Parkland Epoxy has served Margate since 2015, installing commercial epoxy floors, garage coatings, and pool deck systems for the city's concrete block homes and businesses - with every job starting with a moisture test, because skipping that step is what causes most floor failures in this area.

Margate has a mixed inventory of commercial spaces along its Sample Road and Margate Boulevard corridors - showrooms, warehouses, auto shops, and light industrial units - many of which have aging concrete floors that were never properly sealed. Our commercial and industrial epoxy floor coatings are installed with the same surface preparation standards as residential work - mechanical grinding, moisture testing, and a coating system matched to the actual traffic load the floor will see.
Most Margate homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s, which means garage slabs in this city are often 40 to 60 years old. That age, combined with South Florida's high water table, produces slabs prone to surface dusting and moisture-driven cracking - problems that a proper epoxy coating system stabilizes and seals once the surface is correctly prepared.
Margate's flat lots and year-round outdoor living culture mean pool decks see constant use, and South Florida's UV intensity fades and degrades uncoated or poorly coated concrete fast. Resurfacing with a UV-stable, slip-resistant system extends the deck's life and keeps it safe for daily use around the water.
Many Margate properties back up to canals or drainage easements, keeping the ground around the slab wetter than it appears on the surface. Sealing driveways, walkways, and patios creates a barrier against the steady moisture wicking that causes surface spalling in this part of Broward County.
Margate's oldest neighborhoods have driveways and exterior slabs that are showing surface wear after decades in Florida's weather. When the base concrete is still structurally sound, resurfacing restores the surface without the cost and disruption of full slab removal and replacement.
Proper surface prep is the difference between a floor coating that lasts a decade and one that peels within a year. On Margate's older slabs - many of which have previous sealers, paint, or surface contaminants - mechanical grinding opens the pores of the concrete so new coatings bond correctly rather than sitting on top.
Margate is a densely built suburban city of around 60,000 people in western Broward County, and the vast majority of its homes and commercial buildings went up between the 1960s and the 1980s. At that age, concrete surfaces - driveways, garage slabs, pool decks, and interior floors - are well past the point where any original finish protection remains. The standard building material in this part of South Florida is concrete block with stucco, and that CBS construction holds up well structurally, but the flat concrete surfaces around those homes are a different story. Without protective coatings or sealers, they absorb moisture, develop surface cracks, and begin spalling in ways that are easy to prevent but expensive to reverse once they go untreated too long.
Margate sits on flat inland terrain, and the canal system running through many neighborhoods keeps groundwater close to the surface. That high water table is the most important factor in any concrete floor job here. Moisture pushing up through a slab from below will cause any coating applied without a proper moisture test to bubble and peel, usually within the first year. South Florida gets about 60 inches of rain per year, most of it between June and October, and that wet season puts additional stress on any unsealed concrete surface. A contractor who works here regularly understands these dynamics and builds them into every project from the start.
Our crew works throughout Margate regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete flooring work here. Margate's housing stock is almost entirely single-story Florida ranch homes on modest lots - low-profile, concrete block construction with attached garages and small yards. These homes are workhorses built for South Florida's climate, and their concrete surfaces have been doing the job for decades. When it is time for new coatings or resurfacing, we know what to expect on a 1970s slab in this city versus what we find on newer construction in neighboring areas.
Margate is organized around a straightforward grid bounded by Sample Road to the north, Coconut Creek Parkway, the Florida Turnpike corridor, and its interior neighborhoods. The Oriole area - centered around the Oriole Golf and Tennis Club - is one of the city's more established residential communities, and we have done work throughout it. The commercial corridors along Sample Road and Margate Boulevard include auto-related businesses, service shops, and small warehouses where industrial-grade floor coatings are a common need. For those commercial jobs, we confirm requirements with the City of Margate before work begins.
We also serve neighboring Tamarac to the south and Coral Springs to the north and east. If you are on the Margate side of either city line, our crew is in your area regularly and we schedule those cities together.
Contact us by phone or through our online form and we will follow up within one business day to confirm your address and schedule a site visit. No commitment is required at this stage.
We visit the site, inspect the slab condition, test for moisture, and walk you through what system we recommend and why. You receive a written quote before any work is scheduled - no surprises on the final invoice.
On the scheduled day, we grind the surface to the correct profile, address any cracks or damage, and apply the coating system. Most residential garage and interior jobs in Margate take two days from start to coating application.
After installation, the floor needs 24 hours before light foot traffic and 72 hours before vehicle use. In Margate's summer humidity, we recommend waiting the full cure window before driving on the surface.

(754) 294-8165Margate is a city of roughly 60,000 people in western Broward County, covering about 9 square miles between Coconut Creek to the north and Tamarac to the south. The city is almost entirely built out, with very little undeveloped land remaining. It incorporated in 1955 and grew rapidly through the postwar decades as South Florida's suburbs expanded westward from Fort Lauderdale. Most of the housing stock consists of single-story Florida ranch homes on modest lots - the plain-spoken, durable concrete block homes that defined suburban South Florida in the 1960s and 1970s. A large share of residents are long-term homeowners who have lived in the same home for years and invest in keeping their properties up.
Community gathering spots include Calypso Cove waterpark at the Margate Sports Complex and the Oriole neighborhood centered around the Oriole Golf and Tennis Club area - landmarks most Margate residents know well. The city's commercial activity runs along Sample Road and Margate Boulevard, with a mix of shopping, restaurants, and service businesses. Margate sits alongside Tamarac on its southern edge, and the housing character in both cities is similar - older concrete block construction that rewards owners who stay on top of maintenance rather than wait for problems to compound.
