Commercial · Fort Myers, FL
Commercial kitchen epoxy flooring has to handle hot water, grease, chemicals, and constant traffic without turning slick or delaminating. Elite Epoxy Fort Myers installs and repairs food-safe, slip-resistant epoxy and urethane systems built for busy kitchens in Fort Myers.
Performance starts with prep and the right base. We mechanically profile concrete with diamond grinding or shot blasting to hit the proper CSP (typically CSP 2-4 for most kitchen systems), then repair spalls and cracks with epoxy mortar or polyurea crack filler so movement does not telegraph. Moisture is checked with in-slab RH testing and addressed with a moisture-mitigating epoxy primer when needed. Around drains, walk-in cooler thresholds, and equipment pads, we rebuild transitions and feather edges so cleaning crews do not catch lips with squeegees or scrubbers.
Southwest Florida heat and humidity change cure times and can amplify condensation and moisture vapor, so we choose resins and schedules that match real jobsite conditions. For kitchens, we often recommend urethane cement (a polyurethane concrete topping) where there is thermal shock from hot washdowns and steam, and epoxy with a urethane or polyaspartic topcoat where chemical and abrasion resistance matter most. Slip resistance is tuned with aluminum oxide or quartz broadcast to meet wet-traffic needs without creating an uncleanable sandpaper surface. We also build practical details like coved epoxy base (4-6 inches), seamless tie-ins at floor sinks, and integral color flakes or solid colors that hide scuffs while keeping the floor easy to inspect.
Fort Myers operators choose us because we treat kitchens like mission-critical spaces, not generic warehouses. We are licensed and insured, provide a written scope, and plan installs around deliveries and health inspections to reduce downtime. Crews use commercial mixers, calibrated squeegees, notched gauges, and spike rollers to control film build, avoid pinholes, and keep broadcast density consistent. When we repair failed floors, we identify the cause first (poor profile, moisture pressure, incompatible coatings, or grease contamination) and fix the substrate so the new system bonds and stays bonded.
Before turnover, we do a detailed walkthrough with your manager and maintenance lead to confirm drains are flowing, coves are sealed, and transitions are safe for carts. You receive a clear maintenance plan (approved degreasers, auto-scrubber pads, and recoat intervals), cure-time guidance for foot traffic and equipment, and documentation of the installed system. We can add striping for pathways, no-step zones, and safety markings using epoxy line paint with a protective clear coat. The end result is a seamless, cleanable floor designed to support sanitation, slip resistance, and long service life in a working commercial kitchen.
Most garage floors are completed in 1-2 days depending on prep, repairs, and the coating system. Cure times vary, but many polyaspartic topcoats allow faster return to service than epoxy alone.
Sometimes, but we have to verify adhesion and compatibility first. We typically grind to remove weak layers and create a bondable surface, then prime and recoat with a compatible epoxy or polyaspartic system.
Yes, metallic epoxy is available for showpiece interiors, offices, and retail areas where a high-gloss decorative look is the priority. We finish with a clear protective topcoat and can add traction where needed.
Moisture vapor can cause bubbling, whitening, or delamination. We evaluate the slab and, when needed, install a moisture-mitigating epoxy primer designed to handle elevated vapor transmission before building the coating system.
Some products have noticeable odor, especially certain solvents and fast-cure resins. We select products based on the space and ventilation, and we communicate what to expect before the job starts.
Commercial kitchen epoxy flooring needs to be seamless, cleanable, and tough enough for grease, fryer splash, rolling loads, and daily washdowns. Elite Epoxy Fort Myers installs new resinous kitchen floors and repairs peeling, bubbled, and worn coatings by starting with the concrete, not just a quick recoat. We build systems that match your usage, whether you need higher slip resistance at dish, better chemical resistance near mop sinks, or thermal-shock durability in cook lines and around walk-ins.
Kitchen floors fail for predictable reasons: grease contamination, poor concrete profile, moisture vapor pressure, and coatings that are not designed for heat and harsh cleaners. Our installation process addresses each risk point with degreasing and rinsing protocols, mechanical profiling to a verified CSP, crack and joint treatment, and a primer coat chosen for adhesion and moisture conditions. From there, we install the specified topping and topcoat at controlled mil thickness, then verify coverage at edges, thresholds, and penetrations where delamination typically starts.
Need repair, not replacement? We can remove loose coating, rebuild damaged areas with epoxy mortar, and blend in new build coats so the floor is uniform and safe for service. If your operation requires higher traction, we can add a broadcast media and new clear coat rather than tearing everything out. For managers focused on compliance and cleanliness, we also install cove base, patch around floor sinks, and finish with a closed, non-porous surface that supports routine sanitizing.
If you are planning a new build or trying to stop peeling and slick spots, request a site visit. We will review traffic patterns, drain layout, cleaner chemistry, and downtime windows, then provide a written estimate and a system recommendation that fits your kitchen and schedule.
Call now or send a request and we will reach out within one business day to schedule your free, no-obligation estimate in Fort Myers. We assess the project, review the details, and give you a written quote before any work starts, so you know exactly what to expect.
