Bungalows, Victorians and the garages behind them
The City of Escondido established the district in 1989 and describes roughly 900 homes built from the mid-1880s to date, ranging from small Craftsman bungalows to large Victorians. The boundaries run from 4th Avenue on the north to 13th on the south and from Escondido Boulevard on the west to Chestnut Street on the east. Exterior changes need a certificate of appropriateness; a garage floor is interior work, and nothing on this page suggests a review is or is not needed for it.

Garage and business floor coatings in Old Escondido Historic District
Old Escondido owners ask about:
A narrow one-car garage
A flake or solid color system on a ground slab, with a moisture test first and a threshold detail at the door.
A workshop behind the house
Solid color epoxy with a fine grit, planned around a workbench and tool chests that stay put.
A garage with decades of paint
A test grind and a scrape test to decide between recoating and full removal.
Concrete older than the garage door
A slab poured for a car of another era can have a different thickness, a rougher finish and a history of patches that a coating will show. The installer grinds a test area, checks for moisture and decides the system from what the surface does.
Epoxy floors in Old Escondido Historic District: questions
Does the historic-district designation affect an interior garage floor?
The city's certificate requirement applies to exterior improvements. This site cannot say whether a given interior job needs anything; the City of Escondido and the property owner decide.
Why test moisture in an old garage?
An old slab may have no vapor barrier. A slab with moisture vapor coming up through it can push a coating off, which is why a test comes before the primer.
