Lauderhill is a densely settled city of about 75,000 people in just 8 square miles, and the bulk of its housing stock went up during the postwar Florida building boom from the late 1950s through the 1980s. Those homes are now 40 to 65 years old, and the slabs they sit on were typically poured without vapor barriers or moisture management systems that became standard in later construction. The city sits on flat, low-lying land with a high water table, which means ground moisture has been pushing up through those slabs continuously. On uncoated and unsealed surfaces, that shows up as surface dusting, efflorescence, staining, and cracking that gets worse each year it goes unaddressed.

Concrete block construction is the standard across virtually every property in Lauderhill, from single-family ranch homes to duplexes and low-rise apartment buildings. CBS construction requires specific techniques for drilling, anchoring, and surface patching that differ from wood-frame work - contractors unfamiliar with it make mistakes that show up quickly. Hurricane season from June through November adds another layer of stress on exterior surfaces, and Lauderhill has experienced direct and indirect impacts from major storms including Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and Hurricane Irma in 2017. The Florida sun also works on concrete and coatings year-round without a frost season to give surfaces a break, which is why sealers and coatings break down faster here than in most of the country. Staying ahead of that deterioration with properly applied surface protection is the most cost-effective approach for Lauderhill homeowners.

Lauderhill is a city of about 75,000 people located between Fort Lauderdale and Sunrise in central Broward County, covering roughly 8 square miles. The city developed rapidly during the postwar Florida building boom, and the result is a dense grid of single-story CBS ranch homes, duplexes, and low-rise apartment buildings that mostly date from the 1960s through the 1980s. According to the city profile, Lauderhill has one of the largest Jamaican-American and Caribbean-American populations in the United States, a community identity that has shaped the city for decades and that is reflected in its businesses, events, and neighborhoods.

The Central Broward Regional Park is one of the largest public spaces in the county and a landmark that most Lauderhill residents know well. The park also includes the cricket stadium that has hosted international West Indies matches, putting Lauderhill on the map beyond Broward County. Homes in Lauderhill sit on small lots, and most of the residential streets are quiet and well established. Neighboring Pompano Beach to the northeast and Coconut Creek to the north are cities we also serve regularly with the same concrete flooring work.
