Floors for an Island in Recovery

Epoxy flooring in Fort Myers Beach is tied closely to rebuilding. Hurricane Ian made landfall north of the town as a Category 4 storm on September 28, 2022, and Wikipedia notes it damaged the majority of homes and businesses along the coastline. Estero Island sits at about 3 feet of elevation, so ground-level floors here face water, sand and salt more than almost anywhere else in Lee County.

Ground floors that can take a hit

On the island, the lowest level is often parking, storage or an entry. For those spaces we lean toward:

Moisture-tolerant primers for slabs that stay damp.
Flake systems that hide sand and make cleanup a matter of a hose and a squeegee.
Polyaspartic topcoats that resist salt and stay color-stable in strong sun.
Simple, repairable layouts so a damaged section can be patched without redoing the whole floor.

A coating will not stop a storm surge. What it does is give you a sealed, cleanable surface that is easier to wash out and get back into use.

Condos and multi-unit buildings

Most of the town's housing is in larger buildings. ACS figures summarized by Point2Homes show 33% of units in buildings with 20 to 49 units and 19% in buildings with 50 or more. Shared garages, lobbies, stairwells and pool decks fall under the association. A board or property manager can get a written scope from us to review, or we can price one owner's private garage on its own.

Older buildings, salt-worn concrete

The median year built on the island is 1983, and 61.2% of units date from the 1970s and 1980s. Decades of salt air can leave concrete pitted and stained. Grinding continues until the surface is solid, and pits are filled before any coating goes down.

Working around seasonal owners and renters

At the 2020 census, 67.2% of housing units were vacant, which reflects how many places here are second homes and short-term rentals. We are happy to schedule work between bookings or while you are away. Shrimp boats and beach tourism have long shaped this town, and many commercial floors face the same salt and sand. We quote those on site.

Island Conditions to Plan For

Hurricane Ian. Ian made landfall north of the town as a Category 4 storm on September 28, 2022, damaging the majority of coastal homes and businesses.
Big buildings dominate. About 52% of housing units are in buildings with 20 or more units, and only 30.2% are detached single-family houses (ACS via Point2Homes).
Mostly seasonal. The 2020 census counted 9,460 housing units, of which 67.2% were vacant at the time of the count.

Fort Myers Beach Questions

Is it worth coating a ground floor that could flood again?

Many owners find it is, because a sealed floor washes out and dries far faster than bare or painted concrete. We are honest that no coating prevents flood damage. We focus on systems that are tough, easy to clean and practical to repair.

Can you coat the parking level under my raised home?

Yes, if it is a concrete slab. We test moisture first, since slabs this close to the water often read damp, and use a primer made for those conditions.

Does our condo board need to approve a garage coating?

Usually, if the space is a common element or the bylaws cover finishes. Your board gets a written scope and the product data sheets from us to look over.

Can you schedule around rental bookings?

Yes. Tell us your open dates and we will plan the prep and cure time to fit, with fast-curing products if the gap is short.
