Crafting Durable, Stunning Floors

A great epoxy floor isn’t about “slapping on a coating.” It’s about proper prep, the right system for your concrete, and pro-level installation. That’s how you get a floor that looks incredible and holds up in real life — especially in Florida heat and humidity.

Below is exactly how we do it...

1) Free Consultation + Project Planning

We start with a quick call or site visit to understand your space and goals:

• Location (garage, patio, pool deck, commercial, etc.)

• Current condition (paint, old epoxy, moisture issues, cracks)

• Finish choice (full flake, light/terrazzo flake, solid, metallic)

• Slip resistance needs (barefoot areas vs. shoes/work use)

You’ll get clear recommendations, not a one-size-fits-all pitch.

2) Concrete Evaluation + Moisture Check

Concrete can hold hidden moisture, and moisture is the #1 reason coatings fail.

We inspect for:

• Moisture vapor transmission (MVT) risk

• Efflorescence / hydrostatic pressure signs

• Cracks, spalls, and weak areas

• Previous coatings and contamination (oil, silicone, curing compounds)

If the slab needs a moisture barrier, we design the system accordingly.

3) Surface Prep (The Make-or-Break Step)

This is where most “cheap epoxy” jobs cut corners — and where we don’t.

We mechanically prep the slab by:

• Diamond grinding to open the pores of the concrete

• Removing old coatings (if present)

• Fixing soft spots and damaged areas

• Creating the correct concrete profile for bonding

Prep is everything. If prep isn’t right, nothing else matters.

4) Crack, Joint & Detail Work

We repair imperfections so the finish looks clean and professional:

• Crack repair and smoothing

• Edge and stem wall detailing (if applicable)

• Optional joint strategy (depending on movement and customer goals)

We’ll always explain what can be made seamless and what should remain functional for the slab.

5) Primer + Base Coat (Built for Your Conditions)

Next we apply the correct primer/base system for:

• Your slab condition

• Your environment (heat/humidity/UV exposure)

• Your finish type

If needed, we install a moisture vapor barrier (MVB) to protect the coating system from below.

6) Flake Broadcast (Light, Full, or Terrazzo-Style)

For flake floors, we broadcast decorative flake into the wet base coat:

• Full broadcast for maximum durability and uniform coverage

• Light broadcast for a clean, terrazzo-inspired look

• Custom blends available

We don’t “sprinkle and pray.” Coverage and consistency are intentional.

7) Scrape, Vacuum, and Grout Coat

After the broadcast cures, we:

• Scrape down the floor to remove sharp edges and level the texture

• Vacuum thoroughly (dust ruins topcoats)

• Apply a grout coat to lock the flake and create a smooth, sealed surface

This step is what gives that finished, professional feel.

8) Topcoat System (UV + Wear Protection)

We finish with a high-performance topcoat designed for durability and the environment:

• UV stability (especially important outdoors)

• Chemical and abrasion resistance

• Optional traction additive for slip resistance

• Gloss level based on your preference (from sleek to more muted)

This is your “wear layer” — the protection that keeps your floor looking new.

9) Cure Time + Return to Service

Cure time depends on weather conditions and the system selected.

We’ll tell you exactly when you can:

• Walk on it

• Move items back

• Park vehicles

• Wash/maintain

We give real guidance — not guesswork.

10) Final Walkthrough + Care Instructions

Before we leave, we:

• Walk the project with you

• Confirm finish consistency and detail work

• Provide care and cleaning instructions

• Share long-term maintenance tips so your floor stays looking sharp
