Independent Comparison
Mako Flooring and Miami Prime overlap on the map — both serve Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade — but the two companies are built around different centers of gravity. Mako's menu spans general concrete work; Miami Prime goes deep on engineered resin systems.

About Mako Flooring
Mako Flooring is an independent South Florida company describing itself as concrete coating specialists since 2019, serving Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade — Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Miami, Pompano Beach, Hollywood and Coral Gables among them (per makoflooring.com).
Their advertised range is notably broad on the concrete side: poly flake floor coatings, anti-slip treatments for tile and stone, concrete paint, staining and stamping, new concrete pours for driveways and patios, concrete and stone polishing, pressure washing — even grinder rental. Their site advertises a 15-year warranty and over a thousand completed jobs.
About Miami Prime
Miami Prime is an independent epoxy and concrete-coating company based in South Florida, serving Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties. We install engineered resin systems — garage floor coatings, custom metallic epoxy, decorative flake, quartz, polyaspartic top coats and commercial/industrial floors — and every project starts with diamond grinding and moisture testing of the slab.
Estimates are free and itemized: you see the prep, each layer of the system, and the top coat in writing, and every install is backed by a written warranty.

Mako's breadth is genuinely useful: if your project mixes a new driveway pour with a patio pressure-wash and a garage coating, one vendor can carry it all. That's a real convenience, and plenty of jobs fit it.
Miami Prime's bet is the opposite one: resin flooring is the entire company. That focus shows up in the decorative range (custom metallics, quartz, designer flake blends), in the industrial menu (urethane cement for kitchens, warehouse systems rated for forklifts), and in process details like moisture-testing every slab before a drop of resin goes down. When the floor itself is the project — not one line item among several — depth tends to beat breadth.
Mako's headline garage product is poly flake coating — a proven, popular system. Ours is also flake for most garages, but specified as a stack: diamond-ground slab, moisture check, 100%-solids epoxy base, full flake broadcast, UV-stable polyaspartic top coat.
When you compare quotes, have both companies write down the same things: base-coat chemistry and solids percentage, broadcast density, top-coat type, and what the prep includes. Two 'flake floors' can be very different products — the writing is how you see it.
Since both companies cover the same tri-county area, geography won't decide this one. Fit will. A homeowner wanting a durable, standard garage floor plus other concrete work has two credible options here. A client wanting a statement metallic interior, a moisture-proofed waterfront slab, or a commercial kitchen floor with integral cove base is squarely in specialist territory.
Fit, Not Rankings
You want metallic, quartz or a designer finish beyond standard flake
Your slab is on-grade near the water and needs testing and a vapor barrier, not just a coating
The project is commercial or industrial — kitchens, warehouses, showrooms, hangars
You want the estimate itemized layer by layer to compare system quality directly
The floor is the centerpiece of the project, not one item on a longer list
And honestly — if your project is a better match for another company's model, we'll tell you at the estimate. A floor that fits is better than a job that doesn't.
Where This Comparison Matters
Mako and Miami Prime serve the same core markets — Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Pompano Beach, Hollywood, Coral Gables and Miami. Getting both quotes is easy; just make sure both itemize the system so you're comparing like with like.
Common Questions
