Working Between Thunderstorms

Epoxy flooring in Orangetree is planned around the weather more than almost anywhere in Collier County. A 2016 study in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society found that Orangetree gets more lightning than any other location in the United States, about 200 flashes per square mile each year, according to Wikipedia. Storms like that bring sudden downpours, a jump in humidity and wet ground, and each one affects how a coating cures.

Why humidity matters during install

Epoxy and polyaspartic coatings react with the air as they cure. When the air is close to its dew point, a cool slab can collect condensation, which leads to a cloudy finish or a weak bond. We check air temperature, relative humidity and slab temperature before we mix anything. On summer days we usually start early, aim to finish the topcoat before the afternoon storms build, and keep the garage door closed while it cures.

New construction

Orangetree is still growing. ACS figures on Point2Homes show about 16.5% of homes built in 2020 or later and 43% from 2000 to 2009, with a median build year of 2007. Fresh slabs need time to give off their mix water. We look at the pour date, test moisture and tell you if it is too soon. Coating a brand-new slab early is one of the most common causes of bubbles and peeling.

Family garages on bigger lots

About 90% of Orangetree homes are detached, and 38.6% of households include children, per Wikipedia and Point2Homes. Garages here hold bikes, lawn equipment and the occasional project. A flake system hides dirt and small scratches, and a polyaspartic topcoat resists the hot tires of a car that has just come in from the heat. We add grit near the door where wet feet track in after a storm.

Higher ground, still wet

Wikipedia lists Orangetree at about 20 feet above sea level, higher than coastal Naples. Water still covers about 13.6% of the area, and summer storms saturate the soil. We take moisture readings at several points on the slab and choose the primer based on what we find.

Orangetree Questions

What if a storm rolls in during my Orangetree install?

We watch the forecast and the dew point and keep the garage door down once coats are applied. If conditions turn bad before a coat goes on, we pause rather than risk a poor cure.

How soon after closing on a new home can I coat the garage?

That turns on the slab's pour date and what the moisture test shows. Many new slabs are ready within weeks, some need longer. We will tell you after testing.

Why do you check the dew point?

If the slab is cooler than the dew point, moisture can form on it. That moisture can cloud the finish or weaken the bond, so we only coat when there is a safe margin.

Does higher ground mean I can skip the moisture test?

No. Elevation helps, but storms and irrigation still soak the soil around a slab. We test every floor before choosing a primer.
