The problem we see

Ocean Ridge waterfront homes get coastal-grade coatings on a tight schedule. Quiet, careful, professional.

How we approach it

Before any coating goes down, the concrete underneath has to be sound. Cracks, spalls, pop-outs, exposed rebar, prior coating failures — all of it has to be addressed first or the new system will fail through the prep, not the topcoat.

What to expect on the day

We do crack chasing (V-grooving and filling with polyurea), spall patching (epoxy mortar), full joint detailing, and slab leveling with self-leveling underlayments where the floor isn't flat enough for a coating. We also remove failed paint, sealers and prior epoxy with shot blasting or aggressive diamond grinding.

What sets us apart

On older slabs, we can also do a full overlay — a thin cementitious resurfacer that gives you a brand-new substrate to work from. Great for badly damaged garage floors, patios with surface erosion, or any slab where the existing concrete is past saving.

Getting a quote

We do this work as standalone repair (you handle the topcoat with someone else) or as part of a full coating system (one crew, one warranty). Most folks bundle it.

The bottom line

Quote process is photos and square footage, then we'll come out for a free in-person eval if the damage is significant — repair scope drives the price more than anything else.

What's included

Every install comes with the same checklist. No surprises.

  • Crack inspection and chasing (V-grooving)
  • Polyurea joint and crack filler
  • Epoxy mortar spall repair
  • Pop-out and divot patching
  • Failed coating removal (grinding or shot blasting)
  • Moisture testing per ASTM F1869
  • Self-leveling underlayment (where needed)
  • Cementitious overlay for severely damaged slabs
  • Full substrate prep for follow-on coating
  • Photo documentation before and after

How it works

1

Free quote

Send a few cell-phone photos of the slab plus the rough square footage and we'll send back a real number — what's included, what it costs, no pressure. Most quotes go out the same day.

2

Schedule & prep

We pick a day that works. The day of, we move what needs moving, mask off walls and trim, then diamond-grind the concrete down to a clean profile. Prep is 80% of the job.

3

Install

Primer, base coat, decorative media (if applicable), and a polyaspartic or epoxy topcoat. Depending on the system, the floor goes from bare concrete to finished in one to two days.

Cure & walkthrough

Walk-on traffic in 12–24 hours, full vehicle traffic in 48–72. We walk the floor with you before we leave and don't invoice until you've signed off.

Why this matters in Palm Beach County

South Florida humidity is brutal on concrete

South Florida humidity sits at 70%+ for nine months of the year, and Palm Beach County concrete almost never fully dries out. That moisture transmission is the single biggest reason builder-paint garage floors and discount epoxy kits peel within a year. We test for it on every job.

Why hot slabs need real chemistry

Hot summers also mean hot slabs. A garage floor in Wellington in August can hit 110°F. Standard epoxy chemistry softens at that temperature, which is why hot tires lift it right off. Polyaspartic and high-quality industrial epoxy don't have that problem.

Coastal salt and UV exposure

Coastal Palm Beach properties — Palm Beach, Manalapan, Highland Beach, Juno — also fight salt mist and intense UV. Standard epoxy yellows in months under direct sun. UV-stable polyaspartic topcoats are the only correct topcoat for anything that sees outdoor light.

Western Palm Beach realities

Western Palm Beach (Wellington, Loxahatchee, The Acreage, Westlake) deals with bigger slabs, heavier loads, equestrian wash bays and workshops. Industrial-grade systems with quartz broadcasts or aggressive flake handle the abuse where residential kits fail.

Local install timing that pays off

Direct salt and humidity demand UV-stable, moisture-tolerant systems with extra prep care.

Signs it's time to call us

If any of these sound familiar, you're overdue.

Hot tire pickup or peeling on the existing concrete surface coating
Powdery residue or chalking when you wipe a finger across the slab
Visible cracks, spalling or pop-outs in the concrete
Stained, oil-darkened or chemically etched concrete that won't clean up
Original builder paint or sealer that's failing in patches
You want a finish that's easier to clean and looks like a showroom

What affects the price

Every slab is different. These are the things we look at when we quote.

  • Square footage of the slab
  • Condition of the existing concrete (cracks, prior coatings, oil contamination)
  • Substrate prep needed (diamond grind, shot blast, crack chasing, patching)
  • System chosen (flake epoxy, metallic, polyaspartic, polished concrete, quartz)
  • Number of coats and topcoat type (UV-stable polyaspartic adds cost but lasts longer)
  • Color and decorative options (custom flake blends, metallic pigments, line striping)
  • Access — gated communities, stairs, elevators, after-hours requirements
  • Moisture mitigation if testing shows elevated vapor transmission
