Garage and lanai coatings for Tampa’s original bedroom suburb — from 1990s builder slabs to new townhomes.
Brandon grew up as Tampa’s original bedroom suburb — the community boomed more than 600 percent during the 1960s — and its housing shows it: the median Brandon home dates to about 1992, which means whole neighborhoods of slab-on-grade block homes in communities like Brentwood Hills, Providence Lakes, and Heather Lakes are now sitting on original builder-grade garage concrete that’s 30-plus years old. Attached two-car garages are the norm, three-car garages show up in pockets like Bloomingdale Village, and screened lanais and community pools run right through the deed-restricted subdivisions.
Apex Epoxy Coatings turns those builder slabs into finished floors. We install garage floor epoxy and full-broadcast flake systems — our specialty — plus metallic epoxy, lanai and patio coatings with UV-stable topcoats, and commercial floors for the businesses along the State Road 60 corridor. Every install starts with diamond grinding and crack repair, because a 1992 slab has three decades of wear to grind through before anything should stick to it.

(727) 423-5985The classic Brandon job is a two-car garage in a late-80s or 90s subdivision — Brentwood Hills alone dates to 1989 with about a thousand homes — where the original slab has hairline cracks, tire stains, and a dusty surface that never got better than bare concrete. We grind it, repair it, and broadcast a full flake system that hides everyday dirt and takes hot tires without complaint. Newer concrete gets the same care: Brandon Pointe’s townhomes went up between 2011 and 2015, and Arbor Oaks has been adding larger homes with oversized garages since around 2015.
Outdoor concrete works just as hard here. Brandon sits in the same humid subtropical belt as the rest of Tampa Bay — roughly 44 inches of rain a year, morning humidity near 88 percent, and a July UV index averaging around 12 — so lanais, patios, and pool surrounds get UV-stable topcoats with slip-resistant texture, tuned for the daily wet-season storms.
Brandon Boulevard is one of eastern Hillsborough County’s hardest-working retail corridors, anchored by the Brandon Exchange mall off I-75, with HCA Florida Brandon Hospital and the HCC Brandon campus carrying the institutional side. West along the SR 60 and Adamo Drive corridor, commercial listings track roughly 1.5 million square feet of warehouse, distribution, and manufacturing space.
That mix is exactly what our commercial and industrial coatings are built for: seamless retail and showroom floors that stay presentable under constant traffic, back-of-house surfaces that handle spills and wash-downs, and high-build warehouse systems rated for pallet jacks and forklifts — installed nights and weekends so the doors stay open.
