Three Storms, One Lesson: Prep the Slab

Epoxy flooring in Bonita Springs has to fit a place that knows water. The Imperial River runs through downtown on its way to Estero Bay, and the city's elevation is only about 10 feet. Hurricane Charley came ashore to the north in 2004, Wilma landed to the south in 2005, and in 2017 the eye of Irma passed directly overhead, leaving significant flooding behind, according to Wikipedia.

What that means for a garage floor

A slab that has been flooded, or sits on damp ground, can push moisture up into a coating and cause it to bubble or peel. Before we price any floor in Bonita Springs, we:

  • Test moisture at several spots, not just one.
  • Look for efflorescence, the white powder that shows water moving through concrete.
  • Check old repairs and patches that may not bond like the original slab.
  • Choose the primer based on the readings, not on habit.

When we find water seeping in, you will hear it straight from us, because that problem needs fixing before a coating is worth the money.

A 1990s and 2000s city

The typical Bonita Springs home was built in 1998, the median in the ACS data Point2Homes reports, with 26% of homes from the 1990s and 23.5% from the 2000s. About 81.8% of occupied homes are owned. Garages from that era are usually ready for coating after grinding and crack repair, though some have an earlier DIY paint job that has to come off.

Golf carts, coolers and beach gear

The city is known for its beaches, from Bonita Beach on Little Hickory Island to Barefoot Beach Preserve, and for golf communities. Garages often hold a cart, chairs, umbrellas and sandy coolers. Chips broadcast edge to edge disguise tracked-in sand, and the floor sweeps clean. We suggest a medium texture near the door, where wet feet and tires come in.

Mixed housing, mixed needs

About 45% of homes are single-family detached, 11.7% are manufactured homes and about a third are in multi-unit buildings. That covers everything from a three-car garage to a carport pad to a condo storage room, and we size the system to the space and its use.

Bonita Springs Background

  • A river through downtown. The Imperial River flows through the downtown district and empties into Estero Bay; it was called Surveyor's Creek until about 1912.
  • Irma passed overhead. In September 2017 the eye of Hurricane Irma passed over Bonita Springs, damaging many structures and causing significant flooding.
  • 1990s-2000s housing. The median year built is 1998, with 49.5% of housing from 1990 to 2009 (ACS 2019-2023 via Point2Homes).
  • A broad housing mix. Detached single-family houses are about 45% of units, and 11.7% are mobile or manufactured homes (ACS via Point2Homes).

Bonita Springs Questions

My Bonita Springs garage flooded during Irma. Can it still be coated?

In most cases, yes. We test for moisture and look for salts or residue left in the concrete. Cleaning, grinding and the right primer usually make the slab ready, and we tell you plainly if something needs fixing first.

Why is there a white, chalky film on my garage floor?

That is usually efflorescence, mineral salts carried up by moisture. It has to be removed and the moisture level checked before coating, or it can push the new floor off the slab.

Can I park a golf cart on a new floor right away?

Not right away. Cure time depends on the product and the weather. Your quote lists when the floor is ready for foot traffic, carts and cars.

Do you coat condo storage rooms or carports?

Yes, if they are concrete. For shared areas, the association usually has to approve the work, and we will draft a written scope for its review.
