Pompano splits at the Intracoastal. East of it the buildings are mostly shared and take salt year-round. West of it are established single-family streets from the fifties and sixties, and a belt of older commercial blocks that have been in service for decades.
Both get read before they get quoted. On the water that means finishes made for salt and carefully sealed edges. Inland it means checking whether moisture is moving up through a slab poured straight onto fill. We are fifteen minutes south in Dania Beach.
Usually yes. Age by itself is not the problem — moisture coming up through the slab is, and a lot of older houses here were built without a barrier underneath.
We check the slab before quoting. If the reading is high we put a barrier down first; if it is clean, nothing extra is needed.
Not a problem, but it does change what we put down. Salt in the air is hard on a coating, and the first place it shows is around the edges and the door line rather than in the middle of the floor.
Close to the water we use a topcoat made for that exposure and seal the edges properly instead of running the coating to the wall and calling it done.
Yes, and where a space is in use during the day it is usually the sensible way to do it.
We phase the work into evenings and weekends and agree the sequence before starting, so you know exactly which areas are out of use and when.
Usually yes. Stains and old patches sit at the surface, and grinding takes that layer off before anything is applied.
What we check for underneath is moisture and structural cracking, since those decide the build rather than the appearance.
Not with a properly bonded system. Hot-tire pickup happens when a coating is thin, poorly bonded or rolled on over unprepared concrete.
We grind rather than acid-etch, so the coating anchors into the slab instead of resting on top of it.
Not with the right finish. A plain epoxy left exposed to daylight ambers and dulls, sometimes within a season, and in Florida most garage doors stay open a good part of the day.
We finish with a UV-stable topcoat, which is what keeps the color where it started.
It comes off. A new system is only as sound as whatever it sits on, and putting fresh material over a failing one simply repeats the failure a year later.
We grind the old coating away mechanically, then assess the concrete underneath on its own condition.
Yes. Cracks, chipped edges and failed patches are repaired as part of the preparation, not treated as an extra afterwards.
A coating does not bridge a moving crack on its own, so the repair has to happen first if the finish is going to stay flat.
You can walk on it the next day. Vehicles need longer, because tires put far more stress on a fresh coating than feet do.
We give you the exact window before we start, so you can plan where the car goes in the meantime.
Yes, the floor has to be completely clear before we start — including shelving and anything fixed along the walls.
If moving heavy items is a problem, tell us when we quote and we will build it into the plan rather than leaving it to the morning of the job.
Our shop is in Dania Beach, a straight run up the coast, so Pompano is comfortably within our normal range.
Most estimates happen within a few days of your call.
