Epoxy Flooring in Lighthouse Point, FL

Epoxy flooring in Lighthouse Point usually starts with a garage that doubles as a boat shed. Most of the city sits on canals dug in the 1950s and 1960s, so a large share of homes back onto the water. That means outboard motors, fuel cans, rods, coolers and wet lines stored on bare concrete. A sealed floor gives that gear a surface that rinses clean and does not soak up fuel or bait drips.

What a waterfront garage goes through

A boat owner's garage takes more abuse than a commuter's. Here is what we see on these slabs:

• Gasoline and two-stroke oil spots under motors and tanks
• Salt residue carried in on trailers, wheels and wet gear
• Rust rings from anchors, chains and metal racks
• Standing water after hosing down equipment

Bare concrete takes all of that in. A coated floor keeps it on the surface. We usually recommend a broadcast flake system with a clear polyaspartic topcoat for these garages. The flake hides small marks and the texture gives grip when the floor is wet.

Back patios that face the water

The space between the house and the seawall is where people spend their evenings. Those patios get full sun, rain and spray from the canal. Our patio and lanai coatings use a textured, UV-stable finish so the surface does not turn yellow or slick. Before coating, we fill cracks and check that water drains away from the house and toward the canal side.

Homes from the first building years

The city traces its settlement to Hillsboro Isles around 1947 to 1951. It became a town in 1956 and a city in 1957. Many houses from that era have been remodeled more than once. The garage floor may carry old paint, a worn sealer or patches from past plumbing work. We grind all of that away so the new coating bonds to clean concrete, and we repair spalls and cracks first.

Owners who are away part of the year

The 2020 census counted 5,856 housing units in Lighthouse Point, and 13.8% were vacant at the time. Some owners split the year between here and somewhere else. If you will be out of town, we can plan the job so that the floor is fully cured before you return. A polyaspartic system can return a garage to use quickly, which helps when the schedule is tight.

How we run a canal-side job

We start with a visit to measure the garage and patio and look at the concrete closely. We note fuel stains, rust, old coatings and any cracks near the seawall side. You get a written quote that lists the square footage, the prep and each coat. On the day, we move gear out with you, grind the floor, fill cracks and lay the system in order. Before we leave, you get written times for foot traffic, putting the boat gear back and parking. We also show you how to clean the floor after a day on the water: a rinse, a soft broom and a mild cleaner are enough.
