Frequently asked questions

Yes. Shared garages, balconies and walkways usually require board approval and a certificate of insurance naming the association as an additional certificate holder. We provide both.

Work can also be phased so residents keep access throughout, rather than closing the whole structure at once.

November through April. Ambient humidity drops out of the range that disrupts the cure, afternoon storms and lightning holds largely disappear, and wet-season dehumidification equipment is not needed on site.

We install year-round — most facilities cannot schedule around the weather — but the dry season gives the tightest, most predictable timeline.

Summer pavement temperatures leave tires hot enough to soften a weakly bonded coating. As the car cools, the tire grips and pulls the coating off the slab, usually in a patch the shape of the tire.

It is almost always a preparation failure rather than a product failure, which is why we grind to a CSP-3 profile with planetary diamonds and never acid etch.

UV exposure. A garage with the door open takes hours of direct sun every day here, and standard epoxy is not UV-stable — it ambers and chalks within a couple of seasons.

The fix is in the topcoat: a UV-stable polyaspartic or aliphatic urethane finish holds colour. This matters more on light greys and whites, where the shift is obvious.

Yes. Coastal properties see airborne chloride year-round, and it settles and concentrates wherever a coating terminates.

Near the water we specify UV-stable, chemically resistant topcoats and pay closer attention to sealing edges and transitions. A system that performs perfectly a few miles inland can chalk and amber within two seasons on a barrier island.

Almost always one of two things. Either the slab was never tested for moisture and vapor lifted the coating from below, or the preparation was acid etching rather than mechanical grinding, so the coating never had a proper mechanical bond.

Both are preparation failures, not product failures — which is why replacing the coating without addressing the cause produces the same result again.

Ground moisture migrates upward through concrete continuously. Most South Florida homes are slab-on-grade, and older construction often has no vapor barrier beneath the slab — so vapor pushes against whatever is bonded to the surface.

It is measurable, not guesswork: ASTM F1869 calcium chloride testing or ASTM F2170 in-slab relative humidity probes. Above the coating manufacturer's limit, the slab needs a moisture mitigation membrane before any decorative layer goes down.

Four reasons, all local: moisture rising through slab-on-grade concrete near the water table, wet-season humidity that disrupts the cure, salt air and UV attacking the topcoat, and summer hot-tire pickup. None of them exist in the same combination inland, which is why a system specified for a northern garage underperforms here.

Residential installations carry a written warranty. We are licensed and insured, and warranty terms are provided in writing before work begins.

Yes. Warehouses, showrooms, kitchens, parking structures and industrial facilities across the region, including night and weekend schedules to avoid operational downtime.

Residential floor coating generally does not require a building permit in South Florida. Condo buildings and HOA communities frequently have their own approval process, particularly for shared garages and balconies.

The old coating is normally ground off first. Coat over a failing bond and the failure repeats.
