Epoxy Flooring in Chokoloskee, FL

Epoxy flooring in Chokoloskee serves an island where the boat matters more than the car. Wikipedia describes an economy built mainly on boating, recreational fishing in the Ten Thousand Islands and the Gulf, and ecotourism to Everglades National Park. Garages and sheds here hold skiffs, rods, coolers and outboard parts. Their floors take salt water, fuel and fish, and they need a coating that can handle all of it.

High ground made of shell

Chokoloskee rises to about 20 feet in places, far higher than the 7 feet listed for the community overall. That height comes from shell mounds built up over more than 2,000 years of Native American occupation. Concrete poured on high spots tends to drain better than slabs at the water's edge. We still test, because a slab at a lower spot can read wetter, and the reading decides the primer.

Boat bays and tackle rooms

A boat brought in wet drips salt water onto the slab every time. Trailer jacks press hard on small points, and outboards leak oil and fuel. We suggest building a heavy epoxy base, then a UV-stable topcoat that resists chemicals, with coarse grit for footing. Where a boat is washed in place, we keep the coating sloped to existing drains. A tackle room or bait area may get a smoother, easy-wipe finish.

A guide's business floor

Fishing guides and outfitters often run their business from a garage or small building. That floor sees customers, wet gear and daily cleaning. A clean, light coating makes the space look cared for and easier to keep that way. We can schedule around your fishing season so the work does not interrupt bookings.

Since the causeway

The causeway to Everglades City was completed in 1956, and the modern settlement dates to 1874, per Wikipedia. Many slabs on the island are old and have been patched. We grind away old paint and sealers, fill cracks and pits, and give you a written estimate that shows how much of the job is prep.
