How The Hammocks shapes the floors we work on

The Hammocks is a planned community in Miami-Dade County that runs from SW 88th Street down to SW 120th Street, and from SW 137th Avenue out to SW 177th Avenue. Most of our calls here come from single-family homes and townhouses set around Hammocks Lake and the smaller lakes, with condo buildings mixed in and a steady run of shops and small businesses along the main roads. It sits just west of Kendall and a short drive north of our home base in Country Walk, so the garages, patios and pool decks look a lot like the ones we coat every week.

The ground is what I watch here. Miami-Dade sits close to sea level, the groundwater is just below the surface, and a big storm can leave rainwater with nowhere to drain. That moisture works up into a slab from underneath, which is why I test the concrete before we pick a coating, because I'd rather tell you a slab isn't ready than coat it and hope.

Floor work we do for Hammocks homes and businesses

What to know before floor work starts in The Hammocks

Before we schedule a floor here, I check which office covers your address, because that decides who issues any permit. In unincorporated Miami-Dade it's the county's Regulatory and Economic Resources department, and inside a city's limits it's that city's building official. If your job needs a permit or other approval, we handle the application and tell you what you need to sign, and the start date waits until it's issued. When you're checking on any contractor, look for a state license, keeping in mind that a certified license is good anywhere in Florida while a registered one only covers the places where the holder has a certificate of competency. Ask for the county's local business tax receipt too, plus a city receipt if the business is inside a city, and check that it's current, since receipts run a year from October 1 to September 30. We're fully licensed and insured, and I'm glad to show you.

Price on a Hammocks floor comes down to the slab more than the size of the room. How much old coating or glue has to come off, how many cracks and low spots need fixing, what the moisture test says and which finish you pick all move the number, and I'll give you yours once I've seen and tested the floor. The schedule turns on any permit, the weather for outdoor work and how long the coating has to cure before you walk or park on it. Many neighborhoods here have association rules on work hours and where a trailer can park, so we sort that out with you ahead of time, the same way we do on jobs in Kendale Lakes and Three Lakes.

  • Expect me to test the slab for moisture at the estimate, since a damp reading changes the primer or the coating we'd recommend.
  • Tell us about any association rules on work hours, trailers or parking, so the crew can set up without trouble on the first morning.
  • Pool decks and patios need a dry stretch, and a summer afternoon storm can push a coat to the next day, so outdoor dates stay a little loose.
  • Plan where your cars will sit while a garage coating cures, because driving on it too soon can leave marks that don't come out.
  • Clear out the garage or room, or tell us what needs moving, since an empty floor is what lets us grind it edge to edge.

Questions Hammocks homeowners ask about floor work

Do I need a permit for floor work in The Hammocks if the job costs under $7,500?

A state law lets qualifying work valued under $7,500 go ahead without a building permit on single-family homes, duplexes, townhouses and their accessory structures, but condos and other multi-family buildings don't qualify, and neither does a property that's even partly in a flood hazard area. Electrical, plumbing, structural, mechanical and gas work still needs a permit at any price, and the county keeps its list of permit exemptions online. We check which office covers your address and whether your job needs a permit before we put it on the schedule.

Can a flooring crew grind concrete at night in The Hammocks?

Not without a waiver, because the county bars noise-producing construction equipment at or near homes between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. Work in those hours needs a Temporary Noise Ordinance Waiver before it starts, and that waiver requires an active building permit. We plan our grinding for daytime, so on a home job it rarely comes up.

Will redoing my floors make me raise my house in a Miami-Dade flood zone?

Only if the county's 50% rule kicks in, which happens when an Elevation Certificate shows a flood zone house sits below the required elevation and the damage or improvements come to more than half its market value. A floor job on its own is usually a small part of a house's value, but if it's part of a bigger remodel or storm repair, ask the county about the whole project. Our estimate spells out our share of the work so you have it in hand.
