A Cooper City flooring contractor who tests first
Northstar Cooper City Epoxy Flooring is a flooring contractor based in Cooper City, and I've run it since 2021, after learning the trade grinding and coating concrete on an installer's crew. We're licensed and insured, and we offer 16 services in the 12 cities with their own pages here, from garage coatings to polished and resurfaced concrete. Before this I spent years at a dealership service desk watching shop floors peel, so the slab under your floor is the first thing I look at. You can read more about how we got started and how we work.
What you get from our flooring crew
A good flooring crew should look hard at your concrete before it shows you color charts, tell you what it finds and put the plan in writing so nothing surprises you later.
The owner sees your slab
I come out to look at your floor myself and tell you what your slab can handle and what it can't, even when that's not what you hoped.
Testing before any finish
We test and prep the concrete before we recommend a finish, because most floors that peel or bubble failed in the slab underneath first.
Estimates you can compare
Your written estimate spells out the prep, the product and the look of the finished floor, so you can line it up fairly against other bids.
Plan around cure time
We explain how heat, humidity and cure time affect when you can walk or park on the new floor, so you can plan around it instead of guessing.

Flooring contractor services in Cooper City, FL
Northstar Cooper City Epoxy Flooring is a flooring contractor in Cooper City, FL, and our 16 services cover concrete floors inside and out. Most calls are for garage floors that peel or stain, patios and pool decks that have worn thin, and shop floors that take a beating every day. The price mostly follows the size of the floor, how much prep the slab needs for cracks, old coatings or moisture, and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on that same prep and on cure time, which heat and humidity can stretch. Your free estimate spells out the prep, the product and the finish for your floor.
Epoxy Floor Coatings
We grind your concrete and roll on a bonded epoxy coating that resists stains and cleans up easily, for garages, shops, laundry rooms and other hard-working floors.

Running a shop, warehouse or office with a busy floor? We coat commercial concrete with systems made for carts, chemicals and heavy foot traffic.
Learn moreGarage Floor Coatings
Garage floor dusty, stained or peeling? We grind off the old paint and put down a coating that stands up to hot tires and oil drips.
Learn morePolyaspartic Floor Coatings
Polyaspartic is a fast-curing coating that holds its color in sunlight, so it suits garages left open and homeowners who want their space back sooner.
Learn moreMetallic Epoxy Flooring
We pour metallic epoxy that swirls into a deep, marbled look, a good fit for showrooms, home bars, game rooms and garages you like to show off.
Learn moreUrethane Cement Flooring
Urethane cement is a thick, tough floor system for commercial kitchens, breweries and food plants, where hot water and daily washdowns wear out thinner coatings.
Learn morePolished Concrete Flooring
Want the concrete itself to be the finished floor? We grind and polish the slab to a smooth sheen that cleans easily, in homes, stores and offices.
Learn moreStained Concrete Flooring
We color existing concrete with stain that soaks in instead of sitting on top, giving patios, lanais and indoor slabs a warm, mottled look.
Learn moreTerrazzo Flooring
Terrazzo sets chips of marble or glass in a binder that's ground smooth, making a hard-wearing polished floor for lobbies, entryways and living areas.
Learn moreBasement Flooring
For a basement or other below-grade room, we test the slab for moisture first, then pick a coating that can live with damp concrete.
Learn moreConcrete Grinding & Surface Preparation
We grind concrete to open up its surface and take off old sealers and glue, so a new coating grabs the slab instead of whatever was on it.
Learn moreConcrete Sealing
A clear sealer helps bare driveways, patios and garage floors shed water, oil and stains, for homeowners who like plain concrete and want it protected.
Learn moreConcrete Resurfacing & Overlays
Cracked, chipped or patchy concrete that's still sound underneath can take a thin overlay instead of a tear-out, leaving you a fresh, even surface.
Learn moreSelf-Leveling Concrete & Overlays
Floor dips and humps under your new tile or vinyl? We pour self-leveling concrete that flows out flat, so the next floor goes down on a level base.
Learn morePool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
We resurface and coat worn pool decks with textured finishes that give bare feet better grip and stand up to sun, chlorine and splash-out.
Learn moreConcrete Floor Stripping & Removal
Old paint, failing epoxy, carpet glue and tile mastic have to come off before a new floor goes down, so we strip them back to clean concrete.

How your Cooper City floor project goes
Call or send the form
Call us at (754) 206-8021 or send the form with a few lines about your floor and how you use the space. We get back to you within one business day to talk it through and pick a time for me to come out. Bring every question you've got.
I test the slab and write it up
I come out, look at the floor, test the slab and ask how you use the room, since a garage that parks two cars needs something different from a home gym. Then you get a free written estimate with the prep, the product and the finish spelled out, and no obligation to go ahead.
Our installers do the work
If you go ahead, our own installers prep the floor first, grinding the surface, fixing cracks and cleaning the concrete, then put down the coating or finish your estimate describes. We keep you posted as it goes and tell you when it's ready for feet and when it's ready for cars or equipment.
We walk the finished floor
When the floor is done, I walk it with you, point out anything worth knowing and answer whatever questions come up. I'll go over how to clean it and what to keep off it while it finishes curing, so you know how to look after it from day one.
Questions about your concrete floor
Here's what homeowners ask me most before we coat or finish their concrete. If your floor raises a question that isn't here, ask me at the estimate and I'll walk you through it.
How much does an epoxy garage floor cost in Cooper City?
It depends on the size of the garage, how much prep the slab needs and which coating system you pick, so I give you a written figure after I've seen and tested your floor. Cracks, old paint or sealer to grind off and moisture in the concrete all add prep. A plain flake coating usually costs less than a metallic finish, and the free estimate lays out the prep, product and finish for yours.
Why are epoxy floor quotes so different from one contractor to the next?
Mostly because bids differ in how much prep they include, and the prep decides whether a coating stays stuck. A low bid may skip grinding or moisture testing and roll the coating over bare concrete, which is how a lot of garage floors end up peeling. Our estimate lists the prep, the product and the finish so you can compare line by line.
How long after an epoxy floor coating can I use my garage?
It depends on the coating and the weather, so I tell you what to expect for your floor at the estimate instead of guessing at a day now. Polyaspartic topcoats usually cure faster than straight epoxy, and heat and humidity change how fast any of them cure. You'll usually walk on a new floor well before you can park on it.
Do I need a permit to coat or resurface a concrete floor in Cooper City?
The city's permit list names projects like additions, alterations and new slabs, not floor coatings, so whether your job needs one is a question for the city's Building Division, and we ask them instead of guessing. If a permit is needed, we take care of it with the building office before work starts. When permitted work on a property is worth $2500 or more, the city's checklist also calls for a Notice of Commencement to go in with the permit package.
What does testing a concrete slab before an epoxy floor involve?
We check the slab for moisture coming up from below, for old sealers or coatings, and for how hard and sound the surface is, since each of those changes what can go on it. Some of that nobody can know until the slab is tested. If we find a moisture problem, I'll tell you at the estimate and steer you to prep or a product that can handle it, or tell you a coating isn't the right call.
What if my new floor has a problem after you finish?
Call us and tell me what you're seeing, because our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee and I want to know. I'll ask how the floor has been used and cleaned, since that usually points to what's going on, and then we talk about the next step.
Is polyaspartic or epoxy better for a garage floor in Florida?
For most garages here I lean toward an epoxy base with a polyaspartic topcoat, since the epoxy builds a thick bond to the slab and the polyaspartic holds its color when the door's open to the sun. Straight epoxy can yellow in sunlight over time, while polyaspartic cures faster. I'll go through the options with you once I've seen how you use the space.
Will a coating hold up on a pool deck or patio in Cooper City sun and rain?
It can, when the product is made for outdoor concrete and the deck is prepped right, because sun, standing water and chlorine break down coatings meant for indoors. Outside we usually steer you toward a textured finish that keeps its color and gives bare feet some grip, and we check that water drains off instead of sitting. Cracks that keep moving will usually show through any new surface, and I'll point those out at the estimate.
