Apex Epoxy Flooring Services & Coatingsfor St. Petersburg garages, homes & businesses.
Whatever your floor takes all day, there's an Apex system for it. Hover any industry to see the fit.
Explore our most popular flake, metallic, solid-color and marble finishes. We bring physical samples to every free in-home estimate so you can see them on your slab.
Every layer engineered for the Tampa Bay area heat, St. Petersburg humidity, and the demands of a real garage floor.
01
Prepared Concrete Slabdiamond-ground to CSP-2/3
Your slab, diamond-ground to a Concrete Surface Profile of 2 to 3, cracks filled, moisture confirmed — the step that matters most on Pinellas County's high-water-table lots. Get this layer wrong and nothing above it survives.
We roll a pigmented, self-leveling 100%-solids epoxy wet-on-wet straight onto the ground slab. This is where the color depth and the film build come from — the thickness that separates a bonded floor from a paint job.
03
Vinyl Flake Broadcasthand-cast to full rejection
We hand-cast vinyl flakes into the wet basecoat until it won't take another. Overnight it cures, then gets scraped flat and vacuumed. One layer, three jobs: color, camouflage, and grip underfoot.
04
Polyaspartic TopcoatUV-stable, chemical-resistant
The surface you actually walk on. An aliphatic polyaspartic topcoat locks in the flake and stands up to St. Petersburg's year-round sun, Gulf salt air, brake fluid, and hot tires. Your 25-year warranty begins here.

St. Petersburg Epoxy FAQs
Answers From Our Epoxy Flooring Professionals
The questions St. Petersburg homeowners actually search before coating a garage floor — answered honestly, including the downsides.
For a St. Petersburg two-car garage, most installed prices sit somewhere between $1,800 and $2,700. Our flake system is fixed: $2,300 for a 2-car, $2,700 for a 3-car, with nothing tacked on afterward. Across the industry, professional coatings generally run $5–$15 per square foot once you factor in the system and any slab repair. At your free in-home estimate you walk away with one firm number — not a range to worry about.
At roughly 400 square feet, a 20×20 garage falls squarely into standard 2-car territory, so our flake system puts it in the $2,300 range when the slab is sound. What moves that number is the concrete itself — heavy cracking, deep pitting, or an old failing coating that has to be ground off first. Whatever we find, you hear it before we begin, never mid-job.
Nationally a professional 2-car install averages $1,500–$4,000, versus $300–$900 for a DIY kit. Across St. Petersburg and Pinellas County, real quotes tend to settle in the $1,870–$2,700 band. A number far below that usually means thin material, an acid etch instead of diamond grinding, or a single-coat product that won’t last.
It comes down to prep, almost every time. A $900 quote buys a roller, a bucket, and one afternoon — no grinding, no moisture testing, no crack repair. A serious quote covers mechanically diamond-grinding the slab to a CSP 2–3 profile, filling cracks, and confirming the moisture reading first. That difference in prep is the single biggest reason one floor is still solid at 20 years while another peels inside two.
All of it: diamond-grind prep, crack and pit repair, the moisture testing St. Petersburg slabs need, a 100%-solids pigmented epoxy basecoat, a full vinyl flake broadcast, a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat, and a written, transferable 25-year warranty. No trip fees, no surprise add-ons after the fact.
Compared to tile, generally yes — tile runs more to install, and its grout lines crack and stain under garage use. Next to polished concrete the cost is roughly even, but a coated floor adds color, flake, and a sealed, non-porous surface that shrugs off oil and chemicals — something bare polished concrete simply can’t match.
For a St. Petersburg garage, yes — provided it’s installed properly. A bare slab sheds dust and soaks up oil; a correctly coated floor becomes a sealed, non-porous surface you can sweep or hose down, shrugging off brake fluid and hot tires and making the space feel finished. What it’s worth comes down to the prep underneath — spray a coating over an unground slab and you’ve just bought a floor that will peel.
Three real ones: a cheap epoxy floor can peel, uncoated epoxy can amber or yellow under strong sun, and any glossy surface turns slippery when wet. We engineer around each — diamond grinding for a mechanical bond, a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat that holds its color, and a full vinyl-flake broadcast that builds genuine grip into the surface. The downsides are real, but every one of them is solvable.
When the slab isn’t ready. On St. Petersburg’s high water table, a slab pulling moisture from below will bubble a coating loose, and unaddressed cracking or heaving just gets trapped underneath. Slabs soaked by storm surge need to dry and be tested first. That’s why we moisture-test before quoting — if yours isn’t a candidate, we’ll say so, not sell you a floor that fails.
A bare glossy coating can be, yes. Our flake and quartz systems solve it by broadcasting decorative chips into the wet basecoat, which leaves a fine texture that grips underfoot — you notice it the moment you pull a rain-soaked car in during one of the Gulf Coast’s afternoon downpours. For wash-down zones or wet areas, we can broadcast extra slip aggregate on top.
Not the way a kitchen remodel does, but few upgrades give this much visible return for the money. A finished garage floor photographs well, reads instantly as a well-cared-for home, and is among the first things buyers notice. And since our 25-year warranty transfers to the next owner, it’s a genuine selling point, not just cosmetic.
A professionally installed system runs 10–20 years, and comfortably longer once the prep is done right. Big-box DIY kits usually start peeling or ambering inside 2–5 years — they’re thin, water-based, and rolled over an unground slab, which the Pinellas County sun and humidity punish faster than most. Our system is backed by a written 25-year warranty.
A properly installed flake floor at the five-year mark looks essentially like day one — perhaps a touch less gloss along the main tire path. A poorly prepped floor tells a different story by year five: patches lifting where the tires park, chipping at the door line, and yellowing anywhere direct sun reaches it.
Not when the prep is right. Google’s own rundown of epoxy failures says it plainly — up to 80% of failures trace back to poor surface preparation. Peeling and hot-tire pickup come from a weak bond; bubbles come from trapped moisture, which matters on St. Petersburg’s sand-and-shell slabs where a high water table drives vapor up through the concrete. We diamond-grind to a CSP 2–3 profile and moisture-test every slab so neither can take hold.
Straight epoxy ambers over time under UV — that’s chemistry, not workmanship. It’s the exact reason we never leave bare epoxy as the wear layer. The polyaspartic topcoat we finish with is UV-stable, so the color holds even under the relentless year-round sun with the garage door thrown open all summer.
Yes. Hot-tire pickup occurs when hot rubber grabs a soft or poorly bonded coating and peels it away. Our polyaspartic topcoat cures hard and stays that way through Tampa Bay’s summer heat, and because it’s bonded to a diamond-ground slab, the tires simply roll off it clean.
It’s not either-or — the two do different jobs, so we run both. Epoxy brings film thickness, color depth, and a deep mechanical bond into the slab. Polyaspartic brings fast curing, chemical resistance, and the UV stability that matters under St. Petersburg’s year-round sun. We lay a 100%-solids epoxy base, broadcast flake, then seal it with a polyaspartic topcoat — the best of each without the weaknesses of either.
Depends on the layer. As a wear coat, yes — polyaspartic beats epoxy on UV stability, cure speed, and hot-tire resistance. As a basecoat, a 100%-solids epoxy still wins on film build and bond. The answer is a two-part system, not one miracle product — anyone pitching a single-product floor is optimizing for their labor, not your slab.
A multi-layer build outlasts any single product: a mechanically ground slab, a 100%-solids epoxy base, full flake or quartz broadcast, and a polyaspartic wear layer. What decides longevity is total film thickness and bond quality — not the brand name on the bucket.
Sure, and on a light-use slab a DIY kit might last a few years. Here’s the honest tradeoff: big-box kits are thin, usually water-based, and rely on an acid etch instead of mechanical grinding — which is why they tend to fail in 2–5 years, sooner in St. Petersburg’s heat and humidity. Once you tally the grinder rental, the materials, and a lost weekend, the DIY route often lands closer to a professional quote than folks expect.
Only once the old coating is handled properly. If it’s already delaminating — common on slabs that took on water in the 2024 storm surge — coating over it just inherits that failure. We grind the old system back to sound concrete, re-establish a clean profile, and moisture-test first. That adds labor, and we price it honestly at the estimate.
Nearly every St. Petersburg garage is a single-day install. Diamond grinding and prep happen in the morning; the epoxy basecoat and flake broadcast go down next, and the polyaspartic topcoat seals everything by evening. Bigger commercial or industrial floors can stretch to two days — either way, you’ll have the full schedule before we ever lift a grinder.
Plan on walking across it roughly 4 hours after we finish and rolling the car back in at the 24-hour mark. Credit the polyaspartic topcoat for that quick turnaround — a conventional straight-epoxy floor would strand you out of the garage for several days.
It’s a layered build, not a single coat. On St. Petersburg slabs that read high on a moisture test we start with a vapor-barrier primer, then roll a pigmented 100%-solids epoxy basecoat edge to edge, broadcast vinyl flake to full rejection, and finish with a clear polyaspartic topcoat. The cured flake gets scraped and vacuumed smooth before that last coat goes down.
Keep it swept or dust-mopped, then rinse it down or run a damp mop with a mild cleaner whenever it needs it — no wax, no resealing, no specialty chemicals. The coating is non-porous, so oil, brake fluid, and road grime rest on the surface and wipe up rather than soaking into the concrete.
Yes. A single gouge — a dropped jack stand, the corner of a heavy toolbox — can be patched and feathered in without recoating the whole garage. That’s one of the quiet perks of a flake finish: the speckled pattern swallows the repair so you’d be hard-pressed to spot it later.
Any month works. Polyaspartic cures across a wide temperature range and the work happens inside your garage, so St. Petersburg’s heavy summer humidity and frost-free winters never stop us — on the muggiest days we simply watch the dew point as we coat. What we test for in every season is slab moisture, which matters far more to a lasting floor than the date on the calendar.
It affects the install, which is why we test first. St. Petersburg sits on a sand-and-shell aquifer with a high water table, so slabs here push moisture vapor up from below — coat over that with no barrier and you invite bubbling and delamination later. We read the moisture on every slab and use a vapor-barrier primer wherever the numbers call for it.
Salt air goes after porous surfaces — it works into bare or lightly sealed concrete and pits it, and St. Petersburg has near-water lots on every side. A seamless, non-porous, fully bonded system gives chlorides nothing to grab, which is why we build a waterfront St. Pete Beach garage the same way we do an inland Largo one.
Not under a system that’s installed right. Mold needs moisture and a food source, and a fully bonded, non-porous coating over a moisture-tested slab leaves no gap for water to collect. In a humid, high-water-table area like Pinellas County that matters — the trouble starts only when someone coats a damp slab with no barrier, the exact failure our moisture testing rules out.
Yes — we cover Pinellas County top to bottom: St. Petersburg itself plus Clearwater, Largo, Pinellas Park, Gulfport, Seminole, Kenneth City, St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Tierra Verde, Dunedin, Safety Harbor, Madeira Beach, Redington Beach, South Pasadena, Lealman, and Bay Pines, along with Tampa across the bay.

I had my 600 squarefoot garage floor done years ago by another company and it was a disaster. After searching online, I came across Apex Epoxy Flooring and it was a huge relief.

I am thrilled with my garage floor! Blake walked me through the whole process on the phone and was very patient with all my questions. They offered me a great deal on a 3 car garage and did a fantastic job with the application. The whole thing was done in one day by 2 of their guy's that acted like gentlemen. Very happy with the service.

Our basement had constant moisture problems, and paint kept peeling. Apex Epoxy Flooring of St. Petersburg came in with a metallic epoxy finish that is made to withstand the moisture of having a basement in FL..... It has been a few months and it is holding up perfect. Happy with the product.

Polyaspartic coating from Apex on our showroom floor was worth every penny.
AAtlas Stonea year ago
Between the Florida humidity and salt air, our old concrete was breaking down fast. Apex explained the options clearly, gave us a fair estimate, and sealed the floor with a coating that’s held up beautifully through storms and foot traffic. They were clean, quick, and easy to work with. Now we use the space way more than we ever expected to.
