Epoxy Flooring in Daytona Beach, FL

Epoxy flooring in Daytona Beach covers more ground than most people expect, because the city itself is a patchwork. Daytona, Daytona Beach, Kingston and Seabreeze were separate towns until they merged in 1926. The Halifax River lagoon still splits the city in two, with four free bridges tying the mainland to the beachside. A garage off Ridgewood and a garage a few blocks from the ocean sit in the same city limits, yet the floors we find in them are often very different.

Reading a Daytona Beach slab by its decade

Housing here was built in waves. American Community Survey figures summarized by Point2Homes show about 10.4% of the city's homes went up in the 1950s and another 10.4% in the 1960s. The biggest wave came later, with 18.3% from the 1970s and 22.1% from the 1980s. Building picked up again after 2010, and 5.7% of homes date from 2020 or later. Each era leaves its own floor behind.

• 1950s and 1960s homes: thin slabs, old carports turned into garages, and layers of paint from owners past. Grinding takes longer, and we budget for patching.
• 1970s and 1980s homes: the bulk of the city. Expect settlement cracks, oil-soaked parking spots and worn sealers that must come off.
• Homes built since 2010: sound concrete with a smooth, hard-troweled finish. A coating will not grip it until it is diamond ground.

A renters' city

More Daytona Beach homes are rented than owned. The same ACS summary puts renter-occupied units at 52.5%. Close to half of all housing is in buildings with two or more units. Landlords and property managers call us for a practical reason. A sealed garage or utility room floor wipes clean between tenants, hides wear under flake, and does not soak up oil the way bare concrete does. For rentals we usually suggest a mid-tone flake with a polyaspartic topcoat. It turns around fast, and scuffs barely show.

Bikes, cars and race fans

NASCAR and International Speedway Corporation are headquartered here, and Bike Week and Biketoberfest bring several hundred thousand riders to the area each year. Plenty of residents keep a motorcycle, a project car or a trailer in the garage. Kickstands dig into soft coatings, and hot tires can lift cheap ones. For those floors we build thicker, with a full flake broadcast that spreads the load, and we talk through hot-tire pickup before we pick a topcoat. A garage set up as a show space is also a natural fit for metallic epoxy.

Beach sand rides home on the tires

Wikipedia notes the city has more than 23 miles of public beach, and cars are allowed on parts of it. Anyone who drives the beach brings sand back in the wheel wells, and it ends up on the garage floor. Fine sand acts like sandpaper under shoes and tires. A flake floor with enough texture holds up to that grit, and a quick rinse sends the sand out the door instead of into the pores of the slab.

Beachside versus mainland

On the beachside, homes and condos sit between the river and the ocean. Salt air leaves a film on garage floors and on anything metal, and storms push sand and water under doors. We clean that film off with grinding right before coating, and we lean toward textured flake finishes that hide sand between rinses. On the mainland, the slabs are more often the issue than the air. Older neighborhoods west of the river have more converted carports, add-on rooms and patched concrete. There we spend more of the job on prep: grinding off old paint, filling seams and leveling low spots near the door. The coating system may be the same on both sides. The work it takes to get there often is not.

Planning around the calendar

Daytona Beach averages 51.25 inches of rain a year, mostly from June through September. The record for a single day is 12.85 inches, set in October 1924. Wikipedia also notes that late winter and early spring are often very dry. For outdoor work on lanais and pool decks, those drier months are the easiest time to schedule. Garage work goes on all year, but in summer we start early and read the dew point before each coat.

Commercial floors in a working city

The city's largest employers include Halifax Health, AdventHealth Daytona Beach, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Daytona State College. Manufacturing sites sit in an enterprise zone and a foreign trade zone next to the airport. We coat shop floors, service bays, storage rooms and back-of-house areas for businesses like these. Commercial jobs are scheduled around your hours, and we can work in sections so part of the floor stays open.

How we price a Daytona Beach floor

We measure the space, test the slab for moisture and note every crack and old coating. Then you get one written price with the prep, each coat and the total spelled out. Call (386) 272-6158 or

Rooms beyond the garage

Not every Daytona Beach job is a garage. Many homes here sit on a slab with no basement, so a coated concrete floor can serve as the finished floor in a sunroom, a home gym or a converted garage room. Metallic epoxy suits those spaces when looks matter. A plain color coat with a light texture suits a laundry or storage room. We check the slab for moisture first, since a room floor is harder to empty out if anything goes wrong.
