An Old Neighborhood With Water on Three Sides
Epoxy flooring in Colee Hammock means coating concrete in one of Fort Lauderdale's earliest residential areas. A city architectural survey describes it as geographically distinct, bounded by Broward Boulevard to the north, the Sospiro Canal to the east, the New River to the south and the Himmarshee Canal and SE 9th and 12th Avenues to the west. With water on three sides, moisture is part of every floor decision here.
Three possible historic districts
The same survey mapped three potential historic districts inside the neighborhood:
- a Northeast group with periods of significance from 1918 to 1949,
- a Northwest group from 1924 to 1955,
- a small Art Moderne cluster on SE 2nd Court from 1928 to 1940.
It also documented 21 individual properties as possible landmarks. If your home is one of them, garage and porch work may draw interest from preservation staff, so it is worth a call to the city before changing exterior concrete.
Concrete that survived the 1926 storm
The 1926 Miami hurricane killed 50 people in Fort Lauderdale and destroyed about 3,500 structures. Homes in Colee Hammock that predate it, or went up right after, may sit on slabs that are thin, soft or repaired many times. We test hardness, look at old patches, and adjust grinding so we open the surface without chewing it up. Spalled edges get a compatible repair mortar before the primer goes down.
Art Moderne and the right floor
Art Moderne design is all smooth curves and clean, horizontal lines. A seamless solid-color floor, or a subtle metallic in silver or pearl, can carry that feel into a garage-turned-studio or a covered terrace. For a working garage in a 1920s house, a muted flake blend gives grip and hides dirt without looking out of place.
Life under the oaks
Colee Hammock's oak-lined streets are lovely, but shade keeps outdoor slabs damp and invites mildew and leaf stains. On patios and driveways that stay in shadow, we favor a textured topcoat that can be pressure-washed on a low setting, and colors that blend with leaf litter rather than show it.

Colee Hammock Questions
Is my Colee Hammock home in a historic district?
The city's survey mapped potential districts and landmarks here, not all formally designated. Check with the city's historic preservation office before exterior concrete work. We can work around their guidance.
What floor suits an Art Moderne house?
Smooth, seamless finishes fit the style. A solid color in a soft sheen or a quiet metallic works well inside. For a busy garage, a fine flake blend keeps grip without clashing.
Can you coat a patio that stays shaded all day?
Yes, as long as the concrete is sound. We clean and treat mildew, grind, check moisture and finish with a textured, UV-stable topcoat.
How do you handle very old, soft concrete?
We test hardness first, use lighter grinding where needed and may add a penetrating primer to firm the surface. Badly spalled areas get repaired before coating.
