Epoxy Flooring in Coconut Grove, FL

In Coconut Grove, epoxy flooring often ends up in a garage shaded by big trees. Locals call the Grove one of Miami's greenest areas, and Wikipedia describes the heavy hammock vegetation that covers much of it. Shade keeps garages cooler, but leaves, seeds and sap blow in, and damp corners stay damp longer. A sealed floor sweeps clean and does not soak up tannin stains from wet leaves.

Higher ground than most of Miami

The Grove sits on the Miami Rock Ridge. Its average elevation is about 13 feet, and its highest point, at 24 feet, is the highest natural ground in the city of Miami. That does not make slabs dry, since rain and humidity still reach them, but many Grove homes see less tidal flooding than lower neighborhoods. We still test every slab, because shade and poor airflow can keep concrete damp.

Long history, varied slabs

The first settlers arrived in 1825, and the area joined the City of Miami in 1925. Black Bahamian immigrants built many of its historic landmarks. Homes range from old cottages to modern builds, so slabs vary widely. Older ones may have thin concrete, uneven surfaces or old paint. Newer ones usually need standard grinding only.

Bayside condos

Condo and rental towers came to the area from the 1970s on, including Yacht Harbour Condominiums in 1975, Grove Isle in 1979 and Grove Towers in 1983. Buildings from that period are now old enough to need parking area and storage room upkeep. We coat those spaces in phases so residents keep access.

Patios and pool decks

With so much greenery, many Grove homes have patios and pool decks shaded part of the day and in full sun the rest. We use a UV-stable topcoat that will not yellow and add texture for wet feet. Where roots have lifted a slab, we point it out, since a coating cannot fix a slab that is still moving.
