Moisture-smart coatings for Clearwater’s mid-century ranches, beach condos, and busy US 19 businesses.
Clearwater’s floors are mostly mid-century floors: roughly 27 percent of the city’s homes went up between 1940 and 1969 and another 55 percent between 1970 and 1999, which means block-and-stucco ranches on grade-level slabs from Skycrest to Imperial Park, one-car garages and carports on the older streets, and two-car garages in the Countryside-era subdivisions. Add the beach condos — large complexes make up around 43 percent of the city’s housing — and the waterfront homes of Island Estates and Harbor Oaks, and you have a city of hard-working concrete sitting a few feet above a high water table.
That’s exactly the concrete Apex Epoxy Coatings is built for. We install garage floor epoxy, our specialty full-broadcast flake systems, lanai and pool deck coatings with UV-stable topcoats, interior floors, and commercial systems for condo walkways, restaurants, and the businesses along US 19. Sandy soil and a water table often just 2 to 6 feet down make moisture testing the non-negotiable first step on every Clearwater job — so that’s where we start.
Free, no-obligation quotes — and we answer the phone 24/7.
(727) 423-5985A Skycrest ranch slab from the 1950s has half a century of paint, stains, and hairline cracks in it — we diamond-grind it back to clean concrete, repair, and rebuild it as a floor that finally matches the rest of the house. The city’s condo and HOA communities, from beachfront towers to the nearly 5,000-unit On Top of the World community off Belcher Road, bring a different kind of work: shared walkways, breezeways, and pool surrounds where slip resistance, uniformity, and durability matter as much as looks.
Those community projects are home turf for us — the flake walkway installs pictured across this site are real Apex jobs at a Pinellas County condo community. Full-broadcast flake earns its keep in exactly these settings: dense coverage that hides tracked-in sand and dirt, texture underfoot for wet feet, and a granite look that ties a whole property together.
The 2024 storms hit Clearwater directly — Helene’s surge wrecked homes and businesses on Clearwater Beach and Island Estates, and Milton’s rain flooded low-lying inland pockets weeks later. Saturated slabs hold moisture long after the water is gone, so flood-affected floors here get dried, moisture-tested, ground, and primed with moisture-tolerant products before any coating goes down. Done right, the finished floor is the easiest part of the house to reset after the next storm.
The sun is the other constant: Clearwater logs 250-plus sunny days a year with midsummer UV readings up to 12, which ambers bare epoxy outdoors. Every exterior surface we coat — lanais, patios, pool decks, walkways — gets a UV-stable topcoat, with grip tuned for barefoot, wet use. And along the seven-mile US 19 corridor, where the ICOT Center’s offices and the flex and warehouse space off Hercules Avenue keep working floors busy, we install commercial systems scheduled around business hours.
