What goes into an epoxy coating for a shop or warehouse floor?
Commercial and industrial epoxy floor coatings in Olympia Heights start with taking a shop, warehouse or showroom slab down to clean concrete and checking it for moisture. Then we lay a resin coating over it that seals the surface against spills and wear. Most jobs also mean stripping an old coating and grinding the slab, and that's where most of the work is.
Most business calls I get start with a floor that was coated once and is coming apart in the aisles, and the fix is almost always more prep than coating. The price moves mostly with the size of the floor and how much work the slab needs, starting with how much old coating has to come off. The schedule turns on the moisture check and on a permit if the job needs one, which we apply for ourselves once we know whether the county or your city covers your property. I'll give you your own number in a written estimate after I've seen the floor.
How do you know your shop floor needs a new epoxy coating?
Coating peeling in the lanes
When carts and forklifts start lifting flakes off the main paths, the old coat usually never bonded well because the prep was rushed. Every week it keeps peeling, there's more loose coating to grind off and more bare concrete taking a beating.
Bubbles or damp spots
Blisters, soft spots or a white haze under the coating usually point to moisture coming up through the slab. Recoating over it fails the same way, so the moisture has to be found and dealt with first.
Spills soaking into concrete
Bare or worn concrete drinks up oil, chemicals and cleaners, and it dusts under traffic. The deeper a stain goes, the more grinding it takes to get back to clean concrete a coating can hold onto.
Other floors we coat
Garage Floor Coatings
Once the shop floor's done, a lot of owners want the garage at home coated too, and it gets the same grinding and moisture check first.
Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
If epoxy isn't the best match for how your space gets used, this is another coating we can put down on a properly prepared slab.
How we put down a commercial epoxy floor coating
The old coating comes off first and the slab gets ground or shotblasted, because one coating maker's guide says concrete has to be mechanically prepared to remove existing coatings and curing compounds, and it names those two methods as best suited. Then we repair cracks and broken joints and check the slab for moisture, and only after that do we set a coating date. Our installers lay the coating on a clean, dry floor. If your business stays open, we work one section at a time and close off the area we're in so your staff and customers stay clear of it.
Plenty of the owners who call about a shop floor also have a garage at home, and we do garage floor coatings with the same prep. If epoxy isn't the right fit for your space, I'll say so, and we can talk through polyaspartic floor coatings when I'm there.
In sections while you stay open
This suits shops, showrooms and offices that can't close, because we close off one area, finish it and move on while the rest of the floor stays in use. It takes more setups, but your doors stay open.
The whole floor at once
This suits a warehouse or shop that can clear the floor for the job, because we prep and coat it in one pass with no moving stock back and forth between sections. If you can plan a shutdown, it's the simpler way to do it.

Built on prep since 2017
I spent my first years in flooring on the sales side and kept watching coated floors fail because somebody rushed the prep, so in 2017 I started this business to do it the other way. That's why the slab gets more of our time than the coating does.
Licensed, insured, permits in our name
We're fully licensed and insured. In Miami-Dade, permits are issued in the name of whoever does the work, and only licensed contractors or owner-builders can get one, so if your job needs a permit we pull it and handle the inspections.
I see your slab myself
I come out to look at the floor and write the estimate myself, and our installers do the prep and the coating. If your slab isn't ready or a cheaper option fits you better, you'll hear that from me before you spend anything.
On a commercial floor, the coating only holds as well as the slab under it was prepared. Request your estimate or call (786) 408-1023.
What happens after you call about a commercial epoxy floor?
Call or send the form
You call (786) 408-1023 or send the form, and we get back to you to set a time for me to come out. Let us know if the business has to stay open during the work, since that shapes the whole plan.
I look at the slab
I come out, look at the slab and ask how you use the space, from forklift traffic to what gets spilled on it. You get a written estimate before anything is scheduled, so you know the price before you decide.
We prep, check and coat
Once you say yes, we set the date, and any permit is sorted out with the right office before we schedule. Our installers take off the old coating, prep the slab and coat it once the moisture check is done.
Walk the finished floor
I walk the finished floor with you before we pack up. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job, and that walk is where we look at it together.
Common questions
How do I find out which office issues the permit for a floor job in Olympia Heights?
Your property's folio number tells you, because if it starts with 30 the property falls under Miami-Dade County's permit process, and if it doesn't, your city's Building Official issues permits inside its limits. The Property Appraiser shows which city a property is in. The county's permit list names new structures, additions and interior renovations rather than floor coatings, and its no-permit list for floor resurfacing covers only single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses, so a commercial building should be checked before work starts.
Why does a concrete slab need a moisture test before an epoxy coating?
The coating seals the surface, so moisture rising through the slab gets trapped under it, and that's a common reason coatings let go. One coating maker's spec says the slab has to be shown free of groundwater effects before its flooring goes down. Another maker requires the concrete to look dry and pass a 24-hour plastic mat test with no condensation under the mat.
Who is responsible for getting the concrete ready for an epoxy floor?
One coating maker's guide puts an acceptable concrete surface on the owner, the owner's representative or the concrete contractor, unless it's specifically stated otherwise. On our jobs the stripping and grinding are ours, and if the slab needs more than we can fix, I'll tell you at the estimate rather than coat over it.
How do you control concrete dust in a business that stays open?
We control it at the source and keep people out of the work area, because grinding concrete raises dust that carries crystalline silica, and federal health guidance says to control that dust and prevent exposure. OSHA also requires covered construction employers to keep a written plan that restricts access to areas where high exposures may occur, so your staff and customers stay out of our section while that work goes on.
How much does commercial epoxy flooring cost in Olympia Heights?
It comes down to your slab, so I give you a number in writing after I've seen it, not over the phone. The floor's size sets the starting point, but prep usually decides the rest, since a slab with a failing coat, oil soaked into it or damp spots takes far more work than one that's bare and dry. Working in sections around your hours can add to it too.
What causes epoxy to peel off a commercial concrete floor?
Usually it's the prep. A coating laid over old coating, curing compound or concrete that was never ground or shotblasted has nothing solid to grip, and moisture coming up through the slab can lift a coating that went down fine. Coating over a peeling floor just repeats the problem.
