Epoxy Flooring in Lauderhill, FL

Epoxy Flooring in Lauderhill often means working with concrete that has been around a long time. The city was incorporated in 1959, and its first houses were small, pre-designed homes, many between 730 and 1,200 square feet. Plenty of those early slabs have seen decades of tile changes, paint and patching. A properly prepared epoxy or polyaspartic coating gives them a clean, sealed surface that stands up to heavy daily use.

Where the city's houses came from

Developer Herbert Sadkin of All-State Properties built Lauderhill's early homes from designs by architect Andrew Geller, the same models shown at the American Exhibition in Moscow and sold through Macy's. Those houses sat on modest lots, roughly 75 by 100 feet. Small homes like these often have a single-car garage, a converted garage or a Florida room on a slab. Each one is a candidate for a coating, and the small footprint keeps the total cost manageable.

A good fit for rental properties

About 55.8% of Lauderhill homes are owner-occupied, which means a large share are rented. For landlords, a coated concrete floor can be a practical alternative to carpet or vinyl in garages, utility rooms and Florida rooms. It resists stains, cleans with a mop and does not need replacing between tenants. Solid-color epoxy with a light flake broadcast is a common choice because small chips and scuffs blend in.

Systems we offer

• Garage floor epoxy for single-car garages and carports with a slab
• Epoxy flake floors for rentals, utility rooms and laundry areas
• Polyaspartic floor coating where a fast turnaround between tenants matters
• Metallic epoxy floors for converted garages and home offices
• Patio and pool deck coatings for back patios and Inverrary-area pool surrounds
• Commercial and warehouse floor epoxy for small shops, salons, auto bays and storage units

Old finishes have to come off

The biggest risk on older Lauderhill slabs is what is already on them. Decades-old paint, terrazzo patches, thinset from removed tile and sealers all interfere with bonding. We use diamond grinding to remove those layers and open the concrete pores. Cracks get filled, spalled areas get patched, and the whole floor is vacuumed clean before primer goes down. It is the slowest part of the job and the part that decides how long the floor lasts.

Inverrary and the condo question

The Inverrary area, north of Oakland Park Boulevard and east of University Drive, grew around a country club that opened in 1970. Condominium and association properties there and elsewhere in the city generally need board approval for work on shared or exterior surfaces. If your project involves a patio, walkway or pool deck owned in common, start with the association. We will provide the paperwork they usually ask for.

Humidity and drying time

Lauderhill's tropical monsoon climate means hot, humid summers. Humidity slows some cure times and can cause blushing on certain epoxies if conditions are not controlled. We watch temperature and dew point during installation and choose products suited to the conditions on the day.
