Floor coatings for the 1960s and 1970s ranch homes between Lake Seminole and the Gulf beaches
Epoxy floor coatings in Seminole mostly go down on slabs poured between 1950 and 1979. Seminole became a city in 1970 and wraps the lower half of Lake Seminole, the second-largest lake in Pinellas. The lake is man-made, formed in the late 1940s when Park Boulevard was built across Long Bayou. Madeira Beach and Indian Rocks Beach sit just across the water to the west.
The median Seminole home dates to 1979, and nearly half of its houses went up in the 1960s and 1970s. Slabs across Oakhurst Shores and Seminole Grove Estates have taken decades of Gulf humidity and summer rain. Our garage floor epoxy starts with diamond grinding, crack and spall repair, and a moisture test on that old concrete. A full-broadcast flake system then covers the repairs with a slip-resistant floor that sweeps clean.

Hundreds of single-family homes were hit, with a bill near $25 million. Grove Terrace flooded, and Long Bayou, a brackish arm of Boca Ciega Bay, reaches well into the west side of town.
A house that took water gets stripped down to the slab. Once it dries, that bare slab is a chance to put down a floor that handles water better than carpet. Our interior floor coatings go over ground and repaired concrete in living rooms, bedrooms and converted garages. A sealed coating cleans up with a mop after minor water intrusion.
Timing matters on a rebuild, because people want to move back in. We test the slab for moisture first, since a floor coated too early will peel. Then we diamond grind, repair cracks and spalls, and coat. A polyaspartic topcoat cures fast, so the room goes back into service sooner.
Seminole's median age is 55.9, and its 55-and-over communities show why. Tamarac by the Gulf has 386 single-family homes built in 1968 and 1969, each with an attached garage. Seminole Lake Country Club Estates went up between 1963 and 1993. Its semi-private course runs along Long Bayou and Cross Bayou.
Garages in these homes are about 55 years old, and some still have original paint or bare concrete. A coated floor is easier to sweep and keeps oil and tire marks from soaking in. We grind off the old paint, fill the cracks, and broadcast flake to full coverage. The texture from the flake gives traction on a wet day.
Lanais and pool decks in these communities get the same prep plus a UV-stable topcoat. Our patio and pool deck coatings need that topcoat to hold color in full sun. Over on Park Boulevard, Seminole City Center replaced the old mall in 2016 with 377,000 square feet of open-air shops. Retail and restaurant floors there and along Seminole Boulevard are a fit for commercial epoxy flooring that mops clean.
