Epoxy Flooring in Lake Worth
Officially it’s been Lake Worth Beach since 2019, and most people still call it Lake Worth. It’s one of the older towns in the county: houses from the 1920s through the 1950s, a downtown built along Lake and Lucerne Avenues, small commercial bays, and the beach and casino building across the bridge. 343 Epoxy is a firefighter-owned crew out of Miami, and we coat floors here.
Old Slabs Need More Prep
Most of the work in Lake Worth starts with a slab that has been around a long time. Garages and carports in College Park and South Palm Park have taken decades of oil, patch jobs and, often, a coat of hardware-store garage paint that’s now flaking off. Some of these slabs were poured with no vapor barrier underneath, and moisture from the ground works up through them all year.
That’s why prep matters more here than almost anywhere else we work. We test for moisture first. We diamond grind to open up the concrete and take off old coatings, then fill cracks and spalled spots. If the readings come back high, a moisture-mitigating primer goes down before the color coat. A flake epoxy floor over that kind of prep holds up. Over a dirty, damp slab, nothing does.
A lot of these older houses have a carport instead of a closed garage, and that changes the system. Open sides mean sun and blowing rain reach the slab, so a carport gets a UV-stable topcoat rated for outdoor use, with grit in it. At the site visit we also check which way the slab drains, because the coating follows the existing slope and water has to keep running off toward the drive.
Downtown, the jobs are smaller and tighter: a shop, studio or café in an old storefront, often on a floor that’s been tiled, glued and scraped more than once. Those need the old adhesive removed and a full grind before anything new goes down, and plain sealed concrete from grind and seal suits a lot of them.
Out toward the water, salt air and sun do the damage. Porches and patios near the Lake Worth Lagoon and the beach need UV-stable, slip-resistant systems; our patio coatings page explains the options. Lake Worth Beach is part of our Palm Beach County service area.
Lake Worth, Street by Street
Downtown on Lake and Lucerne
Shops, studios and cafés in older storefronts. Floors often hide old tile adhesive and patches. We strip, grind and coat, and schedule around the days you’re closed.
College Park and South Palm Park
Houses from the 1920s to the 1950s with original garage and carport slabs. Moisture testing and crack repair come first, then flake or grind and seal. An open carport usually needs an outdoor-rated topcoat.
The Beach and the Lagoon
Out by the beach and the casino building, and along the Lake Worth Lagoon, salt and sun never let up. Porches and patios get a UV-stable topcoat with grit for wet bare feet.
Small Commercial Bays
Auto shops, contractor units and small warehouses in the town’s commercial pockets, like the stretch along 10th Avenue North. Commercial epoxy or urethane cement for oil, brake fluid, carts and dropped tools.
What Fits an Older Lake Worth Slab
All of these are available in Lake Worth Beach. On an older slab, the moisture test and the grind decide as much as your color choice does.
Flaked Epoxy
The workhorse for Lake Worth garages. Flake over 100% solids epoxy hides the scars an old slab still carries after grinding and patching, and the floor wipes clean. A good fit for the single-car garages in the older neighborhoods.
Metallic Epoxy
For downtown shops and studios that want the floor to look like part of the room. Metallic needs a flat, well-repaired slab, so older floors get extra grinding and patching before the pour.
Commercial Epoxy
For the commercial bays: oil, brake fluid, carts and tools. Chemical-resistant and easy to keep clean. We can phase a shop floor so the business keeps working while one half cures.
Grind & Seal · Quartz · Urethane Cement
Grind and seal for a plain look on a sound old slab. Quartz where you want grip in a wet kitchen or back room. Urethane cement for heat, hot water and heavy use.
