Powder Coating for Cabinets – Orange County Powder Coating Experts
If you’re looking to upgrade your garage or workspace, powder coating your cabinets is one of the smartest choices you can make. It’s tough, low-maintenance, and looks amazing. In Orange County, where the heat and humidity can wear down lesser finishes, powder coating delivers the durability you need with the clean, modern style you want.
Powder coating is a dry finishing process where a coloured powder is electrostatically applied to metal, then heat-cured to create a smooth, hard finish. It’s incredibly resistant to scratches, chips, UV rays, and chemicals. Perfect for steel or aluminium cabinets, it beats traditional paint hands down in both looks and lifespan.

Powder Coating Process
Prep & Clean
We start by thoroughly stripping and cleaning your cabinets to make sure the powder sticks properly. This includes removing old paint, grease, and any surface imperfections. Proper prep is the most important part—it ensures a flawless bond and a smooth finish that won’t chip or peel. Especially in Orange County, where moisture and heat can impact adhesion, we take extra care during this phase to set your cabinets up for long-term durability and great looks.
Powder Application
Once the cabinets are prepped, we apply the powder coating using an electrostatic spray gun. The powder sticks to the surface thanks to the electrical charge, which helps it wrap around corners and edges for full coverage. This step is fast, efficient, and completely solvent-free—making it eco-friendly too. With a wide range of colour and texture options, this is where your vision starts coming to life. Want a matte black or a glossy red? We’ve got you covered.
Curing
After the powder is applied, your cabinets go into a special curing oven where they’re baked at high temperatures. This process melts and bonds the powder to the surface, creating a smooth, rock-hard finish that’s resistant to chips, scratches, and chemicals. It’s what gives powder coating its legendary durability. The curing step is essential—especially in high-use environments like garages. When it’s done right (and we do it right), you get a finish that’ll last for years.
Install
Once your cabinets have cooled down from curing, we handle the final installation. This means securely mounting the cabinets and making sure everything lines up perfectly. We work cleanly and efficiently, respecting your time and space. By the time we’re done, you’ll have beautifully finished, professionally installed cabinets that look like they came straight from a showroom. And the best part? We do it all with minimal disruption to your day—because your time matters.
Our Garage Epoxy Installation Process
Surface Prep
We start by grinding and cleaning the concrete to remove dirt, stains, and old coatings. This step is key for long-lasting results—it opens up the surface so the epoxy can bond properly. A clean, smooth foundation sets the stage for a flawless, professional-grade finish.
Primer & Base Coat
Next, we apply a high-performance primer and base coat. This strengthens the bond between your floor and the epoxy layers above. It also evens out imperfections and ensures maximum durability. Think of it as the sturdy base that helps your new garage floor stay tough, smooth, and long-lasting.
Decorative Layer
This is where your garage gets its personality. Choose colored flakes for a textured look or go bold with metallic pigments. We customize this layer based on your style, whether you want subtle and clean or eye-catching and modern. It’s the fun part that brings the whole floor to life.
Topcoat Sealing
To protect all that work, we seal it with a topcoat that adds UV resistance, gloss, and durability. It locks in the look and keeps your floor safe from wear, chemicals, and sunlight. You’ll get a smooth, glossy finish that’s as strong as it is stunning—built to handle real life.
Cure Time
Once we’re done, your floor is walkable in just 24–48 hours. For heavier use like parking or machinery, we recommend a full cure time of 5–7 days. We’ll always work around your schedule and keep you updated, so downtime is minimal and everything flows smoothly.
Find Garage Epoxy Installers Near You
Local Experience
Hiring a local installer matters more than you think. A company with experience in your area understands how the regional climate affects epoxy curing and longevity. For example, extreme heat or moisture can change how epoxy bonds and dries. Local pros also know what styles and finishes are popular in your neighborhood. Plus, they’re nearby if you ever need touch-ups or maintenance. You’ll get personalised service from someone who truly knows the conditions your floor will face.
Proven Results
Before hiring anyone, take a look at their track record. A trustworthy installer should be proud to show off real before-and-after photos, testimonials, or even walk you through past projects. Good reviews speak volumes. You want someone who consistently delivers high-quality results and leaves customers satisfied. If they can’t show proof of happy clients and great-looking floors, it’s a red flag. Proven results give you peace of mind that you’re making the right investment in your garage.
High-Grade Materials
Not all epoxy is created equal. Some contractors cut corners with low-quality materials that fade, peel, or wear down fast. Look for installers who use industrial-grade epoxy systems—these are thicker, more durable, and hold up better under cars, tools, and daily use. High-quality materials also mean better gloss, colour retention, and resistance to chemicals or stains. It’s worth asking what brand or system they use. Investing in premium epoxy means your floor will look better and last longer.
Clear Quotes
No one likes surprise costs halfway through a project. A reliable epoxy installer provides clear, upfront quotes that break down all costs—materials, labor, prep work, and optional upgrades. It’s a good sign when a contractor takes time to explain the pricing and answer your questions. Transparency builds trust and ensures you’re getting good value. If someone rushes the quote or adds fees later, that’s a red flag. You deserve to know exactly what you’re paying for—no guesswork.
Frequently Asked Questions:
With the right prep and maintenance, epoxy garage floors can last over 10 years—and often much longer. We’ve seen well-installed floors hold up beautifully for 15+ years, especially with occasional topcoat refreshes. The key is keeping the surface clean, avoiding harsh chemicals, and repairing any deep gouges early. Our team uses high-quality, industrial-grade materials that are built to last. So when you choose us, you’re getting a floor that’s not just stylish—it’s seriously durable for the long haul.
Absolutely! Cracks are very common in garage concrete, and we take care of them before the epoxy is applied. During the prep stage, we fill and level out any cracks or pits to create a smooth surface. This step ensures the epoxy bonds properly and looks seamless when finished. We never apply epoxy over untreated damage—that’s just asking for problems later. With the right prep, your floor ends up flawless, strong, and ready to handle years of use.
Epoxy floors can be slippery when wet—but not when you add anti-slip additives, which we include by request. These additives create a textured surface that helps improve traction, especially in garages where water or oil may be present. We’ll work with you to find the right balance between safety and style. Whether you prefer a light grit or heavy-duty texture, we’ll make sure your garage floor looks great and performs even better—without being a slip hazard.
Pricing depends on a few things—square footage, prep work, and your chosen finish (like flakes or metallic effects). On average, a standard 2-car garage epoxy floor starts around $1,500 to $3,000. We offer free quotes so you’ll know exactly what to expect. No hidden fees, no surprises—just honest pricing and expert results. Whether you’re going for a simple solid color or a high-end flake system, we’ll help you choose a solution that fits your style and budget.
