Ten minutes from
our front door.
Microcement applied over your existing tile. One continuous waterproof surface with no grout lines anywhere in it, from a shop that is closer to your house than most of the trades you have already called.
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.
Pompano is the closest city on our map. A lot of what we are called into here was built between 1972 and 1989, which means the tile is dated but the substrate underneath it is usually excellent. That combination is the single best case for this material, and it is why the quote here is more often a yes than anywhere else we work.
The finish goes on floors, shower walls, curbless pans, feature walls, stairs, ceilings and countertops. Same system, same sealer, same hand.
The tile is dated. The slab is not.
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.
Sound old tile is the best substrate there is.
Nineteen-eighties tile that is flat, bonded and not hollow is a better base than a fresh screed. It is already flat and it is already stuck down. We check it before a number is written.
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.
We are ten minutes away.
Deerfield Beach to Pompano. If something needs a second look after handover, it does not wait for a route to line up.
The same argument applies to a rental unit or a lobby bathroom on the barrier island. We quote commercial the same way, on square footage and system.
Drag to watch the tile disappear.
No demolition, no new plumbing, no tile torn out. Microcement applied directly over the existing surface.
Drag the handle, or use the left and right arrow keys.
Want the number for your room?
The calculator asks for square footage and which surfaces you are doing, then emails you a real range in about a minute. You get it in writing without talking to anyone first.

Pompano Beach, and everything around it.
Michael is based in Deerfield Beach and runs every project personally. Pompano is the nearest city on this list, which makes it the easiest place we work to schedule tightly.
Not on the list? Ask. If it is between Miami and Palm Beach the answer is almost always yes.
We also work in Lighthouse Point, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Coral Springs and Delray Beach.
The man who teaches this system
leads your project.
Monarch was founded by Michael Daniels, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and one of the first certified ForCrete installers in the country. He trains new applicators for ForCrete Americas, and he leads every Monarch project personally alongside a crew he trained himself.
He lives in Deerfield Beach and works from Miami up through Palm Beach. When you call about your Pompano Beach project, you talk to him.
Book a free consultationWhat 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.
Preparation, primer, mesh, base coats, color coats, sealer and labor are all in the figure.
The deposit reserves your dates. The balance is due once the finish coats are complete, before the final sealer goes on.
Your written estimate carries the actual number of days on site for your specific scope.

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