I’ve been in the design build trade for 25 years and I’ve never seen artistry skill and on time delivery and professionalism in business of epoxy and concrete finishing floor systems like what Jeremy delivered! Florida is hard for finding true quality trades and this is the best in his field, unquestionably, 10000%

This Company is the best I’ve ever used! Jeremy and his entire team are so polite and professional. Their finished work on our brand new restaurant and Guest restrooms were beautiful and just perfect work!! I highly recommend and would absolutely use them again.

While the work done by Paradigm exceeded all my expectations, I must say that my favorite part about working with them was the level communication and transparency from start to finish. While I was anxious about our tight timeline, Jeremy assured me (multiple times a day) that everything would come together and be completed. Not only did his team finish on time, they completely transformed nearly 8k square feet of our work space in 5 days. I highly recommend them! Look no further the "Concrete King" has got your back!

What is pool deck resurfacing anyway?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

Pool deck resurfacing is a process that combines grinding, repairs and appearance improvements to give your concrete pool deck a completely new and unique look. There are tons of options from stone to staining and we have them all.

What’s the best material for pool deck surfacing?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

There are many different options for pool deck resurfacing. Some materials commonsly used for pool decks are wood, concrete, concrete overlays, staining, rubber and stone. When you are choosing your pool deck surface, it’s important to consider budget, moisture resistance, safety and maintenance. We are a big fan of concrete staining, coatings and rubber pool deck surfaces. You can see one of our key supply partners for more information here https://www.rubcorp.com/

How can we account for water drainage in pool deck surfacing?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

Pool deck surfaces are constantly bombarded with water. Therefore, regardless of the surfacing you go for, it’s wise to account for adequate water drainage, thus preventing water puddles. An expert surfacing contractor understands this and will design for maximum water drainage. The rubber pool deck surfaces that our team installs allow water to drain through the surface, thus preventing slips and falls. For most Floridians, social life is synonymous with poolside living. However, when creating an outdoor entertainment space by the pool, you need to install a safe and functional flooring that allows everyone to have a fun time. Use the information shared in this post to choose a suitable pool decking surface that best meets your needs. Here at Paradigm Concrete Finishes, we take pride in everything that we do; and pool decks are one of those things. We can handle concrete staining, sealing and even coatings for your pool deck in addition to pavers and travertine. We would be happy to schedule a meeting and handle your full pool remodel.

Can I resurface my pool and deck at the same time?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

Usually, the pool and the deck do not wear at the same time. However, if your pool area needs a facelift, you can get in touch with Paradigm’s team of experts who will critically evaluate your pool and suggest the best solution. Talking to an expert surfacing firm can save you consultation, material, and labor costs.

How much does a pool deck resurfacing project usually cost?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

Pool Deck resurfacing costs can vary greatly in cost because of all of the different options. It would be very hard for us to throw out an average cost for our pool deck resurfacing projects because the sky’s the limit. Pricing your pool deck depends on the size and scope of the project and what you want the end result to be. If you schedule a free consultation with us, we’ll be happy to provide you with an estimate after reviewing the job specs. You might be able to find a contractor to do the job for a little less, but we guarantee that they won’t be as reliable as we are.

Can I go DIY with my pool deck surfacing?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

Surfacing the pool deck requires expertise and experience in handling the materials used. For instance, installing rubber decking for pools is a complex process involving steps like application assessment, measuring and estimating, knowing the mixing ratios and environmental adjustments, and surface preparation. Even a small mistake could mean irreversible damage to the deck. It demands attention to detail which is only possible when professional rubber decking installers are on the job. Make sure you involve an expert who’s experienced in pool deck building.

What types of pool deck finishes, surfaces and flooring options are there?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

Natural concrete, exposed aggregate, colored concrete (broom finish, salt finish, others), acrylic lace coating, acrylic stamp patterns, limestone coatings, and flagstone coatings are just a few of the options we offer. Bottom line: we do pool decking and redecking that looks great and slip and fall accidents.

Why Is Polished Concrete So Environmentally Friendly?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

Polished concrete ads very little chemicals. It is truly the process of bringing out the natural hardness and appeal of concrete. Because of this, these floors don’t add anything bad to the world. They are also reflective and help to transmit sunlight. That’s why polished concrete floors are some of the most sought after floors in the world.

How Many Steps Does It Take To Polish Concrete?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

Depending upon the level of finish, the concrete polishing process can take anywhere from 7 to 12 passes.

Is a stained concrete floor durable?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

The stained concrete process usually follows the exact same steps as a polished concrete system. We just add staining agents depending on the colors that you are trying to achieve. You can use Acid Stains or Water based stains to get the look that you want.

How Do I Choose Which Type Of Concrete Stain Is The Best For Me?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

Acid Stain Acid staining is the oldest form of concrete staining and one of the first ways that concrete was manipulated and made into designs. Hats off to the veteran concrete artisans from last century, this is a great flooring option. Acid stains are made from water, muriatic acid, and metallic salts. Acid stains modify the color of concrete by reacting with the surface of the concrete and chemically bonding to the slab. Acid stains are penetrating, creating a colored surface that’s completely resistant to ultraviolet light. These acid stains work really well in Florida because they can hold up to the hot Florida sun and last a very long time. Because of this, it’s our concrete stain of choice for anything outdoors. Water Based Stains Unlike acid stains, water based concrete stains have a bunch of colors. Water based stains also don’t work with concrete the same way an acid stain does. These stains are a pretty recent development for the concrete staining community and work by impregnating the concrete surface. The great thing is that water based stains give you almost the exact color you are looking for where Acid Stains are more likely to bring out the natural color of the concrete. This is the type of stain that you will recognize when you see an intricate logo or corporation that has different colors designed into their floor. Water based stains are great but they don’t work as well as an acid stain outside in the Sarasota sun. Water-based concrete stains should always be coated with a high quality concrete sealer. The concrete sealer might have to be reapplied every few years if it’s in a very high traffic area. Water based concrete stains have no odors or VOC’s. They also dry extremely quickly which is a huge benefit if you are looking for an overnight touch up to your business. Concrete Dye Concrete dyes are not reactive to concrete. They offer the most transparency and natural appearance of any concrete stain, and are mainly used for tinting polished concrete or concrete overlayments. Solvent based concrete dyes are very uniform in their color, but require very skilled installers that have years of experience because the dye is so fast to dry, you only get one shot. Concrete dyes are not UV stable and therefore can’t be used for outdoor installations. Like water based concrete stains, they should always be installed with a high quality concrete sealer to prevent fading in high traffic areas.

How much do epoxy floors cost?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

Are Epoxy Floors Slippery?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

Why should I have a professional install my garage floor vs DIY?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

It’s hot in Sarasota, and the entire west coast of Florida for that matter. When you drive around, your tires get hot. Then you drive into your garage. What happens is, your hot tires will peel the epoxy if you don’t have a 100% epoxy solid system that is installed properly through prepping the floor. Pouring a paint that has an epoxy additive on the floor just won’t work long term. You end up paying double in the end because you will have to call us to take up the failed garage floor system and put the right type of floor down anyway.

How Long Does It Take To Install A Garage Epoxy Floor?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

This can be a tricky question to answer because each situation can vary the amount of prep work that’s needed on the existing concrete slab. Installation can be as fast as one day if the slab is in good condition and we use a fast cure epoxy. Sometimes the floor can be a two or three day system. You can walk on the floor and use the floor after 48 hours.

Where Can Epoxy Flooring Be Applied?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

What Are The Benefits Of Garage Epoxy Flooring?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

There are so many benefits to epoxy garage floors. Honestly, it’s hard to list them all. Here are a few. Epoxy floors can be antimicrobial so they work for schools, commercial kitchens and food and beverage manufacturing plants. There are self leveling epoxy systems that work for imaging centers. If you have an MRI machine that needs a 100% level floor, epoxy can be the only solution. Durability and strength are the two biggest reasons our customers love epoxy floors. When the concrete prep work is done correctly and the right system is installed, it’s just amazing how durable these floors are. They are slip resistant in nature and can stand up to chemicals and high foot traffic and machine traffic. Aesthetics – We can install glitter floors, metallic floors or flake floors to make your floor a work of art. Epoxy floors are eco-friendly! They require fewer materials than other flooring systems so they produce less waste. Maintenance is very low on epoxy floor systems. Use a map with some soap and water if you ever want to clean them.

How Long Can An Epoxy Floor Last?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

“Epoxy” from a painter or big box store usually only lasts for a short period of time. If you have a 100% epoxy floor, it can last up to a lifetime. It’s important to make sure you have the right flooring system based on the needs of the floor. If you install the wrong type of epoxy outdoors for instance, it will yellow when it’s exposed to sunlight and you will need to replace the floor.

Can I stain or apply epoxy coatings myself?

Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021
Paradigm Concrete Finishes | Sep 15, 2021

Would you replace your own roof? If the answer is no, you should probably stay away from taking on a concrete staining project yourself. The devil is in the detail with these floors and if it’s not done correctly, it can really be a mess. To even attempt to do this type of floor correctly, you would first have to figure out how to plug a 2,000 pound grinder into an electrical box without short circuiting the power in your home or worse.. Different stains are applied differently. The goal is to get the stain to adhere to the concrete so that it bonds and keeps it looking incredible without fading.
