Epoxy Flooring in Royal Palm Beach, FL

Epoxy flooring in Royal Palm Beach starts with a question about the ground. Wikipedia describes the village as having grown from a primarily uninhabited swamp, and a large drainage project came before the 1959 charter. The water was moved, not removed. The village still has myriad waterways, a 19-acre lake at Royal Palm Beach Commons and the 773-acre Pines Natural Area with wet prairie. That means groundwater sits fairly close to many slabs.

Moisture comes first

When moisture vapor pushes up through concrete, it can lift a coating off the floor in blisters. On every job here we:

• Test the slab with a meter or a calcium chloride kit before quoting a system.
• Look for white powder, damp spots or dark edges that point to vapor.
• Use a moisture-tolerant epoxy primer when readings call for it.
• Record the readings right on your quote, so the results are in front of you.

Two building waves

Point2Homes data dates 34.4% of homes to the 1980s and 29.7% to 2000 through 2009. Wikipedia notes a 1979 push to sell land to builders, followed by about 15 years of strong growth. A 1980s slab has had decades of oil and wear, so it needs a heavier grind. A 2000s slab usually needs less, though builders sometimes left a curing compound or sealer that must come off before coating.

An owner-occupied village

The same Census summary shows owners living in 82.3% of occupied homes, and 65% of units are single-family detached. Long-term owners often turn the garage into extra living space: a gym, a workshop or a hobby room. Metallic epoxy, or one solid color under satin, can make the garage feel like part of the house.

A bird sanctuary village

Wikipedia notes that the whole village is designated a bird sanctuary. Outdoor work here means keeping dust and debris contained. We use vacuum-attached grinders that capture most of the dust at the source, which also keeps it out of your house and your neighbor's pool.

Tropical weather

The village has a tropical monsoon climate, per Wikipedia, similar to much of the Caribbean. Humid air is the normal condition, so we check the dew point before every coat and plan the cure around afternoon storms.
