A Community Built in One Long Wave

Epoxy flooring in Gateway starts from an unusual baseline: almost every garage is about the same age. ACS figures summarized by Point2Homes show that 25.4% of homes went up during the 1990s, 44.5% in the 2000s and 19.4% from 2010 to 2019, with only a sliver older than that. The median year built is 2005. That uniformity lets us predict a lot about the slab before we arrive, though we always confirm on site.

What we usually find

In a garage from the late 1990s or 2000s, the common issues are predictable:

  • Worn builder sealer in the tire lanes.
  • Hot tire pickup marks where rubber has lifted cheap sealers or paint.
  • Hairline cracks along the slab and at corners.
  • Rust spots under bikes, tools or metal shelving.

We grind, repair and clean all of that before coating. Getting rid of any old paint matters most, because a new coating bonded to loose paint comes up with that paint.

Owners who stay

Owners live in about 84.9% of Gateway's occupied homes, and 68.4% of units are single-family detached. For people planning to stay, we often suggest full flake under a polyaspartic clear coat. It is built to handle hot tires, UV and daily wear for many years.

Travel gear and airport schedules

Gateway sits just north of Southwest Florida International Airport. If you travel often, it can be convenient to have the floor done while you are away, once we agree on access. Garages that store luggage, travel trailers or a second car benefit from a floor that sweeps clean and does not hold dust.

Moisture is still checked

At about 20 feet of elevation, Gateway sits higher than much of coastal Lee County. Summer humidity is still high everywhere in the region, and the slab can hold more moisture than its age suggests. We test before every quote.

Gateway Questions

What is hot tire pickup, and will it happen on my new floor?

Hot tires can soften weak sealers or paint and lift them off the slab when the car is moved. A ground and properly cured epoxy or polyaspartic system is far more resistant. It is one of the main reasons we do not coat over old finishes.

Can the floor get done while I am traveling?

Often, yes. We agree on dates, access and how the garage is left in writing first, and once we finish we can text you pictures of the floor.

My neighbor's garage looks just like mine. Will the price be the same?

Not necessarily. Size, slab condition, existing coatings and the system you choose all affect the quote. We price each floor after seeing it.

Can a travel trailer sit on a coated floor?

Yes. We recommend placing pads under the jack stands and tongue jack so the point loads spread out.
