Industrial & Residential Resinous Flooring Solutions
A comprehensive look at our commercial-grade surface preparation, residential garage transformations, and industrial resinous flooring installations across Ventura, Oxnard, and Camarillo:
Husqvarna Rotary Diamond Grinding & Dust Extraction: Every installation begins with complete mechanical profiling using industrial planetary diamond grinders tethered directly to commercial HEPA vacuum systems. We mechanically grind through existing sealers, laitance, and micro-fractures to achieve a CSP-2/CSP-3 concrete surface profile without using chemical or acid washes.
Industrial Moisture-Mitigation Epoxy Primer: To eliminate the risk of delamination from coastal ground vapor, we install a high-solids moisture-block epoxy base coat. The resin wicks deep into the diamond-ground concrete pores, providing a permanent mechanical root and resisting hydrostatic pressure.
Residential Flake System with Integrated Stem Walls: Precision broadcast of multi-tone decorative vinyl flakes across the floor plate, seamlessly rolled up the perimeter concrete stem walls to provide a watertight, monolithic finish that protects structural framing from moisture, oils, and chemical spills.
Commercial Workshop & Hangar Coating: Full-broadcast flake matrices engineered for large-span vehicle bays, auto shops, and private workshops, sealed with high-solids polyaspartic clear coats for maximum tire-plasticizer defense and abrasion resistance.
Seamless High-Gloss Industrial Surfacing: High-spec, solid-color resinous flooring installed across manufacturing and cleanroom footprints, delivering a mirror-sheen, ultra-flat surface engineered to withstand continuous forklift operation, heavy equipment loads, and aggressive sanitation protocols.

Note: Our furniture is made of solid wood (not wood veneer over plywood). It is handcrafted by Master Artisans. Real wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike. Variations in solid wood grain patterns are to be expected and make each furniture uniquely beautiful, just like us humans.

This residential garage transformation in Ventura, California, showcases the impact of comprehensive mechanical surface prep paired with seamless perimeter stem wall protection. To guarantee a permanent bond, the entire slab and high vertical concrete curbs were mechanically profiled using a rotary diamond grinder and hand edge grinders paired directly to a commercial HEPA dust-containment vacuum system. We applied an industrial high-solids epoxy base coat across the floor and wrapped the tall stem walls, creating a watertight barrier that guards adjacent drywall against wash-downs, moisture intrusion, and daily wear. The wet base was saturated with a 100% full broadcast of decorative charcoal-blend vinyl flakes to build a durable, slip-resistant impact layer, then locked down with a UV-stable clear protective topcoat engineered to permanently repel hot-tire pickup, beach sand abrasion, and automotive fluids. The result is a showroom-grade floor installed by C&N Decorative Concrete (CSLB #908395) that delivers commercial-grade durability and effortless daily maintenance.

This complete kitchen overhaul in LaVista focused on maximizing natural light, optimizing workflow, and creating a seamless transition into the primary living area.
To expand the home's visual footprint and flood the kitchen with daylight, we removed the solid wall where the original range hood sat and opened up the rear elevation with a custom window wall. Achieving a clean, uninterrupted ceiling line required structurally recessing multiple 9” LVL beams flushed into the joist space.
We completely reconfigured the layout by relocating primary appliances to optimize the work triangle and building a custom central peninsula—creating an inviting bridge between the kitchen and living room for prep work and entertaining.
Key Design & Construction Details:
• Cabinetry: Custom dark paint-grade solid wood cabinetry with dovetail drawer box construction and integrated soft-close trash pullouts
• Surfaces: Pristine Quartz countertops paired with a timeless, classic subway tile backsplash
• Fixtures & Lighting: Undermount sink equipped with a matte black pull-down faucet, exterior-vented stainless steel range hood, recessed LED ceiling lighting, and under-cabinet task lighting
• Structural & Site Execution: Full electrical and plumbing rough-ins, structural beam recessing, and comprehensive site dust-containment protocols
Service Areas:
Serving Decatur and Intown Atlanta, including Ansley Park, Atkins Park, Avondale Estates, Brookhaven, Buckhead, Candler Park, Chamblee, Druid Hills, Eastlake, Edgewood, Emory, Grant Park, Inman Park, Kirkwood, L5P, Lake Claire, Lenox Park, Morningside, North Druid Hills, Oak Grove, Oakhurst, Ormewood Park, Piedmont Heights, Piedmont Park, Poncey Highlands, Scottdale, and Virginia Highlands.

The renovation at 20 Ellsworth Avenue was designed to expand the home's footprint while creating brighter, more functional living spaces for modern family life. Working alongside the architectural team at Stone's Throw Design Inc., the project combined a rear addition with a comprehensive renovation that thoughtfully blends new construction with the home's original character.
The basement was expanded and underpinned to create a spacious recreation room, a flexible study and guest bedroom, a full washroom, and ample storage. Mechanical systems were modernized throughout with a new high-efficiency furnace, cold-climate heat pump, and upgraded electrical service.
The new rear addition transformed the main floor with a custom kitchen that opens onto a suspended concrete patio through French doors. A large picture window and two operable skylights fill the space with natural light, while a new powder room and hardwood flooring throughout complete the updated layout. Upstairs, the main bathroom was fully renovated, and fresh paint throughout the home provides a clean, cohesive finish.
A standout feature of the project is the handcrafted kitchen, designed and built in collaboration with Blue Skies Handmade Kitchens. Every cabinet was custom built using traditional inset face-frame construction, mortise-and-tenon joinery, and solid brass hardware before receiving a hand-brushed finish that seamlessly blends with the home's original millwork.
At the centre of the kitchen sits a one-of-a-kind cherry prep table, crafted from a tree felled during the 2013 ice storm and carefully milled and stored for over a decade before finding its home in this project. Low- and zero-VOC finishes were used throughout, and every handcrafted cabinet was designed to be repairable and refinishable—creating a beautiful kitchen built to last for generations.
