Metallic Epoxy Flooring in Coral Terrace FL - a one-of-a-kind floor on a tested slab
Plain gray concrete you're tired of looking at? We test and prep the slab first, then pour a metallic floor no one else has.
Is a metallic epoxy floor right for my concrete?
Metallic epoxy flooring is a poured coating over your concrete that can come out as a soft change in color or as deep, swirling effects. In Coral Terrace we put it down only on slabs we've tested and prepped first, so it has a sound surface to bond to.
Most people who call us are tired of bare gray concrete or an old coating that's started to peel, and they want a floor that looks like nothing else on the block. We're based in Coral Terrace and work across Miami-Dade. The price mostly follows the size of the room and how much work the slab needs before any color goes on, which is often where our concrete grinding and surface preparation comes in. The schedule turns on what the moisture testing shows and how much repair turns up, so you'll get your own figure and plan in the estimate once I've seen the floor.
Why Coral Terrace chooses us for metallic epoxy

You'll know what you're getting before we start, including the parts of a metallic floor nobody can promise.
Metallic epoxy options for your floor
We ask how much sun the room gets and whether the slab has a barrier under it, because both shape the system we suggest for your home.
What happens after you call about a metallic floor?
Every metallic floor starts with a look at your slab and a talk about the room, so the plan fits how you use the space and what's under it.

How much does metallic epoxy flooring cost in Coral Terrace?
There's no flat price, because a metallic floor is priced from your room's size, the shape the concrete's in and the system you pick. One maker's guide calls for grinding the slab by machine and removing old paint, sealers, curing agents, dirt and loose material first, so a slab with an old coating or a lot of cracks takes more work than clean, bare concrete. Extras you ask for on top add to it, and you'll see your own number once I've looked at the floor.
What causes a metallic epoxy floor to peel or fail?
Moisture coming up through the concrete is the big one, because it can interfere with the epoxy's bond and make the coating fail. One maker says a slab poured right on the ground needs a suitable moisture barrier under it, or seasonal ground moisture can push through no matter what earlier tests showed. If nobody can say for sure whether yours has one, I'll tell you that before you choose this floor.
How long does moisture testing take before an epoxy floor goes down?
A common moisture test takes 24 hours, because a plastic sheet is taped to the floor and left for a full day before it's checked. Plan for that wait before coating starts, and if the slab shows too much moisture, the plan changes before any color goes down.
Will a metallic epoxy floor yellow in the sun?
It can, because UV rays from sunlight and even artificial lighting can discolor and yellow a floor. One maker offers clear topcoats with UV blocker technology in matte, semi-gloss or gloss, so if your room gets strong sun, ask for one in the sheen you like.
Can a metallic epoxy floor be made less slippery?
Yes, silica sand can be scattered evenly into the wear coat while the epoxy is still wet, which gives your feet more grip. It's worth asking for in a garage, by a back door or anywhere the floor tends to get wet.
How do I apply for Miami-Dade County's small project permit exemption?
You or your contractor send the county a written request through its online portal, with a copy of the contract or other papers showing what the work is and what it's worth. Check first that your property fits the limits described below, since not every home can use it.
Metallic epoxy flooring in Coral Terrace and nearby
Whether a metallic floor needs a permit depends on your address and the job, so it isn't settled until we look. Miami-Dade County says some small home improvement projects valued under $7,500 may skip the building permit if they meet its exemption criteria. Units in multi-family buildings and properties partly or entirely in a flood hazard area aren't eligible, so check your building type and flood status first. We check early which office covers your property and tell you what we find. Contractors working here are licensed through the county, and if your floor does need a permit, we apply for it as your licensed contractor.
Around Coral Terrace we mostly put these floors in slab houses, garages and enclosed rooms. We see the same kinds of homes on jobs in Westchester and Coral Gables, so every one of those floors gets the same testing and the same honest talk about the look.
