Concrete floors and coatings in Lauderhill
Lauderhill packs a lot into a small city. There are townhome and condo communities, streets of single-family houses and busy commercial plazas, and it runs right up against Plantation and Fort Lauderdale. We're a flooring contractor in Cooper City, FL, and the calls we get from here look like the rest of our work, mostly garages, patios and pool decks, plus some shops and offices.
What moves the price is how much prep your slab needs before anything goes on it, and the schedule turns on what the slab test shows and whether the job needs a city permit. Many houses and townhomes here have been lived in a long time, so the concrete under your garage or patio has usually been painted, sealed, tiled or patched along the way, and getting that off cleanly is where most of the work on these floors goes.
What we do for Lauderhill floors
Garage Floor Coatings
Lauderhill garages often double as storage, laundry or a workshop, so the floor takes spills and dropped tools. We grind the slab, fill cracks and lay a flake system.
Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
Backyard pool decks here take bare feet and pool chemicals, and older coatings start flaking at the edges. We tap for hollow spots, strip what's loose and resurface.
Basement Flooring
Few homes here have a true basement, but ground-floor rooms on bare slab raise the same moisture question. Our basement flooring work starts with a moisture test.
Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings
Lauderhill's shops, offices and plazas need floors that handle foot traffic, carts and cleaning chemicals. We ask how the space runs, then pick a coating that fits.
Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal
Older houses and townhomes here often hide tile, glue or old paint over the slab. We strip it down to clean concrete so the new floor bonds.
Concrete Sealing
Patios and walkways around Lauderhill homes stain and dust up when they're left bare. We clean the concrete and seal it, which makes the next cleaning easier.
What Lauderhill slabs need first
A new coating is only as good as what it's stuck to, and on a lot of floors here that's an old finish nobody remembers putting down. So I come out myself, look at the floor and test the slab before I write anything up, because a coating laid over a weak old layer or a damp spot lets go with it. If the test turns up something you won't like, I'll tell you at the estimate, not after the floor is down.
The other thing I want to know is how you use the room. A townhome garage that's really a laundry and storage room needs something different from a shop floor that sees carts all day, and I'll keep asking questions until I've got it right.

Questions from Lauderhill homeowners
Here's what people in Lauderhill ask us most about permits, prep and price. If your floor raises a question that isn't covered here, call and ask, and I'll walk you through it.
How do I find out if my garage floor coating needs a permit in Lauderhill?
Ask the city's Building office, because its permit list covers work like roofing, fences, plumbing and electrical and doesn't spell out floor coatings. When a job of ours needs a permit, we take care of it with the city before work starts, and when it isn't clear, we ask the office instead of guessing.
Does pouring or extending a slab in Lauderhill need an engineering permit?
Yes, the city's Engineering office lists slabs, driveways, paving and sealcoating among the work that needs an engineering permit, along with any work in the right-of-way or a city easement. The contractor signs and notarizes that application, has to be registered with the city and shows a certificate of insurance, and extending a driveway or pouring a slab also means filling out lot coverage forms.
How do I book a building inspection in Lauderhill?
You call the city's inspections line at (954) 739-0100, choose option 3 and have the permit number ready. Same-day inspections aren't possible, a next-day inspection has to be booked by 3 p.m. the day before and still may not be available, and evening or Friday through Sunday inspections cost extra in overtime fees.
How much does an epoxy garage floor cost in Lauderhill?
The cost comes down to your floor's size, the system you pick and how much it takes to get the slab ready. A plain flake coat usually costs less than a metallic finish, and stripping old paint or tile, filling a lot of cracks or dealing with a damp spot adds work. Your written estimate lists the prep, the product and the finish, so you can see where the money goes.
What causes an epoxy floor to peel?
Usually the coating never bonded to the concrete, because it went over sealer, oil, an old finish or a smooth surface that was never ground, or because moisture was coming up through the slab. I watched shop floors peel for years before I learned why, which is why we test the slab and grind it to open, clean concrete before anything goes on.
What license does a flooring contractor need in Florida?
Florida's state licensing department says anyone seeking a certified contractor license has to pass a state certification exam first, with swimming pool specialty contractors as the one exception. Lauderhill also requires every business operating in the city to hold a business tax receipt and a Certificate of Use. We're licensed and insured, so ask us about it at the estimate.
