Epoxy Flooring in Lantana, FL

Epoxy flooring in Lantana usually lands on a slab poured in the Eisenhower or Kennedy years. Point2Homes, drawing on Census survey data, shows 21.2% of the town's housing went up in the 1950s and another 17.7% in the 1960s. That is close to four in ten homes built more than half a century ago. Those garages have seen decades of oil, paint, patching and sometimes a coat of hardware-store floor paint that is now peeling.

Why prep is most of the job

A coating is only as strong as its grip on the concrete. On a mid-century Lantana slab, that grip takes work:

• Diamond grinding removes old paint, sealer and the weak top layer of the slab.
• Oil stains get degreased, and deep ones may need extra grinding.
• Cracks and spalls are patched with a filler designed to sit under coatings.
• The moisture reading decides which primer goes down.

All of it is itemized in the quote, so the labor is visible line by line.

Garages that double as gear rooms

Wikipedia lists about 0.60 square miles of Lantana's 2.97 square miles as water. That much water nearby means humid air most of the year, and many homes sit close to the lagoon. Fishing gear, kayaks and boat supplies often share the garage with the car. Chip flooring finished in a chemical-resistant topcoat shrugs off wet coolers, dropped tackle and gas cans without staining.

Renters and owners alike

The same Census summary puts owner occupancy at 52.9% and renter occupancy at 47.1%. Landlords coating a rental garage or a duplex carport often want a floor that hides wear and is simple to clean between tenants. Chips spread edge to edge do both. Owners who plan to stay may prefer a metallic or solid-color system with a thicker topcoat.

Small multi-unit buildings

About 23.6% of the town's housing is in buildings of two to nine units. These small complexes often share a laundry room, a storage area or a covered parking strip. Those floors take heavy use from many people. A coating with good slip resistance and a hard topcoat holds up better than paint, and it can usually be done in a day or two per section.

A publishing past and a working present

Lantana was home base for the National Enquirer during the 1970s and much of the 1980s, per Wikipedia. Today the commercial floors in town are mostly small offices, shops and service bays. We size commercial coatings to the traffic, not to a catalog.
