Prep Tips, Pros & What to Know

If you're staring at a worn, cracked, or stained concrete floor and wondering, “Can I epoxy over this?”—the answer is yes… if it’s done right.

At Surface & Concrete Design Solutions, we help homeowners across Central Florida transform their tired garage floors into seamless, durable, high-performing spaces. But when it comes to applying epoxy over old concrete, success starts with proper prep.

Let’s break down what you need to know before diving into your garage transformation.

Why Epoxy Over Concrete Is a Smart Move

Epoxy floors aren’t just pretty—they’re practical. Especially in humid climates like Seminole County, Volusia County, and cities like Fern Park, Casselberry, Altamonte Springs, and Winter Springs, epoxy provides a sealed, moisture-resistant surface that holds up against Florida’s unpredictable weather.

Benefits include:

Easy to clean (goodbye, oil stains and dust!)
Moisture protection for slab longevity
Increased property value
Custom finishes to match your style

But not all concrete is created equal—especially if it’s old.

Step 1: Evaluate the Condition of Your Concrete

Before epoxy goes down, we inspect your slab for key issues:

✔️ Structural Cracks

These deeper cracks need to be addressed first. Epoxy won’t bond properly if your concrete is shifting or breaking underneath.

✔️ Moisture Issues

Living in Florida, we know all too well how ground moisture can affect floors. If your concrete is holding moisture, it can prevent epoxy from adhering or cause bubbling later.

✔️ Surface Contamination

Old adhesives, paint, oil, or sealers? Those all need to be ground off. A clean surface is non-negotiable for a lasting epoxy job.

✔️ Uneven Surfaces

If your floor has high spots, dips, or surface damage from old flooring (like wood or tile glue), we’ll use professional grinding equipment to level and restore it.

Yes—We Can Bring It Back to Life

We’ve worked with homeowners throughout Central Florida who thought their garages were beyond saving. With proper crack repair, grinding, and professional-grade epoxy systems, we’ve turned rough concrete into garage floors worth showing off.

Whether you're in Volusia County, Casselberry, Fern Park, or beyond—our team brings the expertise and equipment to do it right the first time.

What If Your Floor Isn’t Ready?

In some cases, if the concrete is severely damaged or has foundation issues, we’ll walk you through other options—like concrete resurfacing or a grind-and-seal solution. Our goal is to make sure you get a result that looks great and lasts.
