Epoxy Flooring in Palm Springs, FL

Epoxy flooring in Palm Springs has to account for water that was put there on purpose. Wikipedia says a chain of artificial north-to-south lakes linked to canals was engineered in 1957 to drain the land, which had been the Boutwell dairy farm. Homes along those lakes and canals often sit on slabs that stay damp from below. A moisture test tells us which primer the floor needs before any coating goes down.

A village that grew fast

By August 1958, about 800 homes had been built, per Wikipedia, along with a water and sewer system costing about $1.5 million. Many of those first houses still stand, and their garages often have:

• Thin or uneven slabs from early building methods.
• Several coats of old paint that need grinding off.
• Settling cracks and spalls near the garage door.
• Old oil stains that need degreasing.

Storm damage history

Hurricane Wilma in 2005 destroyed 5 homes and damaged 2,462 others in the village, with about $6.1 million in damage. Many garages were repaired after Wilma, and patched slabs can take coatings differently. We grind and test each section so the coating bonds well everywhere.

Growing households

Palm Springs grew about 42% between 2010 and 2020, the fastest of any municipality in Palm Beach County, per Wikipedia. More people often means busier garages: extra cars, bikes, storage and sometimes a workshop. A flake floor with a hard topcoat hides wear and wipes clean.

A village that keeps expanding

Palm Springs has been growing through annexation since 1998, per Wikipedia, so its borders now take in neighborhoods built in many different decades. Two garages a few streets apart can need very different prep. We price each one after seeing the slab.

A tropical setting

Wikipedia classes the village's climate as tropical rainforest, bordering tropical monsoon. Warm, humid air is normal for much of the year, so we schedule early starts and check the dew point before every coat.
