Flooring Contractor in Mims, FL - Prepped Right for Garages, Shops and Patios
Northline Titusville Concrete Coatings is a flooring contractor based in Titusville that coats, polishes and seals concrete in Mims, from garage slabs and pool decks to detached shops and small commercial floors that take heavy use.
Mims as we see it from the slab up
Mims sits just north of us in Titusville, and the calls we get here usually come from bigger lots, where an older block home shares the yard with a detached garage, a pole barn or a workshop that's seen years of tools, trucks and spilled oil. Newer houses mix in with the older ones, and a handful of small businesses need floors that hold up to carts and equipment, which is where our commercial and industrial epoxy floor coatings come in.
Older slabs out here have often been patched or painted more than once, and a detached shop often sits on a slab poured without much thought for what would go on it later, so we plan to grind and test before we ever talk color.
What to know before a floor job in Mims
For addresses in unincorporated Brevard County, building permits go through the county's Planning and Development Department, so check which office covers your parcel, because that office decides the paperwork and inspections for your job. When a floor job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork and inspections with that office and go over where it stands at the estimate, since that can move your start date more than the work does. We're fully licensed and insured, and before you hire anyone, ask to see their Florida contractor license and their Local Business Tax Receipt from the Brevard County Tax Collector, which most businesses here are required to have.
We work Mims the same way we work Port Saint John and the cities around Titusville, starting with the slab instead of the sample board. Your price comes down to the size of the floor, how much grinding and crack repair it needs, whether an old coating has to come off, and which system goes down. The schedule turns on the moisture test, any permit the job needs and the weather while it cures, and you'll only know some of that once I've tested the concrete.
What the weather and ground here do to your concrete
Flooding in Brevard County comes from heavy rain in a short stretch and from storm surge off the Atlantic, the St. Johns River and the Indian River Lagoon, and a garage or shop that sits low usually takes that water first. A slab that's been soaked can hold moisture well after it looks dry, which is why I test before we coat or cover it and pick a system that slab can actually handle.
Sun is the other thing. Plain epoxy can yellow on a floor that sees daylight through an open garage door or out on a pool deck, so on those floors we usually lean toward a polyaspartic topcoat and add texture where wet feet will cross it.

(321) 335-1578How it works when you call us about a floor in Mims
Call us or send the form
Most days I'm the one who picks up the phone. Tell me what the floor is, whether it's a garage, shop or pool deck, and what's on it now.
I come look at the slab
I come out myself to check the cracks, stains and any old coating, and I test for moisture when we'd be coating or covering it. Pull enough out of the garage or shop that I can see most of the floor.
You get a written scope
I walk you through what I found, then write up the prep, the products and the stretch you'll need to stay off the floor. We also go over whether the job needs a permit.
We sort out any permit
If the job needs one, we handle the paperwork and inspections with the office that covers your address. The county says requirements, inspections and conditions vary by the type of project, so the start date waits on that.
Our crew preps and coats
Our crew lead and our own crew grind and repair the slab, and I check the prep before any coating goes down. When it's done, we walk the finished floor together.

Mims concrete floor questions
Do I need a permit to coat my garage floor in Mims?
Ask the county before work starts, because its list of residential permits doesn't name floor coatings, and that doesn't settle the question either way. The county's permit types cover work like additions, renovation, demolition, pools and reroofing, and we'll go over what applies to your job at the estimate.
How do I file a building permit myself as an owner-builder in Brevard County?
You file it in person, because the county requires owners acting as their own contractor to appear in person to submit the application. If we're the contractor and the job needs a permit, we handle that paperwork, so you won't need to make the trip.
Does a Florida certified contractor license cover work in Mims?
Yes, a certified contractor license from the state is good anywhere in Florida, Mims included. A registered license only covers the cities or counties where the holder has a certificate of competency, so look the license up with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and for county trade licenses call Brevard County Contractor Licensing and Certification at (321) 633-2058.
How much does it cost to coat a garage floor in Mims?
It comes down to the size of the slab, how much prep it needs and which coating system goes on it, so I don't give a number until I've seen the floor. Cracks, oil stains, an old coating that has to come off and a high moisture reading all add work, while a sound bare slab and a simpler finish keep it lower.
What causes epoxy to peel off a garage floor in Florida?
Usually it's poor prep or moisture coming up through the slab, not the coating itself. Most failed floors I've been asked to fix had the coating rolled onto concrete that was never ground open or tested, and hot tires pulled it loose from there, which is why we grind and test first.
How long does a garage floor coating take to cure in Mims humidity?
It depends on the product and the heat and humidity that week, so the written scope names how long you'll need to stay off the floor once I know both. A polyaspartic topcoat usually lets you back on sooner than a standard epoxy, which matters when the garage is where your car lives.
