Plantation

Plantation has some of the oldest housing stock we regularly work in, and that makes it the city where moisture testing matters most. Much of the city developed through the 1960s and 1970s, an era when under-slab vapor barriers were not routine in South Florida residential construction. Combined with the sandy subgrade and high water table across this part of Broward, that produces exactly the conditions where a coating installed without testing lifts off in blisters within a couple of seasons.

We are not saying that to sell you a primer. Plenty of Plantation slabs test perfectly fine and get a standard install at the standard price. The point is that here, more than in the newer western communities, the test is the difference between a floor that lasts and a floor you pay for twice. Any contractor who quotes a Plantation garage without mentioning moisture has not thought about it.

The garages themselves are typically two car and often on the smaller side, in the 380 to 450 square foot range, which puts a lot of Plantation jobs near our minimum. Plantation Acres, out west, is the exception. Those are large lots with detached garages, workshops and outbuildings, and the jobs run considerably bigger.

Jacaranda, developed from the 1970s into the 1980s, sits in between on both counts. Slabs are somewhat newer than the original Plantation neighborhoods and garages are generally larger.

In Plantation, we offer the full range of service: garage floors, pool decks & patios, driveways, commercial. Every engagement starts with a free consultation and is built around your needs. Call (954) 932-9393 to talk it through.
