Restoring west Pasco’s 1960s-to-80s garage slabs — and the flood-tested concrete of Gulf Harbors.
New Port Richey’s housing runs older than the rest of Pasco County — the median home here dates to about 1980, with roughly a fifth of the stock built between 1940 and 1969 — and the dominant build is the single-story block-and-stucco ranch on a slab-on-grade foundation. That means the typical west Pasco garage floor is 40 to 70 years old: cracked, dusted, stained, and never once finished. In waterfront communities like Gulf Harbors, screened lanais and pool decks add even more hard-working concrete, while newer construction clusters east toward Trinity and Seven Springs.
Restoring exactly that kind of slab is core Apex Epoxy Coatings work. We diamond-grind decades of wear off the concrete, repair cracks and spalling, moisture-test, and then build the new floor — garage floor epoxy, our specialty full-broadcast flake, lanai and pool deck coatings with UV-stable topcoats, or interior floors for Florida rooms and laundry spaces. With nearly 30 percent of residents 65 or older, we keep it simple: honest quotes, slip-resistant finishes, floors that stay easy to live with.

(727) 423-5985West Pasco’s coast is genuinely flood-exposed, and 2024 proved it: Helene’s surge put several feet of Gulf water into homes in Gulf Harbors and other low-lying neighborhoods — Pasco first responders made nearly 200 high-water rescues — and two weeks later Milton drove the Anclote River near Elfers to a 26.57-foot crest, well above its 20-foot flood stage. Concrete survives all of that; the finish rarely does.
Our flood-recovery process is methodical: full drying time, moisture readings, grinding away silt, salts, and contamination, then a moisture-tolerant primer under the new system. Once sealed, an epoxy floor is the easiest part of a storm cleanup — soak, squeegee, done — which is why so many rebuilt Gulf Harbors garages get coated as the final step.
New Port Richey’s commercial spine is US 19 — retail plazas, restaurants, auto services, and medical offices — anchored by the 222-bed Morton Plant North Bay Hospital, with HCA Florida Trinity Hospital just east. Downtown along Main Street and Grand Boulevard has staged a real revival around Sims Park, the restored 1920s Hacienda Hotel, and Cotee River Brewing, and the city’s redevelopment agency keeps pushing new projects into the corridor.
Those are our kinds of floors: seamless restaurant and retail surfaces that handle traffic and mop clean, medical suites that need uniform, cleanable finishes, and commercial systems installed nights and weekends so the doors stay open. Historic buildings downtown often hide great concrete under old flooring — grinding one back and finishing it is some of the most satisfying work we do.
