Oakland Park Concrete Floor Coatings
The concrete in Oakland Park has been around longer than most of the businesses on Dixie Highway. Homes here date to the 1950s and 1960s. Small lots, older construction, garages that were built when a single-car space was standard. The slabs in these garages, driveways, and patios carry 60-plus years of Florida weather and daily use.
Oakland Park’s downtown area has seen real change in recent years. New restaurants and small businesses have moved into the Dixie Highway corridor. That commercial growth adds floor coating work alongside the residential jobs that make up the bulk of what Shark Coatings does in this part of Broward.
Older Homes, Older Concrete
The housing stock in Oakland Park is some of the most affordable in eastern Broward, and much of it is original mid-century construction. That means concrete that has been exposed to decades of heat cycling, moisture, and use without any protective coating.
Garage floors in these homes are often small. Single-car garages with tight dimensions. But the condition of the slab is what matters, not the size. We grind the surface to remove decades of buildup and open the concrete. Base coat goes down. Flake is broadcast into the wet base coat for visual depth and a finished look. Topcoat seals and hardens the surface.
A coated garage floor in one of these older Oakland Park homes changes the way the space feels. What was a rough, stained slab becomes a clean, finished surface. The flake adds visual character. The garage starts to function as usable space rather than just storage with a concrete floor.
Outdoor Concrete on Older Lots
Driveways, patios, and walkways on Oakland Park properties face the same issue as the garages. Age and exposure. Many of these homes have driveways that were poured decades ago and have never been resurfaced or coated. Patios behind these older homes are often small but heavily used. Pool decks, where they exist, have been under direct sun for years.
The coating system gives these outdoor surfaces a finished appearance they have never had. Flake options let homeowners pick something that fits the look of the property. The surface cleans easier and holds its appearance through the conditions.
The Downtown Corridor and Small Business Floors
Oakland Park’s downtown along Dixie Highway has become a destination for food and drink. Small restaurants, breweries, and local shops have moved into spaces that used to sit vacant or underused. The floors in these businesses face a different kind of demand: food spills, heavy foot traffic, regular cleaning, and the expectation that the space looks good to customers walking in.
A coated floor in a restaurant or retail space handles that. It maintains its look under daily use and cleans faster than bare concrete or tile over concrete. We work with small business owners and landlords along the corridor on projects sized to fit the space.
Industrial Floor Coatings & Commercial Applications
What the Job Involves
Every project runs the same four steps: Grind, Base Coat, Flake, Topcoat. The grinding is the most important part. It removes whatever is on the surface and gives the coating something to bond to. On older Oakland Park slabs, that step often takes longer because there is more to remove.
Residential interior floors carry a 15-year warranty. Exterior surfaces carry a 5-year warranty. Commercial floors carry a 5-year warranty.
