What We Do

Industrial Floor Work We Handle

Interior slabs on grade built to the structural drawings and the flatness your operation needs.

New Warehouse Floors

Interior slabs on grade poured to the drawings for distribution, storage, and manufacturing.

Forklift & Racking Slabs

Thicker, heavily reinforced slabs where concentrated post and wheel loads demand it.

Surface Hardeners

Dry-shake metallic or mineral hardeners troweled in for abrasion resistance in high-traffic aisles.

Joint Repair & Replacement

Failed joints and spalled edges rebuilt and filled; failed sections saw-cut and re-poured.

How It Works

How We Pour an Industrial Floor

The same disciplined process on every commercial pour, coordinated with your GC, engineer, and inspector.

Drawings & Load Review

We review the structural slab drawings and loads, then confirm thickness, reinforcement, and flatness.

Base & Vapor Barrier

We compact the sub-base and place a vapor barrier where the floor calls for it.

Reinforce & Pour

Rebar mat on chairs, dowels at joints, then pump or direct placement with a laser screed.

Finish, Harden & Cure

Hard-trowel finish with a dry-shake hardener where specified, cure per ACI, then saw-cut and fill joints.

Materials & Standards

Slabs That Take a Beating

An industrial floor is the hardest-working slab on the property. Our commercial floor standards:

  • Concrete mix4,000 to 5,000 PSI structural mix for commercial loads; higher PSI with fiber for heavy forklift and truck areas.
  • Reinforcement#4 or #5 rebar mats sized to the loads, with dowels at construction joints. Wire mesh only where the spec allows.
  • BaseCompacted class II road base to 95% Proctor. San Diego County's expansive clay makes proper sub-grade prep essential.
  • JointsSaw-cut control joints on a planned layout, doweled construction joints, and joint filler on industrial floors.
  • CodeBuilt to the California Building Code, including Title 24 accessibility and seismic requirements for structural work.
Pricing & Concerns

Straight Answers on Cost and Scope

Ranges reflect typical San Diego County commercial work. Your firm number comes from a site walk and a set of plans.

What will this cost?

Reinforced commercial flatwork and lots run about $10 to $14 per square foot; industrial floors $13 to $18; tilt-up panels $14 to $32 per square foot of panel. These are San Diego County ranges. Slab thickness, PSI, reinforcement, and access drive the number. We price from your plans and a site walk.

How long does it take?

Commercial timelines depend on size and phasing. We can place large pours in a day, then concrete needs 7 days before traffic and 28 days for full strength. We give you a realistic sequence and dates with the quote.

Do you pull commercial permits?

Yes. As a CSLB-licensed contractor (#1026938) we pull permits through the City of Poway or the County of San Diego and coordinate the sub-grade, reinforcement, and pre-pour inspections.

Can you keep us open during work?

Usually. We phase the work so a lot stays partly open or a building keeps operating from another area, and we schedule around your hours to limit downtime.

Common Questions

Warehouse & Industrial Floors FAQ

How thick should a warehouse floor be?
A typical warehouse slab runs 6 to 8 inches, while floors carrying heavy racking and forklift traffic often go to 8 to 10 inches with a heavier reinforcement mat. The structural engineer sets it.
How much does an industrial floor cost?
A reinforced interior slab typically runs $13 to $18 per square foot, including the rebar mat, hard-trowel finish, and joint work. Floors that need a hardener or a tighter flatness number cost more.
What is a dry-shake hardener?
A metallic or mineral topping troweled into the fresh surface for abrasion resistance. High-traffic aisles and heavy-use floors benefit; lighter-duty storage floors often do not need it.
Can you replace a failed section without tearing out the whole floor?
Yes. We saw-cut and remove the failed area, correct the base, dowel into the surrounding slab, and re-pour just that section so it ties in level.
Why do warehouse floor joints fail?
Joint edges spall when forklift wheels hit an open joint repeatedly. We rebuild the edges and fill the joints with a semi-rigid filler that supports the edge.
How long before we can load the floor?
Concrete reaches about 70% of its strength in 7 days and full strength at 28 days. We hold heavy racking and forklift traffic until the slab has gained enough strength.
