Professional Concrete Flooring Contractor in Kendall FL - Floors That Handle South Florida Humidity

Kendall is a large unincorporated community in southwest Miami-Dade County, and most of its residential neighborhoods were built between the 1970s and the early 1990s. That means the majority of concrete slabs, driveways, garages, and pool decks in Kendall are between 30 and 50 years old - old enough to show real wear but structurally sound enough that resurfacing and coating make far more sense than full replacement. The homes here are almost entirely slab-on-grade CBS construction. There are no basements in Kendall, and the concrete slabs sit directly on flat, low-lying ground just a few miles east of the Everglades. That geography creates a high and fluctuating water table, and slab moisture vapor is one of the most common reasons epoxy and coating jobs fail in this area when the prep work is skipped.

Hurricane Andrew made landfall just south of Kendall in August 1992 and rebuilt or heavily repaired a significant portion of the housing stock in the area. Homes rebuilt after Andrew were constructed to updated Miami-Dade wind-resistance standards, but even those newer slabs are now 30 years old and dealing with surface wear. The South Florida sun is relentless - the UV index in Miami-Dade County regularly reaches extreme levels during summer months, and exterior coatings break down faster here than in cooler parts of the country. Homeowners who wait for a coating to visibly fail before reapplying are almost always dealing with more substrate damage than they would have had they stayed on a regular maintenance schedule.

Kendall is one of the largest unincorporated communities in Florida, covering a broad swath of southwest Miami-Dade County. It is home to roughly 75,000 to 80,000 people and has no traditional downtown - the area is made up almost entirely of suburban residential neighborhoods, strip shopping centers, and commercial corridors. Most of the housing was built during a rapid growth period between the 1970s and early 1990s, when families moved southwest from Miami in search of larger homes and quieter streets. The result is a community of single-story ranch homes on flat, low-lying lots, most of them with attached garages, private pools, and stucco exteriors typical of Miami-Dade construction. You can read more about the community on the Kendall, Florida Wikipedia page.

The Hammocks is the most recognized neighborhood name in Kendall - a large planned community built around a series of lakes that draws long-term residents who value the community feel. Kendale Lakes, the neighborhoods along North Kendall Drive, and the areas around Dadeland Mall make up the northern part of the community, while the southern sections extend toward Pinecrest and Palmetto Bay. We work throughout all of these areas and also serve nearby Pinecrest, where the housing stock is older and the decorative concrete and terrazzo demands are different from what we typically see in Kendall.
