Concrete coatings in Julington Creek, Florida
Concrete here is twenty to thirty years old, which is the age when coating stops being cosmetic and starts being protective.
Julington Creek, FL
What the concrete is like here
Julington Creek Plantation built out largely through the nineties and early two thousands. That concrete is now at the age where the surface paste has worn off, hairline cracking has opened up, and pool deck edges have started to spall where water sits.
That changes the job. On a new slab a coating is mostly a finish. Here it is a repair first. We chase the cracks out properly, patch them structurally, grind the surface back to clean profile and then coat, so the damage does not read back through the finish in a year.
The upside is that the result is dramatic. A thirty year old driveway or pool deck that has gone grey and patchy comes back looking like new concrete, and it is better protected than it ever was from the builder.

Polyurethane instead of epoxy
Epoxy is cheaper to buy and it is genuinely fine indoors, away from daylight. Outdoors in Julington Creek it yellows, chalks and lets go at the edges. Every exterior job we do is specified in polyurethane for that reason.
PolyurethaneWhat we use
- About five times stronger than epoxy
- UV stable, so it does not yellow
- Resists pool chemicals and oil
- Built for outdoors and high traffic
- Longer service life
EpoxyWhat we replace
- Less durable under traffic
- Prone to yellowing in sunlight
- Scratches more easily
- Shorter lifespan outdoors
- Not made for Florida sun
