THE ARTIST
A Certified Resin Artisan
Gold Coast Resin is not a franchise. It is not a side hustle. It is a certified resin artistry studio founded by a craftsman who left everything behind to chase the one thing that made him feel alive: transforming plain concrete into breathtaking works of art.
Based in Hollister, California and serving a 160-mile radius across Central California, Johnny Mendoza brings Miami-trained expertise and genuine artistic passion to every epoxy flooring project he touches. From residential garages to commercial showrooms, every floor tells a story of precision, creativity, and an uncompromising commitment to quality craftsmanship.
Whether you have seen Gold Coast Resin’s signature metallic floors lighting up a barbershop or a flawless flake coating anchoring a family garage, you have witnessed Johnny’s philosophy in action: every square foot matters, and every client deserves a floor that feels custom because it genuinely is.
A Journey Built on Passion
Johnny Mendoza did not stumble into epoxy flooring by accident. He sought it out. After years of feeling unfulfilled in a conventional career path, Johnny made the bold decision to invest in himself and travel to Miami, Florida, where the nation’s most respected resin artisans were pushing the boundaries of what epoxy flooring could be.
In Miami, Johnny trained directly under JP Resin and Don Resin, two of the most recognized names in the resin flooring industry. These mentors did not just teach him how to mix and pour. They taught him how to see a floor as a canvas, how to read the way light plays across metallic pigments, how to control the chemistry so that every pour flows exactly as intended. Johnny earned his certifications and absorbed every technique, every trick, every hard-won lesson his mentors had to offer.
When Johnny returned to Hollister, he brought something the Central California market had never seen before: true artisan-level epoxy craftsmanship backed by nationally recognized certifications. He founded Gold Coast Resin with a simple premise: every homeowner and business in the region deserves access to the same caliber of resin work you would find in high-end studios in Miami, Los Angeles, or New York.
What started as a one-man operation driven by passion has grown into a trusted family-operated business. Gold Coast Resin remains rooted in the same community where Johnny grew up, serving neighbors, local businesses, and families across San Benito, Santa Clara, Monterey, Santa Cruz, and surrounding counties. The business thrives because Johnny never compromises on materials, never cuts corners on preparation, and never treats a project as just another job.
I didn’t just learn a trade in Miami. I discovered what I was meant to do. Every floor I create carries the knowledge my mentors gave me and the fire I brought with me.Johnny Mendoza, Founder
CANVAS
At Gold Coast Resin, we reject the assembly-line mentality that plagues the flooring industry. We do not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions, cookie-cutter color charts, or rushing through a project to chase volume. Instead, we approach every single floor as a unique creative opportunity that demands care, skill, and an artist’s eye for detail.
Our process begins long before the first coat of epoxy hits the concrete. Johnny personally consults with every client to understand how they use their space, what aesthetic resonates with their vision, and what performance demands their floor must meet. A metallic epoxy for a residential kitchen requires different considerations than a heavy-duty flake system for an industrial garage, and we treat each project with the individual attention it deserves.
The craftsmanship difference is visible in every detail. Our surface preparation is meticulous because we know the most stunning topcoat in the world will fail without proper adhesion. Our material selections are premium because we have seen what happens when contractors cut costs with inferior products. Our application techniques draw directly from the training Johnny received from the best in the business, ensuring consistent results that stand the test of time.
This is not about selling floors. It is about creating lasting impressions. When you walk across a Gold Coast Resin floor, you should feel the difference. The depth of the metallic swirl. The seamless uniformity of the flake broadcast. The mirror-smooth finish that makes cleaning effortless. That is what artisan-level epoxy craftsmanship looks like, and it is what every Gold Coast Resin client receives.
Precision First
Every surface is diamond-ground and tested for moisture before a single drop of resin is poured. We measure twice and pour once because shortcuts destroy floors.
Creative Vision
Metallic flows are never random at Gold Coast Resin. Johnny manipulates pigments with heat and tools to create intentional patterns that elevate each space beyond the expected.
Honest Craft
No bait-and-switch pricing. No upselling materials you do not need. We quote fairly, communicate clearly, and deliver exactly what we promise on every project.
Johnny does not just install a floor. He creates an experience. From the moment he walked through our door for the consultation to the final reveal, every step was professional, personal, and genuinely exciting. Our garage looks like a showroom now.Happy Client in Hollister, CA
BEAUTIFUL
Every great floor begins with a conversation. Tell Johnny about your space, your vision, and your goals. Whether it is a residential garage, a commercial showroom, or a creative project that pushes the boundaries of what epoxy can do, Gold Coast Resin is ready to make it happen.
