Commercial · Gainesville, FL
Busy kitchens need floors that handle grease, heat, caustic cleaners, and constant washdowns without breaking down at the seams. Elite Epoxy Gainesville has served Gainesville since 2018, installing and repairing commercial kitchen epoxy flooring built for food-safe sanitation and fast return to service.
Prep makes or breaks a kitchen floor, so we start with mechanical surface prep, not acid etching. We diamond-grind and shot blast to reach clean, sound concrete (targeting a CSP 3-5 profile), then measure moisture vapor emission and locate soft spots, cracks, and hollow areas. After degreasing and rinsing, we patch with epoxy mortar, rebuild spalls, and honor existing joints so movement does not telegraph into the coating. On new slabs, we verify cure time, remove laitance, and prime to lock down dust and improve bond strength.
In North Florida, kitchens see humidity swings, frequent thermal shock from hot water, and constant wet exposure around dish and mop sinks. We match the system to the conditions, including moisture-tolerant epoxy primers, urethane-cement (urethane mortar) where heat and impact are severe, and epoxy mortar cove base to eliminate grout lines at the wall. For slip resistance, we broadcast aluminum oxide or silica into the wear layer and tune the texture for your workflow (dry prep areas vs. wet wash areas). Finish options include high-build epoxy with a chemical-resistant urethane topcoat, seamless cove-to-floor transitions, and clean terminations at drains, thresholds, and equipment pads.
Gainesville customers choose us because we plan around service hours and get the details right that inspectors and managers notice. You get clear specs up front, written scope, and a system that addresses grease migration, joint movement, and drain transitions, not just a pretty top layer. We are licensed and insured, and we bring commercial-grade vacuums with HEPA filtration, proper containment, and low-odor product options to reduce disruption. When a floor is failing, we diagnose the cause, including moisture, contamination, or improper prep, then repair the substrate before recoating so the fix lasts.
Before we leave, we walk the floor with you and verify thickness, texture, and edge details, including coves, curbs, and doorways. You receive care and cleaning guidance (approved degreasers, dilution ratios, and what to avoid), cure timelines for foot traffic and equipment, and recommendations for routine maintenance to protect slip resistance. If we repaired cracks, joint edges, or delamination, we document what was done and how to monitor those areas. The result is a seamless, sanitary commercial kitchen epoxy flooring system designed for fast cleanups, safer footing, and longer service life.
Yes. Elite Epoxy Gainesville is licensed and insured, and we provide a written estimate that defines prep steps, materials, and the coating system.
Most projects are concrete slabs, including garages, patios, pool decks, warehouses, retail floors, and service bays. We evaluate the substrate to confirm it is suitable for coatings.
Yes. We can add traction with broadcast media or anti-slip additives in the topcoat, then balance grip with cleanability based on where the floor is used.
Standard epoxy can amber with UV exposure. For sunlit areas we recommend UV-stable clear coats like polyaspartic or aliphatic urethane to reduce discoloration.
Pricing depends on square footage, concrete condition, moisture and contamination, the amount of crack and joint repair, and the system selected (solid color, full flake, quartz, metallic, and topcoat type).
Commercial kitchen epoxy flooring is built for environments where grease, hot water, food acids, and aggressive degreasers hit the floor every day. Elite Epoxy Gainesville installs and repairs seamless resin floors for restaurants, commissaries, schools, breweries, and food production spaces, with details that support sanitation and safe movement during rush hours. If your existing coating is peeling, your tile grout stays dirty, or your concrete is pitting around sinks and dish areas, we can rebuild the surface with the right prep and the right resin system.
Our process starts with evaluation and surface preparation. We test for moisture vapor, map grease contamination, and check for slab weakness, cracks, and failed coatings. Then we mechanically prep to a concrete surface profile suited to the system, repair spalls and cracks with epoxy mortar, and prime for maximum adhesion. Where heat, steam, and impact are heavy, we often recommend urethane-cement because it tolerates thermal shock better than standard epoxies.
For finishing, we focus on sanitation and safety details: epoxy mortar cove base at walls and equipment curbs, properly sealed terminations, and clean transitions at floor drains. We can add broadcast media like aluminum oxide for slip resistance and topcoat with a chemical-resistant polyurethane where needed. The goal is a floor that stands up to daily washdowns without trapping soil in grout lines or peeling under standing water.
If you need commercial kitchen epoxy flooring repair, we address the root cause before recoating, including moisture issues, poor prep from the previous install, or ongoing contamination. Once the surface is stable, we can patch, rebuild texture, and blend new layers into the existing footprint with minimal downtime.
