From 1920s Kenwood bungalows to Shore Acres flood rebuilds — floor coatings built for the Sunshine City.
St. Petersburg’s housing spans a full century, and so do its slabs. Historic Kenwood holds one of Florida’s densest collections of 1920s Craftsman bungalows, the postwar boom filled Disston Heights and Jungle Terrace with one-story block ranches and their garages and carports, and the canal streets of Shore Acres and Riviera Bay are lined with low-slung mid-century homes — many now being rebuilt and elevated after the 2024 storms. Whatever the era, bare garage concrete here ends up the same way: dusty, stained, and tired.
Apex Epoxy Coatings gives St. Pete slabs a finish that lasts. We install garage floor epoxy, our flagship full-broadcast flake systems, metallic epoxy statement floors, UV-stable patio and pool deck coatings, and seamless commercial floors for the city’s shops, studios, and restaurants. Prep comes first, every time: diamond grinding, crack repair, and a moisture check tuned to this coastal, flood-tested city.
Free, no-obligation quotes — and we answer the phone 24/7.
(727) 423-5985No city in Tampa Bay learned more about water in 2024 than St. Pete. Helene’s storm surge reached a record 6.31 feet above normal high tide at the St. Petersburg gauge and pushed bay water into Shore Acres, Snell Isle, Coquina Key, and Venetian Isles — and Shore Acres had already seen more than 1,200 homes damaged by Idalia’s flooding the year before. Milton followed two weeks after Helene with gusts over 100 mph and roughly 18 inches of rain.
For floors, the playbook is now well-worn: let the slab dry completely, verify it with moisture readings, grind off the contamination, repair, and coat with a moisture-tolerant system. A sealed epoxy floor won’t stop the next flood, but it turns the cleanup into a wash-down instead of a demolition — one reason coated garages have become standard practice in the city’s rebuilt waterfront homes.
St. Petersburg averages 361 days of sunshine a year and still holds the Guinness World Record for consecutive sunny days — 768 straight. That much UV ambers unprotected epoxy, so every outdoor lanai, patio, and pool deck we coat here gets a UV-stable topcoat with slip-resistant texture, and salt air off the bay makes a fully sealed surface worth even more.
The commercial side of St. Pete runs from the Gateway district — home to more than 2,700 businesses and about 60,000 jobs around anchors like Raymond James and Jabil — to the storefronts of the EDGE District, Grand Central, and Deuces Live along Central Avenue, plus the converted industrial buildings of the Warehouse Arts District. We coat them all: retail floors that stay glossy under traffic, restaurant back-of-house that handles wash-downs, and warehouse systems built for equipment.
