Process & Technical Questions

What preparation is required before refinishing?

We handle all preparation, including cleaning, repairing any damage, and etching the surface for proper adhesion. For commercial projects, we coordinate with facility management to ensure minimal disruption. We ensure proper ventilation and protection of surrounding areas. You just need to ensure the bathroom is clear of personal items.

How do you handle Florida's humidity during the refinishing process?

We use specialized humidity-resistant products and techniques developed specifically for Florida's climate. Our process includes dehumidification equipment when necessary, and we carefully monitor environmental conditions throughout the curing process. For commercial projects, we coordinate with building HVAC systems to maintain optimal conditions.

What colors and finishes are available?

We offer a wide range of colors and finishes, from classic white to custom colors. For commercial projects, we can match existing fixtures across multiple units or create standardized finishes. Our finishes include glossy, semi-gloss, and matte options, all specially formulated for durability in high-traffic environments.

Can you repair significant damage before refinishing?

Yes, we specialize in repairing large cracks, holes, chips, and water damage in both residential and commercial settings. Our expertise in fiberglass repair allows us to fix structural issues in shower units, restore damaged areas, and create a surface that's ready for refinishing. We're particularly experienced with commercial fiberglass shower crack repair and structural reinforcement.

What type of ventilation is required during the process?

We bring professional-grade ventilation equipment to ensure proper air circulation and safety. For commercial projects, we coordinate with facility management to optimize building ventilation systems. We set up exhaust fans, air scrubbers, and containment systems to protect occupants. The area should be vacated during the process, and we'll notify when it's safe to return.

Care & Maintenance

How do I clean refinished surfaces?

Use non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths or sponges. For commercial properties, we provide specific cleaning protocols suitable for maintenance staff. Avoid harsh scrubbers, bleach-based cleaners, or abrasive products. We recommend gentle, pH-neutral cleaners and provide detailed cleaning guidelines for both residential and commercial applications.

How can I prevent mold and mildew in Florida's humid climate?

Proper ventilation is crucial, especially in commercial settings. Use bathroom fans during and after showers, implement regular cleaning schedules, and maintain consistent air conditioning. For commercial properties, we recommend professional-grade dehumidification systems and scheduled maintenance protocols to prevent mold issues in high-traffic bathrooms.

What products should I avoid using on refinished surfaces?

Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, bleach, vinegar-based products, and magic erasers. For commercial properties, we provide a comprehensive list of approved cleaning products suitable for maintenance staff. Don't use suction cup mats or adhesive products, and avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

How should commercial properties maintain refinished surfaces?

Commercial properties require specialized maintenance schedules based on usage levels. We provide training for maintenance staff, recommend appropriate cleaning products, and offer preventive maintenance programs. Regular inspections of high-traffic areas help identify potential issues before they become serious problems.

What should I do if I notice any issues with the refinished surface?

Contact us immediately if you notice any changes in the finish, such as peeling, discoloration, or damage. For commercial clients, we offer priority response services. Don't attempt DIY repairs as this could void your warranty. We'll inspect the issue and determine the best course of action under our warranty coverage.

How often should refinished surfaces be professionally inspected?

We recommend annual inspections for residential surfaces and quarterly inspections for commercial applications. Regular inspections help catch potential issues early and ensure warranty compliance. We offer customized maintenance programs for both residential and commercial clients, with special attention to high-traffic areas.

Are there special considerations for maintaining surfaces in Florida's climate?

Florida's high humidity requires extra attention to ventilation and moisture control. For commercial properties, we recommend integrated humidity control systems. Regular cleaning and proper ventilation are essential, especially in commercial bathrooms with high usage. We provide specific guidelines for maintaining surfaces in Florida's unique climate conditions.
