Flooring in Fontainebleau, from condos to garages
We're a flooring contractor based in Coral Terrace, and the calls we get from Fontainebleau follow the way it was built. The eastern half went up mostly as condominiums and apartments, so property managers call us about storage rooms, trash rooms and maintenance floors, and owners call about their units. The western side has single-family houses, townhomes and the Village Homes and Garden Homes, where the work is usually garages, pool decks and rooms on slab. It's much the same work we do in Tamiami and Westchester.
Price mostly turns on what's on the slab now and how much of it has to come off, how many cracks need filling and how big the floor is. The schedule turns on that prep and on how long your coating needs before you can walk or park on it, and you'll get your own figures at the estimate. Under all of it is the ground, because Miami-Dade sits close to sea level with groundwater just below the surface, so moisture coming up through a slab is the first thing I check for here.
What we do for Fontainebleau floors
Most epoxy calls here come from the single-family side, for garages and back rooms on slab. We grind and test the concrete first, then coat it.
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
Learn more about Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor CoatingsCondo and apartment buildings on the east side have maintenance rooms and storage floors that take carts and chemicals, so we match the coating to the traffic.
In a townhome or house here, the garage often doubles as storage and a workshop. We fix cracks, grind off old paint and coat it for hot tires.
When you need the garage back quickly, polyaspartic cures faster than epoxy and holds its color in the sun, which suits covered patios and entries.
Some owners redo a slab family room or converted garage in metallic epoxy. It swirls, and it shows every flaw under it, so the grind matters.
For a condo trash room, a kitchen or a loading area, urethane cement takes heat, water and harsh cleaning better than a thin coating does.
When old carpet or tile comes up and the slab underneath is sound, we can grind and polish it into the finished floor, with no coating to peel.
Stain soaks into the slab rather than sitting on top, so it suits patios and slab rooms. Old patches and glue show through, which we'll point out first.
When we find terrazzo under old carpet or tile in a home or condo here, we fill the chips and cracks, then grind and polish it back.
Few houses here have basements, so we use these moisture-tolerant systems on ground-floor rooms and storage spaces that tend to stay damp.
Slabs here often carry layers of paint, sealer and tile glue. We grind down to clean concrete, since a coating holds only as well as what's under it.
A clear sealer on a driveway, walkway or patio keeps rain and stains from soaking in. It's the simplest choice for a slab you already like.
When a townhome patio or front entry is stained, pitted or patched but still solid, an overlay gives it a new surface without breaking out the old concrete.
Condo units and slab rooms often have dips and humps that show once tile comes up. A self-leveling layer flattens it before the new floor goes down.
Pool decks here take sun, chlorine and splashing most of the year. We repair cracks and resurface with a textured finish that's easier on bare feet.
In a condo or apartment, we take up old tile, glue and failed coatings with dust control and carry it out as we go, so the hallways stay usable.

Fontainebleau floor questions we hear
Do I need a permit to coat or resurface a floor in Fontainebleau, FL?
Fontainebleau isn't its own city, so any building permit for your floor would come from Miami-Dade County's Permitting and Inspection Center, and if your address sits inside a neighboring city instead, that city's building official handles it. An older county list puts floor surfacing outside the Florida Building Code, but other agencies can still require approvals, and plumbing, electrical or structural repairs found along the way need their own permits. We check early which office covers your property and tell you what we find, and if the job needs a permit, we apply for it as your licensed contractor.
Does Florida House Bill 803 cover small flooring jobs in Fontainebleau?
It can, because a project valued under $7,500 at a single-family home, duplex, townhouse or one of their accessory structures may qualify for a simplified process with no building permit. Condo and apartment units don't qualify, and neither does a property partly or entirely in a flood hazard area, which the county suggests checking on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center. You can't split a bigger job into phases to get under the limit, and the owner or contractor uploads a written request with the contract or papers showing the work and its value.
Who licenses flooring contractors in Miami-Dade County?
Miami-Dade County's Contractor Licensing Section licenses contractors and tradesmen working in the county, and its qualifying board's rules apply in unincorporated places like Fontainebleau as well as in the cities. A state-certified license is good statewide, while a registered license covers only the cities or counties where the holder has a certificate of competency, so it's fair to ask which kind a contractor holds. We're fully licensed and insured, and I'm glad to go over it when I come out.
How much does a garage floor coating cost in Fontainebleau?
It comes down to the size of your floor, the shape the slab is in and the coating you choose, and I'll give you your own price after seeing the floor. Grinding off old paint or tile glue, filling cracks and dealing with moisture all add work, while a plain single-color epoxy usually costs less than a full flake or metallic finish. Polyaspartic usually runs higher than epoxy but gets you back in the garage sooner, and I'll lay out both so you can pick.
What causes epoxy to peel off concrete floors in Miami-Dade homes?
Most peeling comes from moisture pushing up through the slab or from coating over concrete that was never ground clean. With the high groundwater I mentioned above, that moisture is a real concern here, so we test the slab before choosing a coating and grind until we reach bare, sound concrete. If a test shows more moisture than a standard coating can handle, I'll tell you before we start and suggest a system that suits it.
How do I restore old terrazzo floors in a Fontainebleau condo or house?
You usually restore it by pulling up the carpet or tile over it, removing the glue, filling the cracks and chips, then grinding and polishing the terrazzo back to a shine. How much repair it needs is something nobody can tell until the covering is up, so I'll look at an exposed corner if you can find one and give you a straight answer about what we might run into.
