What it is

A finish, not a renovation.

Microcement is a multi-layer system applied by hand, a few millimeters thick, bonded directly to what is already there. Tile, concrete, drywall. It cures into one continuous waterproof surface with no grout lines anywhere in it.

That matters in Boca Raton for a specific reason. The tile in most homes here is not broken. It is twenty or thirty years old, perfectly sound, and the wrong color. Paying demolition prices to remove something that is not failing is a hard thing to justify. Going over it is not.

The finish goes on floors, shower walls, curbless pans, feature walls, stairs, ceilings and countertops. Same system, same sealer, same hand.

The Boca problem

The tile is fine. That is the problem.

Most of the calls we take from this city are about a floor that works and that nobody likes looking at. Beige twelve-inch tile, or travertine, or a marble-look ceramic from 1998.

01

Sound tile is the best substrate there is.

A floor that is flat, bonded and not moving is exactly what this system wants to go on top of. The thing making you hesitate is the thing that makes the install straightforward.

02

Nothing sits in your driveway.

Country club and HOA communities have rules about containers, contractor parking, and how long a house is allowed to look like a job site. There is no container on this one.

03

It can happen while you are north.

A good share of our Boca work goes in between April and November while the house is empty. You get photographs as it moves and walk into a finished room.

04

One surface, wall to wall.

Where you have four different tiles running across a kitchen, a hall and two baths, this reads as one continuous floor. That is usually the thing people actually wanted.

Each community runs its own approval process. We put the scope in writing before anything starts so you have something to hand them.

The part everyone asks second

What it costs.

Pricing runs on square footage and on which system the surface needs, and the surface decides that, not us. A shower that gets wet every day is a different build from a feature wall.

There is a calculator on the home page that gives you a real range in about a minute, and it emails you the breakdown so you have it in writing. It is a range, honestly labeled as one. The firm number comes after somebody stands in the room.

No hidden materials line

Preparation, primer, mesh, base coats, color coats, sealer and labor are all in the figure.

60 / 40

The deposit reserves your dates. The balance is due once the finish coats are complete, before the final sealer goes on.

Days, not weeks

Your written estimate carries the actual number of days on site for your specific scope.

Common questions

Before you book.

What does microcement cost?

Every project is custom, so pricing depends on surface area, existing conditions and the finish you select. Bathroom projects begin around $6,000, and most full bathrooms land between $6,000 and $18,000 depending on total surface area. Larger floor, wall and ceiling installations typically run $18 to $24 per square foot of total surface area. You get exact numbers after a short consultation.

Can it go over my existing tile?

In most cases, yes. Microcement is applied over existing surfaces like tile, concrete and drywall, which usually means no demolition and no mess. The surface does need to be sound and stable, so we confirm the condition at the site visit before anything is scheduled.

Is it really waterproof?

Yes. The system we install is fully waterproof once the primer and layers are in place, which is what makes it suitable for showers, bathrooms and other wet areas. Bathrooms are one of our most common projects.

Will it crack?

The system we install is an epoxy-based microcement, so unlike air-cured products there is no shrinkage as it cures, and it has very high tensile and compression strength. It will not fix a substrate that is unstable or damp underneath, which is exactly what gets checked before a number is written down.

How many days will you be in my house?

A single bathroom is typically 6 to 8 days on site. A multi-room project, or all the floors in a home, usually runs 8 to 12 days. A whole home is 2 to 4 weeks. Because the finish goes over the existing surface there is no demolition phase, so the schedule is short and predictable.

Do you actually work in Boca Raton?

Yes. Michael is based in Deerfield Beach and runs every project personally from Miami up through Palm Beach, Boca Raton included. If your street is not on the list above, ask. The answer is almost always yes.

Still deciding?

Answer a few questions about your room, then pick a time. Thirty minutes on the phone with Michael, who gives you real numbers rather than a guess. If it looks like a fit, he comes out and measures in person before anything is booked.

Why the installer matters here

Salt air, humidity, and a slab that moves.

South Florida is unkind to finishes. Humidity changes how material cures, coastal buildings carry salt in the air, and what is under your tile is not always what the plans said it was.

The system we install is epoxy-based, so it does not shrink as it cures. Air-cured microcements do, and that is where hairline cracking usually comes from. It will not fix a substrate that is unstable, cracked or damp underneath, which is exactly what gets checked before a number is written down rather than discovered halfway through.

Michael is a certified ForCrete installer, one of the first in the United States, and trains new applicators for ForCrete Americas. The material is not sold to anyone without that certification. On your job he is the one holding the trowel.
