Epoxy Flooring in Margate, FL

Epoxy flooring in Margate often begins with a simple request: make the garage or patio safer and easier to keep clean. Margate became a town in 1955 and a city in 1961, when much of the land was still Everglades or farmland. Its name joins the first letters of founder Jack Marqusee's surname with the word gateway, because it was the gateway to western Broward County. Many of the homes and villas built in those first decades are still standing, and so are their original slabs.

Land that used to be wet

The city grew on ground that was drained for development. Concrete placed on former wetland and farm soil can settle unevenly over time, and the joints and cracks in an older Margate garage often show it. Before we coat anything, we look at how cracks have moved, whether one side of a crack sits higher than the other, and whether a slab sounds hollow when tapped.

How we treat an older slab

• Grind the surface to open the concrete and remove old paint or sealer
• Route out cracks and fill them with a repair material that bonds to the coating
• Level low spots and spalls so water does not pond on the finished floor
• Leave control joints where the slab needs to move

A crack that keeps opening is a structural question, and a coating cannot hold it together. If we see one, we tell you before quoting.

Footing and safety at home

In the 2020 census, 21.5% of Margate residents were 65 or older, and 15.4% of households had someone 65 or older living alone. A floor that is slick when wet is a real hazard in a garage, a laundry area or on a pool deck. We add a fine aggregate to the topcoat for grip, keep transitions at door thresholds flat, and avoid high-gloss finishes outdoors. A broadcast flake floor gives traction and also hides dust, which means less mopping.

Getting the space back quickly

Nobody wants to be locked out of a garage for a week. Polyaspartic Floor Coating cures much faster than standard epoxy, and on many jobs it lets you walk on the floor the same day and park sooner after. We give you the exact times in writing, since they depend on the product, the temperature and the humidity on the day.

Inland heat and rain

Margate is about seven and a half miles from the Atlantic Ocean, so it does not get the salt spray that beachfront cities do. It does get the heat and the rain. The city has a tropical rainforest climate bordering on tropical monsoon. For outdoor work we start in the early morning, watch the radar, and use a UV-stable topcoat on anything that sees sun.
