Next Level Concrete Coatings

Next Level Concrete Coatings takes on concrete and foundation work in Escondido and the rest of North County San Diego. Don runs the outfit with his crew and they focus on epoxy floors, polyaspartic coatings, grind and seal jobs, concrete resurfacing, overlays, staining, grinding and sealing. The business lists service across Carlsbad, Vista, Oceanside, San Marcos, Rancho Santa Fe, Poway, Rancho Penasquitos, Rancho Bernardo and the wider San Diego county area.

Homeowners describe driveway coatings that brought tired surfaces back to a clean finish and changed the look of the whole house. Others had garage floors coated after wanting a shop setup that held up to daily use. Patios with dozens of quarter sized holes from popping concrete got covered instead of torn out. Crews also handled backyard courtyard fixes, front and back patio staining, epoxy on commercial kitchen areas, concrete BBQ tops and even the inside of a fishing boat. Don and Gary handled several of these resurfacing and topcoat projects.

The crew shows up when promised, answers questions during the first visit, and sticks to the quoted price. Reviews note clear explanations of the steps, quick replies to calls and texts, and work finished on the original schedule. They keep the site clean and work around the house with little mess. Service stays inside North County San Diego with the same approach on both small residential jobs and larger commercial ones.

All listed reviews rate the company at five stars. Common points include the solid finish on coated surfaces, steady attention to detail, and how the crew treats every size job the same way. Reviewers note the surfaces look brighter and cleaner after the coatings go down.

“I couldn't be happier with the amazing job Next Level Concrete Coatings did on my driveway! They completely brought it back to life, and the transformation is incredible. What was once a tired-looking driveway is now absolutely beautiful and has completely changed the look of my home. The quality of their work speaks for itself, and the finished product exceeded my expectations. If you're looking to give your concrete a serious upgrade, I highly recommend Next Level Concrete Coatings. They truly live up to their name!”

“I own RSB General Contracting and I have used Next Level for years. Don's work has come out perfect every time!! He has always been on time and finished on schedule. I have used Next Level on projects like Cal Fire headquarters, Taco Bell's back kitchen, outside patios at Taco Bell, and concrete BBQ tops. He even did the inside of my 12' aluminum fishing boat. No pics of cal Fire, it was a long time ago. That being said, I highly recommend Don and Next Level Concrete Coatings for all of your epoxy needs!!!”

“Wow…..What a great result after over a year of looking at our failed concrete after only being poured over a year ago. The new courtyard concrete developed over 100 holes the size of a quarter. The term the supplier used was “popping”. Surface pops due to contaminated agggrigate (rock mixed with the cement). We were heart broken after anticipating many years of enjoyment on our new courtyard we had built. There were only two choices to rectify the issue. One was to have it all torn out or the second was to have some type of coating over the surface. We explored our options after the cement supplier admitted fault and offered us money to get it fixed. After extensive research we decided on using Next Level Concrete Coatings. We spoke with the manufacturer (West Coat Epoxy Coatings) and they highly recommend using a certified approved contractor to do the work. We had options to choose from but decided on Next Level to do the job. We experienced great customer service, on time job completion, quality work and top notch communication throughout the 3-day process. I would recommend Next Level Concrete Coatings to my best friend, boss, family members or anybody looking to get this ty”

“I've wanted an Epoxy floor in my home shop for as long as I can remember. It's a big commitment, and I was worried it may not turn out like the professional shops I've worked. Don put that fear to rest the moment we met for our consultation. Incredibly professional and friendly. He knows his stuff and is passionate about his craft. It shows in the work he and his team perform. Attention to detail and an understanding of what the end use will be led to results I could not be happier with. I've already passed his information along to several other gear heads in my circle, and would highly recommend Don and Next Level for any coating work you need done. An easy five star.”

“I have worked worth a lot of contractors on several projects and I was fed up with the process. Donny and the team at Nextlevel changed my whole opinion on the process.

“Couldn’t be happier with the service we received! Don came over to our house and gave us a good estimate. He was able to change the color of our patio concrete! Highly recommend.”

“I found Next Level Concrete Coatings when I was searching for a contractor to resurface the concrete surrounding my pool deck. Don came out to look at the project and gave me a fair quote. I had numerous questions about the process and Don was happy to answer all of my questions. He was quick to return my calls and text messages. I feel very confident with Don because of his professionalism. I had to reschedule the resurfacing multiple times due to the pool construction delays. Don was very flexible and understanding throughout the process. Unfortunately, Don wasn’t available when I needed him to start the job and I was in a rush to complete the project before the holidays. Although I didn’t go with Don, I wanted to leave him a 5 stars review for his time and advice. I hope to use his service in the future for other projects. You can't go wrong with Don and Next Level Concrete Coatings.”
