A 1970s Neighborhood, Floor by Floor

Epoxy flooring in Fort Myers Shores is largely about homes from one decade. ACS figures summarized by Point2Homes show that 42.7% of the housing was built in the 1970s, more than in any other decade, and the median year built is 1979. Detached single-family houses are about 83.2% of units. Many of them have a carport or one- or two-car garage on a slab that is now close to 50 years old.

What half a century does to a slab

Concrete that old usually has a history. We expect:

  • Worn or flaking paint from past touch-ups.
  • Settlement cracks that may need routing and filling.
  • Surface wear that leaves sand and aggregate exposed.
  • Old adhesive where carpet or tile was once laid.

None of this means the floor cannot be coated; it means more grinding and repair before we do. The written quote breaks it out.

Owners and landlords

Ownership is close to an even split here: about 53.8% of occupied homes are owned and 46.2% are rented. For a landlord, a coated garage or utility room wipes clean at turnover and masks wear that bare concrete would show. A durable flake system is often the most practical choice. Renters should get the owner's approval first, and we can send the quote directly to them.

Right by the river

The community sits on the south side of the Caloosahatchee at about 3 feet of elevation, and water covers about 18% of its area. Low ground and long humid summers mean moisture testing is a must. All slabs get checked, and the ones that need it get a primer that tolerates moisture.

Easy access off SR 80

State Road 80 runs along the southern edge of the community and State Road 31 along the west. That makes it straightforward for us to schedule on-site estimates and installs here.

Fort Myers Shores Questions

Is a 1970s garage slab too old to coat?

No. Age alone is not the issue. What matters is the condition of the surface, moisture levels and whether old coatings are present. We grind and repair as needed and explain it in the quote.

I own a rental in Fort Myers Shores. Is a coating worth it?

Many landlords find coated floors easier to clean and slower to show wear between tenants. A flake system is forgiving of scuffs and stains.

There used to be carpet in my converted garage. Can you remove the glue?

Yes. We grind off carpet and tile adhesive before coating. Heavy glue can take extra time, which we account for in the quote.

Can settlement cracks be fixed before coating?

Stable cracks can be routed and filled. When a crack keeps shifting, or the slab has sunk on one side, we will flag it, since a coating cannot hold a moving slab together.
