Floors from the Post-War Building Boom

Epoxy Flooring in Arlington typically involves concrete poured in the 1950s or 1960s. After the Mathews Bridge opened in 1953, Arlington grew faster than any other part of Jacksonville for two decades, according to Wikipedia. Planned subdivisions like Sandalwood, which began in 1960, spread across the area. Many of those homes still have their original garage and carport slabs.

What sixty-year-old concrete looks like

Older slabs often show:

  • Surface wear that exposes sand and aggregate.
  • Layers of paint from past owners.
  • Old oil stains soaked deep into the concrete.
  • Cracks and patches from decades of settling.

We grind to sound concrete, repair cracks and pits, and explain in writing what each step costs. Old floors can look excellent once they are prepared properly.

Carports and the sun

Many mid-century homes in Arlington have open carports or garages converted to living space. Carport slabs see direct sun and rain. A UV-stable topcoat keeps color from fading, and texture helps with wet conditions.

Garage conversions

Some owners turned their garage into a den or spare room years ago. If you want to coat that floor, we check for old carpet glue, tile adhesive and moisture first. Metallic or solid-color systems can work well indoors.

Humidity across the river

Arlington sits east of the St. Johns River, and Jacksonville's average relative humidity is about 75.8% year-round. Older slabs often lack vapor barriers, so we test moisture and choose primers accordingly.

Commercial floors

Regency Square Mall opened in Arlington in 1967, and the area has many older commercial buildings. Shops and offices can benefit from durable, easy-clean coatings. Jacksonville University, whose first Arlington campus building was completed in 1950, is also part of the neighborhood.

Fort Caroline and older lots

Arlington's history runs back to Fort Caroline, built by the French in 1564 and 1565, and the area stayed lightly settled until sawmills and plantations appeared along the river in the 1800s. Some lots near the water still have older outbuildings and sheds with rough concrete. Those floors may need more leveling than a 1960s garage, and we are upfront about whether the result will be worth the cost.

Arlington Questions

Can a 1960s Arlington garage floor be coated?

Yes, in most cases. Slabs this age take extra grinding and patching, and the estimate shows that line by line. Very damaged slabs may need repair first.

Can you coat a carport?

Yes. Carports get direct sun and rain, so the top layer is UV-stable and has grit mixed in for wet days.

I converted my garage to a room. Can that floor be coated?

Usually. We remove old adhesives and test moisture first. Indoor rooms are a good fit for metallic or solid-color finishes.

Do you coat older commercial buildings in Arlington?

Yes. We assess the slab, discuss traffic and schedule, and provide a written plan.
