Island Living, Island Floors

Epoxy flooring in Key Biscayne is planned with the island's flood risk in mind. The village sits about 3 feet above sea level between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic, and Wikipedia notes that it lies in Evacuation Zone A. A 2017 study found parts of the town could flood at high tide by 2045, and in 2020 voters approved a $100 million bond for flood protection.

Choosing a floor for a garage that may flood

A coating cannot stop water from coming in, but it changes what happens after. On a sealed floor, water and silt stay on top and can be pushed out with a squeegee. Bare concrete soaks it up and stays damp for days. For island garages we focus on:

full-coverage coating up the first inch or two of the wall,
a sealed edge at the door threshold,
a moisture-tolerant primer on damp slabs,
a textured topcoat that stays grippy when wet.

Post-war homes from the Mackle years

After the Rickenbacker Causeway opened in 1947, Mackle Construction began selling new homes on the island in 1951. Some of those early houses remain, and their slabs are now 70 years old. Condo complexes came later and pushed the population up. Each era needs its own prep, from heavy grinding on old slabs to lighter work in newer buildings.

Getting there

Most trips onto the island cross the 4-mile Rickenbacker Causeway by way of Virginia Key. We plan our deliveries and crew arrival around causeway traffic, bring everything we need in one trip and haul away all waste. That keeps the job on schedule and avoids extra trips across the bridge.

Lessons from Andrew

Wikipedia notes that Hurricane Andrew in 1992 flooded some homes and businesses on Key Biscayne. Garages that have been flooded before often have stains, salt deposits or loose patches. We clean, test and repair those first, then coat, and we tell you if anything beyond the floor needs fixing.

Key Biscayne Questions

Is epoxy a good idea in a Key Biscayne garage that could flood?

Yes, with the right system. A sealed floor sheds water and silt so cleanup is faster. We use a primer suited to damp concrete and seal the door edge.

My house is from the 1950s. Can the original slab be coated?

Usually. An older slab first needs grinding, crack filling and moisture testing. We price that prep clearly so you know what the floor needs.

Do you coat condo garages and storage rooms on the island?

Yes. We work in phases so residents keep access, and we plan around building rules and causeway traffic.

Will salt from the ocean and bay affect the coating?

Salt sits on top of a cured coating and rinses away with water. A quick rinse every few weeks keeps the floor clean.
