Commercial · Scottsdale, AZ
Elite Epoxy Scottsdale installs and repairs commercial kitchen epoxy flooring built for grease, heat, and daily washdowns. Since 2016, we have helped restaurants, commissaries, and food facilities stay safer, cleaner, and open with fast, code-conscious flooring in Scottsdale.
Prep makes or breaks commercial kitchen epoxy flooring, so we start with the slab. Our crew diamond-grinds to a clean CSP profile, degreases, and removes old coatings, mastic, and soft concrete, then verifies moisture vapor emission before we build the system. Cracks, spalls, and control joints are routed and repaired with epoxy mortar or polymer-modified patch, then we detail coves, floor sinks, and trench drain edges so water and food soils cannot sit at transitions. When required, we apply a moisture-mitigating epoxy primer and broadcast sand for mechanical bond under the build coat.
In a working kitchen, thermal shock, hot-water rinses, and aggressive cleaning chemicals drive the finish selection. We commonly install troweled urethane cement (typically 1/8-1/4 inch) for high-heat lines and dish areas, then topcoat with a chemical-resistant urethane or epoxy for stain and abrasion protection. For dry prep and storage zones, we can use high-build 100% solids epoxy with an anti-slip quartz or aluminum oxide broadcast and a seamless, easy-mop topcoat. We tune slip resistance to the use area, add high-visibility striping for walkways, and provide a smooth tie-in at door thresholds and stainless equipment legs.
Scottsdale operators choose us because we manage kitchens like production spaces, not hobby projects. We plan around service hours, coordinate access with GCs and health inspections, and keep odors and dust controlled with grinder shrouds and HEPA vacuums. Licensed and insured, we document surface prep, batch mixing, and cure times, and we use commercial-grade materials from proven manufacturers instead of thin DIY epoxies. If your floor is failing, we focus on the root cause, moisture, grease contamination, poor prep, or movement at joints, so the repair lasts.
Before we leave, we do a closing walkthrough to confirm slope to drains, cove integrity, and consistent texture where staff stands and turns. You get written scope, system thickness targets, cure and return-to-service guidance, and cleaning recommendations compatible with your sanitizer and degreaser schedule. We can include joint sealant, drain perimeter rebuilding, and line striping in the same mobilization to reduce downtime. If you need a phased install, we map out sections and transitions so you can keep critical areas operating while the new floor cures.
Most garage floors are completed with prep plus coating in one to two working days, then cure time before full use. Light foot traffic may be possible sooner, while vehicles typically return after the coating reaches a safe cure window based on the chosen system and temperatures.
Sometimes, but we do not guess. We test adhesion, identify the existing coating, and grind to a sound, well-bonded layer or to bare concrete. If the old coating is failing, coating over it will usually fail with it.
Smooth high-gloss floors can be slick with water or dust. We can add traction using aluminum oxide, polymer grit, or a textured broadcast and adjust the topcoat sheen to improve slip resistance while keeping the floor easy to clean.
Options include solid-color epoxy, full or partial vinyl flake blends, quartz blends, and metallic epoxy effects for interiors. Topcoats can be gloss, satin, or matte depending on the system, lighting, and desired look.
Yes, when scheduling allows. We can plan phases for back-of-house, service bays, or tenant improvements to reduce downtime, and we will outline cure times and return-to-service requirements in the written estimate.
Commercial kitchen epoxy flooring has to handle more than foot traffic. Between grease, dropped pans, wheeled carts, steam, and frequent washdowns, kitchen floors fail fast when the coating is thin, the slab is contaminated, or the system is wrong for thermal shock. Elite Epoxy Scottsdale installs and repairs seamless resin floors that prioritize sanitation, slip resistance, and durability while keeping your operation moving.
The right commercial kitchen epoxy flooring system starts with the substrate. We diamond-grind concrete to the proper profile, test for moisture, and address grease saturation and previous coating failures before installing primer, build coats, and topcoats. For demanding kitchens, we often recommend urethane cement (polyurethane concrete) at 1/8-1/4 inch because it tolerates hot-water dumps and temperature swings better than standard epoxy. In lower-heat areas, a high-build 100% solids epoxy with a broadcast aggregate can deliver excellent cleanability and traction.
Repairs are approached the same way as new installs: identify the failure mode, then rebuild the system. That can mean routing and filling cracks, rebuilding broken edges at trench drains, re-establishing slope to floor sinks, or replacing soft concrete before resurfacing. We also install cove base and seal transitions where moisture and bacteria typically collect, helping your team clean faster with less scrubbing.
If you are comparing commercial kitchen epoxy flooring contractors in Scottsdale, ask about prep methods, moisture mitigation, system thickness, and chemical resistance for your cleaning routine. We provide a written estimate, clear scheduling, and a documented plan for cure and return-to-service so you can reopen with confidence.
