Epoxy Flooring in Jacksonville, FL

Epoxy Flooring in Jacksonville means covering a city larger in land area than almost any other in the country. After the 1968 consolidation merged the city with Duval County, Jacksonville took in roughly 874 square miles, so a single day of estimates can include a 1950s slab near the river and a garage poured last year off the Beltway. We treat each one as its own project, because the concrete under it usually is.

Humidity is the first thing we measure

Jacksonville's annual relative humidity averages 75.8%, and it climbs to about 80.8% in September. That matters more than most people expect. Epoxy cures by chemical reaction, and when the air is close to its dew point, water can bead up on concrete that is cooler than the air and leave a cloudy or weak bond. Nothing gets mixed until we have read the slab's surface temperature and set it beside the dew point. On sticky mornings we may start later, run fans, or switch to a fast-curing polyaspartic topcoat that tolerates the conditions better.

Summer heat and the garage door

July highs average close to 92 degrees here, and when a garage faces west and the door stays up, the first few feet of floor can bake. Plain epoxy can amber in direct sun over time. For garages that stay open, we usually recommend a UV-stable topcoat over the base layer so the color near the door matches the color at the back wall.

Flooding along the St. Johns

The city straddles the St. Johns River and sits at an elevation of about 3 feet in many places. During Hurricane Irma in 2017, the river crested above the records Hurricane Dora set in 1964, and water reached about 5 feet in some homes in Riverside and San Marco. A coating will not stop a flood. What it can do is give you a sealed surface that is easier to clean after water recedes. If your garage has flooded before, tell us. We look closely at cracks, joints and any spots where the old coating has lifted.

Floors for the working side of town

Jacksonville is a Navy town and a port town. NAS Jacksonville alone employs about 23,000 people, and JAXPORT is Florida's largest seaport by volume, with about 50,000 regional jobs tied to port activity. That creates a steady need for hard-wearing commercial floors in warehouses, maintenance bays and distribution space. We lay out those projects in sections when the building has to stay open, and we talk through forklift traffic and chemical exposure before choosing a system.

Mixed housing, mixed prep

Roughly 18.9% of the city's homes date from the 1950s and 1960s, and 16.9% went up between 2000 and 2009, per ACS figures that Point2Homes summarizes. Older slabs often carry decades of oil, paint and patch work. Newer ones may have a builder's sealer we need to grind away. Either way, the written estimate spells out the prep your floor needs.
