Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings in Titusville FL - a floor that holds up

You're usually calling because the floor you have isn't holding up. Old paint is peeling in the traffic lanes, bare concrete is soaking up oil and dusting, or a kitchen floor won't come clean. The price moves with the size of the floor, how much grinding and repair the slab needs, whether an old coating needs stripping and removal first, and how many areas need a sun-resistant topcoat. The schedule turns on how much moisture is in the slab, the weather and whether the floor has to be done in sections. Your estimate comes with a written scope that spells out each of those pieces, so you can hold it up next to anyone else's.

We start by settling who handles any concrete repair and which parts of the floor catch sun through open doors, so the quote you compare covers prep, testing and the right topcoat for each area. Then our crew grinds or shotblasts the concrete to take off old coatings, sealers and grime, because epoxy only holds as well as the surface under it. Cracks and broken spots get filled once the floor is open and we can see what's really there. After that the crew lays down the epoxy coats and finishes with the topcoat picked for each area, and we clean up before we leave.

Some business owners also want a garage floor coating on a service bay at work or on their own garage at home, and we can look at both on the same visit. Where part of the floor sits in full sun by a roll-up door, a polyaspartic floor coating can serve as the top layer, because it usually keeps its color better in sunlight than a standard epoxy topcoat.

The City of Titusville Building Department handles plan reviews, permits and inspections inside the city. Whether your coating job needs a permit is something we check for your address. When a job needs one, we handle the paperwork and inspections with the city or county office that covers your building, and we go over where that stands at the estimate. The city also has new contractors register by sending a state license or a county certificate of competency, a business tax receipt, and proof of general liability and workers' comp coverage, so it's fair to ask any installer whether they've registered. Licenses differ at the county level too. A Brevard County certified license lets a trade contractor work only inside the county, while state certified contractors register with the county for permitting. If your building sits outside Brevard, ask which kind an installer holds.

The other local factor is the air. Florida's humidity slows epoxy curing and can leave defects in the surface, so in damp weather we plan for a slower cure and watch conditions before each coat goes down. We see the same muggy summers on jobs in Cocoa and North Merritt Island.
