Epoxy Flooring in Plantation, FL
Mid-century homes with original concrete sit next to newer infill, so prep differs street to street and starts with a moisture test.
Plantation was laid out on paper before it was built, and that plan is still visible in the concrete. The city was incorporated in 1953, but the idea behind it dates to 1939, when Frederick C. Peters bought roughly ten thousand acres after soil testing, and to the master plan the architect Russell Pancoast drew up in the mid-1940s.
Plantation is really two cities, and the difference is lot size.
The first is the original acre-lot suburb. Chauncey Clark Sr. laid out single-acre lots with a two-bedroom house and a twenty-tree orchard on each, and the first of those homes went up on East Acre Drive in 1947, advertised as a full acre with every home. Fewer than three hundred housing units in the city predate 1950, so that stock is thin but it is still there. Long drives, detached garages, and original concrete that has taken seventy-odd years of traffic.
The second is the mid-century and later build-out. A further sixteen percent of the city's units went up between 1950 and 1969, and about half were built in the 1970s and 1980s. That middle band is where most of the work is, and the slabs vary more than the housing does: some are original, some have been topped or patched, and many have carried a sealer or a coat of paint at some point that has to come off before anything new will hold.
The west side has its own history. In 1964 the Peters family sold 5,400 acres west of University Drive to Gulfstream Land Development, which built Jacaranda. Plantation Acres was annexed in 1973 and designated a rural district, so its character is protected by land-use rule rather than left to the market.
There is a drainage story underneath all of it. Early Plantation flooded badly, with homes lost to ninety-three straight days of rain and two hurricanes, and the city built dikes and pumping stations to control it. Ground that needed engineered drainage to be buildable is ground worth testing before you seal it, which is why we start with a moisture test here rather than a product recommendation.
For driveways and pool decks the questions shift to sun, texture for wet footing and how the surface drains. On anything that changes a footprint, check your HOA and the city before work starts.
Estimates are free and on site, and on the older planned sections it is worth looking at what earlier work is sitting under the surface coat. Call or text (754) 801-8819, or send the form.
