Featuring a recent project in Surf City, Long Beach Island, New Jersey
If you’ve spent any time around Long Beach Island or the Jersey Shore, you’ve probably noticed how many homes are now elevated on pilings. After Hurricane Sandy, thousands of coastal homes were raised to meet updated FEMA flood requirements and lower flood insurance costs.
That changed how homeowners use the ground level of their homes.
Instead of finished living space, these lower levels are now commonly used as garages, workshops, storage areas, outdoor entertaining spaces, and places to keep beach gear, golf carts, bicycles, and fishing equipment.
For these areas, traditional flooring simply doesn’t hold up. That’s one of the reasons more homeowners throughout LBI are choosing polyaspartic flake epoxy flooring from Renu, LLC.
Our recent installation in Surf City is a perfect example of how an epoxy floor transforms an ordinary concrete garage into a clean, durable, low-maintenance space built for coastal living.
Built for Life at the Jersey Shore
Life near the ocean is hard on concrete floors.
Every trip home from the beach brings in:
- Sand
- Salt
- Moisture
- Dirt
- Wet towels
- Coolers
- Fishing gear
- Bikes
- Lawn equipment
Bare concrete absorbs moisture and stains easily. It also creates dust, can crack over time, and becomes difficult to keep clean. A professionally installed polyaspartic floor creates a sealed surface that helps protect the concrete underneath while making the space much easier to maintain.
Why Raised Homes Are Different
Most elevated homes built after Hurricane Sandy have open ground-level spaces designed primarily for parking, storage, and building access.
According to FEMA, enclosed areas below elevated homes located in Special Flood Hazard Areas are generally intended for parking, storage, and building access—not finished living space.
Because these spaces are exposed to changing temperatures, humidity, occasional wind-driven rain, and everyday use, homeowners need flooring that is durable and easy to clean.
Polyaspartic flooring is an excellent solution for these conditions.


Benefits of Polyaspartic Epoxy Floors for Jersey Shore Homes
Easy to Clean
Sand has a way of getting everywhere.
Instead of becoming trapped in porous concrete, sand can be swept or rinsed off an epoxy floor quickly.
Oil drips, sunscreen, salt residue, and muddy footprints wipe away much easier than they do on unfinished concrete.
Resistant to Moisture
While no floor coating can waterproof a building, polyaspartic coatings create a sealed surface that resists moisture penetration into the concrete.
That helps reduce staining and makes cleanup much easier after wet weather or everyday use.
Durable Enough for Everyday Use
Our floors are designed for:
- Cars and trucks
- Golf carts
- Motorcycles
- Boats and trailers
- Lawn equipment
- Tool boxes
- Home workshops
- Heavy storage shelving
The decorative flake system helps hide everyday dirt while the clear polyaspartic topcoat protects against abrasion, chemicals, and UV exposure.
Designed for Coastal Conditions
Ocean County homeowners deal with unique environmental challenges including:
- Salt air
- Humidity
- Temperature swings
- Wind-blown sand
- Seasonal occupancy
These conditions are tough on untreated concrete. A professionally installed polyaspartic system helps protect the surface while maintaining its appearance year after year.
