Planning Guides
Planning in Central Florida
24 planning guides by city, system, and property type.
Planning a metallic garage floor in Windermere
Lakefront and low-lying properties in Windermere often have elevated moisture vapor. A moisture vapor emission test is essential before any coating. Assess slab age, previous coatings, and any visible cracking. Metallic systems require a properly prepared, dry slab.
Planning a polyaspartic floor for new construction in Lake Nona
New construction slabs in Lake Nona often have construction dust contamination and minor surface defects from the builder. Moisture vapor testing is still required — slab age alone does not determine moisture status. Assess surface condition and any builder residue.
Planning a commercial warehouse floor coating in Orlando
Active warehouses with forklift traffic require assessment of oil contamination, spalling, and crack severity. Operational downtime constraints affect scheduling and phasing. Shot blast preparation is typically needed for oil-contaminated slabs.
Planning a moisture barrier for an older slab in Winter Park
Older slabs in Winter Park — particularly those from the 1960s–1980s — were often poured without vapor barriers. If a previous coating has failed (bubbled or peeled), moisture vapor is a likely cause. A moisture vapor emission test is essential before recommending any system.
Planning a commercial floor for an auto detailing shop in Dr. Phillips
Auto detailing shops have oil, solvent, and chemical contamination that requires shot blast preparation. Wet conditions from washing create slip hazards. Assess contamination level, surface condition, and operational schedule constraints.
Planning a commercial floor for a storage facility in Kissimmee
Large storage facilities require phased installation planning to keep the facility operational. Assess the number of units, access constraints, and scheduling flexibility. Bare concrete creates dust and a poor customer experience.
Planning a polyaspartic floor for a 2-car garage in Oviedo
Slabs can develop hairline cracks over time from soil movement and settling. If a previous DIY coating has failed, the failed coating must be completely removed by diamond grinding before any new system can be applied. Assess crack severity and previous coating condition.
Planning a large commercial warehouse floor in Sanford
Large distribution warehouses with heavy forklift traffic require shot blast preparation for oil contamination and proper joint repair. Assess spalling, joint condition, and operational downtime constraints. Large-scale projects require detailed scheduling coordination.
Planning a luxury metallic garage floor in Winter Garden
New construction slabs in Horizon West are typically in good condition but still require diamond grinding for adhesion and moisture vapor testing. Assess surface condition and discuss design direction — metallic systems are fully custom.
Planning a moisture barrier rescue in Altamonte Springs
If a previous coating has failed — especially if it has happened more than once — moisture vapor is likely the cause. Lakefront and low-lying properties can have elevated moisture vapor; a moisture vapor emission test is essential. Assess the number of failed coating layers that need to be removed.
Planning an HOA-compliant garage floor in Celebration
Celebration HOA requires pre-approval for garage floor coatings. Assess HOA requirements for material specifications, color restrictions, and approval process before scheduling. Discuss HOA requirements at the consultation.
Planning a commercial floor for a corporate office in Maitland
Corporate office lobbies and back-of-house areas require weekend-only installation to avoid disrupting operations. Assess existing flooring condition (VCT tile removal adds scope), traffic patterns, and aesthetic requirements for lobby vs. back-of-house areas.
Planning a polyaspartic floor for a new 3-car garage in Apopka
New construction 3-car garages in Apopka often have form release agent residue and minor surface defects from the builder. Moisture vapor testing is still required. Assess surface condition and discuss timing relative to move-in date.
Planning a polyaspartic floor for a smaller garage in Clermont
Smaller garages in active adult communities may have golf cart traffic. Assess surface condition, intended use, and whether anti-slip aggregate is appropriate for the entry area.
Planning a DIY kit rescue in Longwood
If a DIY epoxy kit has failed (peeling, bubbling), the failed coating must be completely removed by diamond grinding before any new system can be applied. Assess the extent of the failed coating and whether moisture vapor contributed to the failure.
Planning a first-time coating for an older slab in Casselberry
Older slabs that have never been coated often have oil stains, surface contamination, and hairline cracks from decades of use. Moisture vapor testing is essential for older slabs. Assess surface condition and contamination level.
Planning a commercial floor for a restaurant kitchen in Orlando
Restaurant kitchens have grease contamination, strict health code requirements, and limited closure windows. Assess contamination level, health code requirements for your jurisdiction, and operational schedule constraints.
Planning a commercial floor for a medical facility in Lake Nona
Medical facilities require seamless, non-porous flooring for infection control. Assess existing flooring condition (tile removal adds scope), infection control requirements, and weekend-only installation constraints.
Planning a polyaspartic floor for a lakefront garage in Windermere
Lakefront properties in Windermere often have elevated moisture vapor due to proximity to water. Moisture vapor testing is essential. Assess slab age, previous coatings, and any visible cracking or previous coating failure.
Planning a luxury metallic garage floor in Winter Park
Luxury homes in Winter Park often have older slabs that require moisture vapor testing. Assess slab condition, previous coatings, and design direction for the metallic system.
Planning a commercial floor for an auto shop in Oviedo
Auto shops have oil and chemical contamination that requires shot blast preparation. Assess contamination level, lift locations, and operational schedule constraints.
Planning a polyaspartic floor for a residential garage in Sanford
Sanford has a mix of older and newer slabs. Older slabs near Lake Monroe and the St. Johns River may have elevated moisture vapor. Moisture vapor testing is essential. Assess slab age, surface condition, and any previous coating history.
Planning a polyaspartic floor for a residential garage in Kissimmee
Kissimmee has a mix of older and newer residential slabs. Moisture vapor testing is essential, particularly for older slabs and properties near water. Assess surface condition and any previous coating history.
Planning a commercial floor for a retail space in Altamonte Springs
Retail spaces require a professional appearance with minimal downtime. Assess existing flooring condition, foot traffic patterns, and operational schedule constraints.
