Slab homes and garages across Westwood Lakes
Westwood Lakes is a mostly residential community of single-family houses on concrete slabs. The calls we get here sound a lot like the ones from Olympia Heights, where we're based, and from nearby Sunset. Most are garage floors with oil stains, cracks or a peeling coat from a store-bought kit. After that come patios, porches and pool decks that have faded and pitted in the sun.
The ground matters as much as the house. Miami-Dade sits close to sea level with its groundwater just below the surface, and after a big rain the water sometimes has nowhere to drain. That moisture works up into a slab from underneath, and it's one of the main reasons a coating lets go, so we check the concrete before we pick a system.
What to check before a floor job in Westwood Lakes
If your property's folio, the number the county uses for it, starts with "30", it falls under unincorporated Miami-Dade, and any permit goes through the county's Permitting and Inspection Center. When a job needs a permit, it has to come before the start date, so it can push the schedule back. Under the county process, only a licensed contractor or an owner acting as their own builder can get a permit, so ask whoever you hire for their state license and their county business tax receipt, which the county requires for each place of business and which is good for one year. Before we schedule, we find out whether the county or your city covers your property, and if the job needs a permit, we apply as the licensed contractor and handle the paperwork and inspections.
On price, the slab does most of the talking. Its size, its cracks and oil, an old coating to grind off and any moisture coming up through it all move the number, and so does the system you pick. The schedule turns on the permit, if there is one, and on the weather, because rain and humidity slow a cure. I put the scope and the price in a written estimate, the same way I do for homes in Kendale Lakes.

Garage Floor Coatings
Garages here often have oil stains, cracks or a peeling kit coat. We grind down to clean concrete and put down a garage floor coating made for hot tires.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
Porches and garages with the door open take strong sun here, which yellows plain epoxy. On those floors we use polyaspartic, a fast-curing topcoat that holds its color.
Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation
Old sealers, paint and glue on these slabs keep a new coat from bonding. We grind the surface open and check for moisture before anything goes down.
Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing
Pool decks around here take sun, chlorine and bare feet all year, so they crack and fade. We repair the cracks and resurface them with a textured, slip-resistant finish.
Concrete Sealing
Driveways and patios here soak up rain, then grow mildew and stains in the humidity. We clean and seal the concrete so the next rain beads up on top.
Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays
Older patios and porches here are often pitted, chipped or patched in mismatched spots. We resurface them with a thin overlay that gives you one even, fresh surface.
How it goes when you call us in Westwood Lakes
Call or send the form
Call (786) 408-1023 or send the form with a line about your floor. We get back to you and set a time for me to come by.
I look at your slab
I come out myself, check the concrete for cracks, old coatings and moisture, and ask how you use the space. You get a written estimate that spells out the prep, the system and the price before you decide anything.
We prep and coat the floor
Once you say yes, we set the date, and our installers grind, repair and coat the floor. The county bars noise-producing construction equipment at or near homes between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m., so we do our grinding during the day.
Walk the finished floor together
Before we pack up, I walk the floor with you and tell you when it's ready for feet and when it's ready for cars. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job.
Common questions
Do I need a permit to coat my garage floor in Westwood Lakes?
Miami-Dade's permit guide lists resurfacing a floor among work that doesn't need a permit, but electrical, plumbing or structural work that comes along with it does. New outlets or lighting in the garage, for example, need a permit for that part. We look at the full scope and check which office covers your property before we schedule.
Does work under $7,500 still need a building permit in Miami-Dade?
Since July 1, 2026, work valued under $7,500 may qualify for a simplified process with no building permit, but only on single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses that meet the county's criteria. Property partly or entirely in a flood hazard area isn't eligible, and electrical, plumbing, structural, mechanical and gas work still needs permits. You also can't split a bigger project into smaller phases to stay under the line.
How do I check a contractor's license in Florida?
Look the contractor up on the state's DBPR licensing portal. A certified license covers work anywhere in Florida, while a registered license only covers the cities or counties where the holder has a certificate of competency, so make sure it reaches Miami-Dade. We're fully licensed and insured, and we're glad to show you.
How much does an epoxy garage floor cost in Westwood Lakes?
It comes down to your slab and the finish you choose, and I give you the figure in a written estimate after I've seen the floor. Heavy crack repair, an old coating to strip or moisture that needs dealing with raises the price, and so does a full flake broadcast or a metallic look. A simple solid color on a sound, dry slab costs less, and if that fits how you use the garage, I'll tell you.
What causes epoxy to peel off a garage floor?
It's usually the prep. A coat rolled onto concrete that wasn't ground open, or onto a slab with moisture pushing up from below, has nothing solid to grab. With groundwater this close under slabs here, we grind and test before anything goes down, because hot tires will lift a coat that never bonded.
What is the best time of year to coat a garage floor in Miami-Dade?
The drier months are usually easiest, because hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30 and brings the heavy rain and humidity that slow a cure. We still work through summer. We just watch the forecast and the slab's moisture more closely and plan the days around them.
