Commercial & Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings in Pinecrest FL - a floor built for work

There's no fair price until someone has seen your slab, because the cost moves with the floor's size, its condition and how much prep it needs. One national cost guide says every reputable installer tests the slab for moisture, and a high reading adds a moisture vapor barrier primer at extra cost per square foot. The same guide calls skipping that test the single biggest cause of commercial floor failure, so ask each bidder, us included, how they test.

A traditional epoxy system can take 3 to 7 days before it's ready for full traffic, while a polyaspartic top coat can have the floor back in service in 24 hours. The faster top coat costs more per gallon, but when every day closed costs you money, it's usually worth it. One national cost guide also says night and weekend work adds to the price, which you can weigh against what a closed day costs you.

Urethane cement is the usual choice for kitchens and food processing, because standard epoxy doesn't handle hot water and thermal shock well. One national cost guide adds that kitchens, wash bays and ramps need aluminum oxide or quartz broadcast into the top coat for grip, which adds to the cost per square foot. If you run a restaurant, plan on urethane cement flooring for the hot, wet areas even if the dining room or storage gets epoxy.

One national cost guide says a bid well below typical ranges usually means no moisture test, an acid etch instead of grinding, a thin-coat system called commercial epoxy, or a crew without insurance for your building. We're licensed and fully insured, and our estimate spells out the prep and the finish so you can line it up against the other bids point by point.

A properly specified and installed system lasts 10 to 20 years, though heavy-traffic areas may need a fresh top coat every 5 to 7 years. That means you can budget to recoat the busiest lanes on that cycle instead of redoing the whole floor. Every floor we put down is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.

We find out before we start by checking with the office that covers your address, which in Pinecrest is the Village of Pinecrest building department. When a permit is needed, the village wants the application signed and notarized by the owner or the owner's representative and by a registered contractor, so we handle our side of the paperwork and walk you through the part you sign. Contractors working in Miami-Dade County are licensed through the county's Contractor Licensing Section, so it's fair to ask any bidder for that license.
