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.

Delray is a rental town as much as a residential one, and it is a hospitality town on top of that. A lot of the calls we take here are about a property that has to look new for the next guest, or a room off Atlantic Avenue that has to survive being used by the public. Both of those are the same problem, and grout is usually where it starts.

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

Rentals, and rooms that get used hard

In a rental, grout is what ages the room.

A tiled bathroom does not look tired because the tile fails. It looks tired because the joints between the tiles stain, and no amount of scrubbing brings them back after a few seasons.

01

There are no grout lines. Anywhere.

Not in the floor, not in the shower, not in the pan. Microcement cures as one continuous surface, so the thing that dates a bathroom is simply not present.

02

Waterproof as one piece.

A tiled shower is waterproof because of what sits behind it and the sealant in the corners. This is waterproof because it is a single membrane with nothing to fail at a joint.

03

It fits between seasons.

There is no demolition phase, so the work lands in the gap between bookings rather than needing the property empty for a month. Your written estimate carries the day count.

04

We are fifteen minutes away.

Deerfield Beach to Delray. If something needs a second look after handover, it does not wait for a route to line up.

The same argument applies to a restaurant floor or a boutique bathroom on Atlantic Avenue. We quote commercial the same way, on square footage and system.

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 Delray Beach?

Yes. Michael is based in Deerfield Beach and runs every project personally from Miami up through Palm Beach, Delray Beach 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.
