Flake epoxy flooring is a tough, slip-resistant upgrade for garages, shops, and commercial spaces when it is installed on properly prepared concrete. Elite Epoxy Fort Myers has served Fort Myers since 2016, installing and repairing full broadcast flake systems for floors that need better traction, easier cleaning, and a clean, uniform look.
Prep makes or breaks flake epoxy flooring, so we start with the concrete. We mechanically diamond-grind with HEPA dust control to remove laitance, old coatings, and curing compounds, then repair cracks, spalls, and control joints with epoxy crack filler or polyurea joint material depending on movement. Moisture is checked before coating, and we prime as needed so the base coat wets into the slab instead of sitting on top. After masking, we install a pigmented 100% solids epoxy base coat at the correct mil thickness for an even flake broadcast and long-term adhesion.
Southwest Florida heat, humidity, and wet parking pads change how a floor needs to finish. For most garages and commercial back-of-house areas, we use a full broadcast of vinyl color flakes, then scrape and vacuum to remove loose flake and create a flat profile for the topcoat. You can choose a satin or gloss finish, plus an added anti-slip aggregate for pool decks, breezeways, and entry paths where bare feet and rain are common. Topcoats are selected for the use case, including UV-stable polyaspartic or polyurethane for better color retention and chemical resistance, and we tune cure times so you get a durable film build without roller marks or soft spots.
Fort Myers customers choose us because the process is controlled and repeatable, not a quick roll-on job. We focus on concrete prep, measured mix ratios, clean edges, and consistent flake coverage so the floor looks uniform from bay to bay. Crews use commercial mixers, gauge rakes, spiked shoes, and calibrated squeegees, and we keep job sites organized so dust and debris stay out of the coating. You get straightforward options for flake size, color blend, edge detail, and slip resistance, plus a clear plan for curing and return-to-service.
At the end of the install or repair, we walk the floor with you and confirm texture, sheen, termination points, and transitions at doorways and thresholds. We explain what is normal during cure, when to move cars or equipment back in, and which cleaners will protect the topcoat (pH-neutral soap, no citrus solvents). If you are calling for repairs, we identify the failure mode first, such as hot-tire pickup, moisture vapor pressure, or poor prior prep, then isolate, grind back, and recoat to tie into the existing floor cleanly. You receive a written estimate, documented scope, and care guidance so your flake epoxy flooring stays easy to maintain for years.

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.
