Restaurant Epoxy that survives the room
Grease, water and a health inspector. The whole system goes down in one visit on most homes.
Passes inspection and stops the slips.
What we actually install
Quartz to drains with coving, food-safe throughout.
The honest answer about a floor comes from grinding a patch of it. Hot oil, constant water and fast movement.

Hot oil, constant water and fast movement.
Cure
One day, one crew, then cure time does the rest.
What the install actually looks like
We open up the surface and see what we are actually dealing with.
Every job starts the same way, with the slab itself. We turn up with the grinder and the extraction first, and the first hour is dust and noise rather than anything that looks like progress. Quartz to drains with coving, food-safe throughout.
Once the slab is open and clean we chase any cracks, fill them, and grind those flat. Then the primer goes down, and from that point the day is a sequence with cure windows in it rather than a job you can rush. One day, one crew, then cure time does the rest.
Family run since 2021, and the same four people who quote your floor are the ones who install it. That matters on a restaurant epoxy job because the person who decided the spec is the person holding the squeegee, so nothing gets lost between the quote and the floor.
Choosing somebody to do our Floors was a hard decision but I am so happy we picked ICM coating masters. The results are beautiful and The time and effort put into the work was amazing.Verified review
Other retail floors we coat
The slab decides the spec.
What we find under a restaurant epoxy job
Exterior concrete has UV and thermal cycling on top of everything else. Materials that are fine indoors amber and chalk outside, so exterior work gets a UV-stable topcoat as standard.
Concrete keeps moving for years after it is poured, and it moves more near the coast where the ground is wet and sandy. That is why we detail edges and joints rather than laying one continuous rigid sheet and hoping.
The system we specify
Polished concrete uses a densifier that reacts chemically with the slab, hardening it rather than coating it. There is nothing to peel because there is no film.
Epoxy is the body of the system and polyaspartic is the armour. The epoxy bonds and builds thickness, the topcoat takes the abrasion and the UV. Using one without the other is where most cheap floors go wrong.
Specified from the load, not a brochure.
A retail floor is doing two jobs at once
It has to survive the traffic and it has to look like part of the fit-out. Those pull in opposite directions. The most durable finishes are textured and dark, and the finishes that photograph well are smooth and bright. Where a floor lands between those is a decision worth making deliberately rather than by default.
The practical constraint in retail is almost always time. You cannot close for a week. That means phasing the work, or working nights, or using a fast-cure system that is walkable before you open. All three are possible and they cost differently, so it is worth saying up front which one matters most to you.
Most houses are done inside a day, then 12 hours to foot traffic.
What we plan around
Grease, water and a health inspector.
What this floor has to put up with
Hot oil, constant water and fast movement. Quartz to drains with coving, food-safe throughout. That combination is what we specify against, and it is why a restaurant epoxy job is quoted from the room rather than from a rate card.
Passes inspection and stops the slips. Single day turnaround on typical residential slabs.
Living with the floor afterwards
Warehouse floors want a scrubber with the right pad, not the most aggressive one available.
Do not drag steel across it. Lift it, or put something under it.
We work out of Laurel and cover roughly a hundred miles in every direction. That takes in Jones County, Rankin, Simpson and Lamar to the north and west, the whole Mississippi coast from Bay St. Louis through Biloxi to Pascagoula, across into Baldwin and Mobile County in Alabama, and west to St. Tammany Parish. See the areas we cover.
Questions we get asked
How long before we can use the room again?
The whole system goes down in one visit on most homes.
How much of the job is preparation?
Quartz to drains with coving, food-safe throughout. The honest answer about a floor comes from grinding a patch of it.
How durable is it in practice?
Hot oil, constant water and fast movement. We specify the build thickness against the actual use, not a standard sheet.
Are you working in Alabama and Louisiana too?
Yes. We cover south Mississippi, the coast, coastal Alabama and St. Tammany Parish, roughly a hundred miles out from Laurel.
Who runs the job?
A family operation out of Laurel, running since 2021.
Can I see the colour before deciding?
Yes. We bring the chip deck out and you pick the blend against your own light and your own walls. Colours read differently under LED, under a skylight and under a garage door that is half open, so choosing off a photograph is how people end up disappointed.
What if there is already a coating on it?
Exterior concrete has UV and thermal cycling on top of everything else. Materials that are fine indoors amber and chalk outside, so exterior work gets a UV-stable topcoat as standard.
What should I avoid doing to it?
Sunlight through a garage door will fade a cheap floor unevenly along the door line. UV-stable topcoats exist precisely for that.
What makes the difference long term?
Thickness is specified from the load, not from a brochure. A residential garage and a forklift aisle both get epoxy, and they are not the same floor.
Get us out to see it. That is the only way to be accurate.
The crew is family. That is why the quote and the finished floor match. Serving Laurel and south Mississippi, the Gulf Coast, coastal Alabama and St. Tammany Parish. See finished floors or get in touch.
