Garage floor epoxy, condo walkway and commercial floor coatings across our home county, from Tarpon Springs to St. Pete Beach.
Pinellas County is home for our epoxy flooring company. It is Florida's densest county and mostly built out. The median home here dates to 1977, and a quarter of the housing went up in the 1970s. So most garages, carports, lanais and walkways sit on slabs carrying decades of paint, oil spots and cracks. As a garage floor epoxy contractor and commercial installer, we coat them across all 24 cities and the unincorporated areas.
Apex Epoxy Coatings installs garage floor epoxy and full-broadcast flake floors from St. Petersburg to Clearwater and the beach towns. Every job starts with diamond grinding, crack and spall repair, and a moisture test before we quote. Outdoor work gets a UV-stable topcoat and anti-slip texture tuned for wet lanais and pool decks. Commercial quotes list the downtime and cure timeline in writing, so a shop or warehouse knows its schedule.
Free, no-obligation quotes anywhere in the county, and we answer the phone 24/7.
(727) 423-5985Pinellas grew fast after the war, and homes from the 1950s and 1960s are 27 percent of its housing. Many were built of concrete block with terrazzo floors, and their garages and carports are 60 to 70 years old. Those slabs carry layers of paint and old sealer, plus hairline cracks and spalls at the edges and joints. We diamond grind the surface off, repair the concrete, and rebuild it as a flake floor that sweeps clean.
Only 48 percent of Pinellas housing units are detached homes; most of the rest are condos, apartments and attached homes. That puts many walkways, pool decks and garages under association control, with boards that want a schedule in writing. Our driveway and walkway coatings page shows one condo community's walkways here, before and after a full-broadcast flake system. Boards in Pinellas Park and on the barrier islands get the same prep, plus slip-resistant texture for wet walkways.
Helene pushed record water onto the Pinellas coast on September 26, 2024, the strongest hit here in 80 years. The Clearwater Beach gauge hit 6.67 feet above normal high tide, and St. Petersburg reached 6.31 feet. County officials counted 28,350 homes damaged by Helene, then 12,560 more from Milton two weeks later. Between the two storms, 40,910 Pinellas County homes took damage, and many garages and ground floors sat in surge water.
Milton followed on October 9 with rain, and St. Petersburg recorded 18.31 inches in 24 hours. That included 5.09 inches in a single hour, and one gauge near the city logged 20.40 inches for the storm. A slab that took that much water holds moisture for weeks, and a coating applied too soon will peel. We meter-test every flooded slab before quoting, then grind, repair and coat once the readings pass.
Even a normal year is wet in Pinellas County, and summer brings most of the rain. St. Petersburg's 1991 to 2020 normals put annual rainfall at 46.65 inches, with 29 inches falling June through September. Humid air and daily afternoon storms keep slab-on-grade concrete damp for most of the summer. Outdoor floors get a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat here, and indoor floors get a moisture reading before any primer goes down.
Pinellas County has the third largest manufacturing workforce in Florida, with more than 34,000 people making things here. The Gateway and Mid-County area alone covers 30 square miles, holds more than 114,000 jobs and several Fortune 500 employers. Those plants, labs and distribution floors need commercial epoxy flooring that takes forklift traffic, spills and daily washdowns. We put the downtime and cure timeline on every commercial quote so a plant manager can plan the shutdown.
Recent plant expansions landed in Largo, Clearwater, Oldsmar and the Gateway Centre business park in Pinellas Park. The beaches are the other engine: 15.4 million visitors came in fiscal 2024 and booked 6.4 million hotel room nights. Hotel back-of-house floors, restaurant kitchens and beach rental garages all take sand, salt and water every day. A grind and seal floor or a full-broadcast flake system stands up to that traffic and mops clean at closing.
