Epoxy Flooring in Sunrise, FL: Garage & Commercial Floor Coating
Sunrise sits on the western edge of Broward, where older neighborhoods like Springtree and the streets around Sunrise Lakes meet newer Sawgrass-area townhomes and the retail and office corridor around Sawgrass Mills. That mix means we coat everything from a two-car garage in a single-family home to a showroom floor off the Sawgrass Expressway. This page covers what works on Sunrise slabs, what it costs, how installation runs day by day, and when a different system makes more sense. We also serve nearby Plantation, Tamarac, Weston and Davie.
The Short Answer
Epoxy flooring in Sunrise, FL means a diamond-ground, moisture-tested slab coated with a flake or solid epoxy base and a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat, for both home garages and commercial floors. Residential epoxy typically runs $5–$12 per sq ft, so a two-car garage usually lands between $2,500 and $5,000; commercial coatings run roughly $4–$12 per sq ft. Most garages are finished in one to two days. Art of Coating Miami builds Sunrise floors to handle humid slabs, hot-tire pickup and afternoon storms.

Sunrise Homes, Townhomes and Commercial Floors
Most residential calls in Sunrise come from single-family homes in Springtree, Welleby and the neighborhoods off Nob Hill Road, plus townhome communities closer to Sawgrass where the garage doubles as storage, a home gym or a workshop. Those garages see hot tires, dropped tools, pool chemicals and the occasional oil drip, so a garage floor coating needs real abrasion and chemical resistance, not a coat of paint. On the commercial side, the corridor around Sawgrass Mills and the business parks near the Sawgrass Expressway and Flamingo Road hold retail stores, medical and professional offices, showrooms and light industrial bays. Those floors deal with carts, pallet jacks, rolling chairs and daily wet mopping, and many owners need the work done without closing for a week.
Sunrise Slabs, Humidity and Summer Storms
Much of western Broward was developed on drained land at the edge of the Everglades, and the water table under many Sunrise neighborhoods sits close to the surface. Slabs on grade can push moisture vapor upward, especially after a week of afternoon storms, and that vapor is a common reason coatings blister or lift. Before we recommend a system, we run moisture tests using ASTM F1869 calcium chloride or ASTM F2170 relative humidity methods, and when readings call for it we add a vapor-mitigating primer. Older garages in Springtree and around Sunrise Lakes often have shrinkage cracks, worn trowel finishes, old sealers or paint, and spalled control joints near the apron. Heat matters too: a closed Sunrise garage in August gets hot, and hot tires can lift low-grade coatings, so we build for that from the primer up.
Recommended Epoxy Systems for Sunrise Floors
For most Sunrise garages we recommend a flake epoxy system: a penetrating epoxy base, a full broadcast of decorative vinyl flake, and a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat that resists yellowing and hot-tire pickup. Owners who want a showroom look can choose metallic epoxy, which runs roughly $8–$15 per sq ft. For retail, offices and showrooms, solid-color epoxy or a quartz broadcast with a polyaspartic or urethane topcoat gives a cleanable, durable surface, and polished concrete is worth considering where the slab is in good shape. Light industrial bays with forklifts, hot washdown or heavy chemicals may call for urethane cement instead. Slip-resistant aggregate can be added to any of these topcoats for entries, wash areas and ramps. We follow each manufacturer's technical data sheets for mix ratios, film thickness and recoat windows.
How We Install Epoxy Flooring in Sunrise
Every project starts with a free on-site assessment where we look at the slab, test moisture, check cracks and joints, and talk through finish options. After you approve a written, itemized estimate, the installation follows the same sequence. We diamond-grind the floor to the concrete surface profile the coating manufacturer specifies and capture the dust with vacuum-attached equipment. Cracks, joints and spalls are filled and ground flush. Then the primer or base coat goes down, followed by flake, quartz or color depending on the system, and finally the topcoat. Grinding is the step that separates a floor that lasts from one that peels; acid etching and roller-grade kits do not open the surface enough for Sunrise slabs. The International Concrete Repair Institute publishes the surface profile guidance we grind to.
Epoxy Flooring Cost in Sunrise, FL
Residential epoxy in Sunrise typically runs $5–$12 per sq ft installed, which puts a standard two-car garage between $2,500 and $5,000. Where you land depends on slab condition, the amount of crack and joint repair, whether moisture readings call for a vapor-mitigating primer, and the system you choose; a standard flake floor sits toward the lower end, while metallic epoxy runs roughly $8–$15 per sq ft. Commercial coatings for Sunrise retail, office and showroom floors run roughly $4–$12 per sq ft, with urethane cement higher. Polished concrete is roughly $3–$8 per sq ft where the slab allows it. Professional epoxy typically lasts 10–15 years, and polyaspartic-topcoated systems 15–20+ years, so cost per year matters more than the opening number. Your written estimate itemizes each step.
What to Expect Day by Day in Sunrise
Before day one, clear the garage completely, including shelving that is not bolted down, and plan to park outside. Day one is grinding, crack and joint repair, and in most garages the base coat and flake broadcast. Day two we scrape and vacuum the excess flake and apply the polyaspartic topcoat. Many Sunrise garages are done in one to two days; larger homes, heavy repairs or moisture mitigation can add time. Light foot traffic and parking follow the cure times on the product data sheet, which we give you in writing so there is no guessing. For commercial floors, we can phase work by zone or schedule after hours so a store or office near Sawgrass Mills stays open while the floor is coated.
Is Epoxy Right for Your Sunrise Floor?
A flake epoxy system with a polyaspartic topcoat fits most Sunrise garages: it handles hot tires, hides minor flaws, cleans easily and holds up to humidity when the slab is properly prepped. Metallic epoxy fits owners who want a showroom finish and accept that it shows scratches more than flake does. For a retail floor or office that wants a low-maintenance, modern look and has a sound slab, polished concrete can be the better value. Light industrial bays with forklifts, hot-water washdown or heavy chemical exposure are better served by urethane cement or an industrial epoxy build. If your slab tests high for moisture and you would rather skip a vapor-mitigating primer, we will tell you before you spend money that a coating is not the right call.
