into a smooth, hard, single-color surface. Unlike flake or metallic systems, it has no added chips or swirling effects. Elevate finishes it with a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat for added scratch, chemical, and sun resistance.
Solid color epoxy runs $9.50 to $11.50 per square foot, which generally puts a project between $3,800 and $4,600. For comparison, our minimum project is $2,600, flake is $6.50 to $10 per square foot ($2,600 to $4,000 for a two-car garage up to 400 square feet), metallic is $12.50 to $18.50 ($5,000 to $7,400), quartz is $9 to $16.50 ($3,600 to $6,600), and grind and seal is $6.50 to $9 ($2,600 to $3,600).

A solid color floor generally takes 3 days from start to finish. Day one covers diamond grinding and repairs, the following days build the pigmented layers and the topcoat. Your crew will give you a specific schedule before work begins so you can plan around parking and access.
Pigmented epoxy covers discoloration, oil marks, and old paint. Cracks are filled and ground smooth first, so they will not telegraph through the finish in most cases. Very active structural cracks can move again over time, and we will tell you honestly if a particular crack needs separate attention.
Yes. The color comes from the pigmented epoxy and the sheen comes from the topcoat. Gloss is the brightest and most reflective, satin is softer, and matte is the flattest with the least glare. Many customers pick satin for garages and gloss for showrooms.
A smooth gloss surface can be slick when wet. If your floor will see water, such as a wash bay or a garage near a driveway, ask about adding a fine slip-resistant additive to the topcoat, or consider a quartz or sand finish instead for better traction.
Elevate provides a limited lifetime adhesion warranty on its coatings, which addresses the bond between the system and your prepared concrete. It is a limited warranty, so we will walk you through exactly what it covers and what normal wear or misuse falls outside of it.
A 20x20 garage is 400 square feet. Our installed prices for it run from $2,600 to $4,000 for a flake system, with solid color, quartz, metallic, and grind and seal falling in other ranges. The final number depends on the system you choose and the condition of the slab.
Read the answer →Choose flake for the best value and the most forgiving look, solid color for a clean uniform floor, and metallic for a one-of-a-kind showpiece. Flake takes about one day, solid color three days, and metallic three to four. Flake costs $6.50 to $10 per square foot, solid $9.50 to $11.50, and metallic $12.50 to $18.50.
Read the answer →The real downsides are installation downtime, scratches under sharp impact, yellowing when an epoxy-only topcoat sees sun, slipperiness when wet without texture, and failures caused by moisture or poor prep. Most can be reduced with proper grinding, a moisture-barrier basecoat, a UV-stable topcoat, and added texture.
