Concrete coatings in Mandarin, Florida
Established Jacksonville concrete, often forty or fifty years old, brought back with repair and a polyurethane finish.
Mandarin, FL
What the concrete is like here
Mandarin is old Jacksonville. Plenty of the driveways and carport slabs we look at here were poured in the sixties and seventies, under oaks that have been dropping on them ever since. Staining, root heave and surface loss are all normal at that age.
Not every one of those slabs is worth coating, and we will say so. Where the concrete is sound and the problem is cosmetic, grinding and coating transforms it. Where the slab has broken up or lifted, a coating is money spent on a surface that is going to move again.
For the ones that are worth doing, the result lasts. Repair first, then a UV stable polyurethane system that handles the shade, the damp and the traffic.

Polyurethane instead of epoxy
Epoxy is cheaper to buy and it is genuinely fine indoors, away from daylight. Outdoors in Mandarin 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
