Coral Gables Epoxy Flooring & Concrete Polishing serves Kendall, FL with pool deck coatings, epoxy floor systems, concrete resurfacing, and terrazzo restoration. We work on the ranch-style homes and large-lot properties that define this part of southwest Miami-Dade, and we reply within one business day.
A large share of Kendall homes have in-ground pools, and those pool decks face intense year-round UV exposure plus seasonal flooding that leads to cracking and surface spalling. Our pool deck coatings and resurfacing service restores the surface with slip-resistant finishes that hold up in Kendall's heat and humidity.
Kendall's ranch homes from the 1970s and 1980s sit on slab-on-grade foundations without vapor barriers, which means moisture moves upward through the concrete continuously during South Florida's wet season. We test every slab before applying any epoxy system and use moisture-tolerant primers so the coating bonds correctly and does not peel or bubble within the first year.
Many driveways and walkways in Kendall are original pours from the 1970s and 1980s and show cracking, spalling, and surface roughness from decades of summer storms and UV stress. A concrete overlay brings those surfaces back without removing and replacing the entire slab, which is significantly less disruptive and less expensive.
Terrazzo was used throughout Kendall homes built through the early 1980s and is still found under carpet and vinyl in many of these houses. Original terrazzo in this era holds up well in South Florida's climate, and restoring it typically costs less than installing a new floor covering - with a result that performs better in humidity over the long term.
Kendall sits on flat, low-lying land near the Everglades edge, and water pools on driveways and walkways after the daily summer thunderstorms that move through this area. Sealing exposed concrete surfaces keeps water from working into surface cracks, slows their growth, and reduces the staining that builds up on driveways in neighborhoods with mature trees.
Kendall homeowners who renovate their kitchens, living areas, or open-plan spaces increasingly choose polished concrete as a replacement for tile or vinyl because it handles humidity and cleaning better in South Florida's climate. The original slab in most homes here is a solid base for polishing once the surface is prepped correctly.
Most of Kendall was developed between the 1970s and the early 1990s, and the homes here follow a consistent pattern: single-story ranch construction on a concrete slab, stucco exterior, tile roof, and an in-ground pool in the backyard. Those slabs were poured on the flat, low-lying fill that covers this part of Miami-Dade County, just a few miles east of Everglades National Park. The land drains slowly, and during the wet season - roughly May through October - water sits on and around concrete surfaces for extended periods. That repeated cycle of soaking and drying, combined with intense UV exposure, causes surface spalling and crack propagation faster here than in drier climates. The same applies to pool decks, which are also exposed to pool chemistry and bare foot traffic year-round.
Hurricane Andrew struck just south of Kendall in 1992, and the rebuilding that followed changed how homes across the area were repaired and reinforced. Many of the concrete surfaces we see in Kendall today show the patchwork of repairs from that period - repairs that were done quickly and may not have been done to the same standard as the original slab. Before we coat or overlay any surface, we assess the repair history and the condition underneath so we are not putting a new finish on top of a compromised base. Permits for exterior concrete work in Kendall run through Miami-Dade County Building and Zoning, and we confirm requirements before starting any exterior project.
Our crew works throughout Kendall regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect concrete flooring work here. Kendall is a large, spread-out unincorporated area rather than a single city - it covers a wide stretch of southwest Miami-Dade County with no defined downtown. Most of our jobs here are on single-family residential properties in subdivisions like The Hammocks and Kendale Lakes, where the homes have large backyards, private pools, and concrete driveways that see daily sun exposure and regular summer storm flooding.
The area is bounded by the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) to the north and stretches south toward Cutler Bay, with Dadeland Mall near the northern edge serving as a well-known local landmark. Homeowners throughout this corridor deal with the same core concrete challenges: original slabs from 30 to 50 years ago, pool decks that have weathered decades of sun and pool chemistry, and interior floors that often still have original terrazzo waiting under a layer of carpet.
We also work regularly in Pinecrest, FL, just to the east, where the properties are larger and the terrazzo and pool deck work is similar. If you have questions before scheduling an estimate, call us and we will answer them.
We respond within one business day. Tell us the space, what the floor or deck looks like now, and what you want it to look like - photos are helpful but not required.
We visit the property to check slab condition, moisture levels, and any existing damage. The estimate we leave with you is written, itemized, and has no pressure attached - you decide if and when to move forward.
We grind, repair, and prime the surface before applying any coating or overlay. Preparation is where most flooring failures start, so we do not rush it. Most residential jobs in Kendall are completed in one to three days.
Before we leave, we walk you through the finished work and explain how to maintain it in South Florida's climate - including when to reseal and what to avoid in the first weeks of cure.

(645) 300-7691Kendall is a large unincorporated community in the southwestern part of Miami-Dade County, home to roughly 75,000 to 80,000 residents. It has no traditional downtown - instead, it is a collection of residential subdivisions, strip malls, and shopping centers spread across a wide area of flat, low-lying land. Most of the neighborhood was built between the 1970s and early 1990s, when families moved southwest from Miami in search of larger lots and newer homes. The result is a community dominated by owner-occupied single-family ranch houses, many with private pools, on streets lined with mature landscaping.
Well-known communities within Kendall include The Hammocks and Kendale Lakes, both of which are large master-planned subdivisions built around lakes and greenways. Dadeland Mall, near the northern edge of the area, has been a landmark since the 1960s. The proximity to Everglades National Park just a few miles to the west shapes the landscape and the hydrology - the ground is flat and wet for much of the year, which affects how every home in the area handles drainage. Nearby Pinecrest, FL sits just to the east, where larger lots and older tree canopy create a slightly different context but many of the same concrete flooring challenges.
