Concrete goes in gray. It comes out yours.

What we pour
Six systems. One standard of prep.
The finish is what you see. The grind underneath it is what decides whether you are still happy in year eight. We do not skip it to win a price.
Metallic Epoxy Flooring
Pigment moved by hand while the resin is still open. Depth, movement, and no two floors alike.
See metallic floors →Flake Epoxy Flooring
Broadcast vinyl flake in eighteen blends, sealed under a clear coat that shrugs off hot tires.
Flake colors →Garage Floor Coatings
The workhorse. Ground, patched, coated and back in service on a schedule you can plan around.
Garage systems →Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
Cures fast and holds its color under Florida UV. The choice when downtime costs money.
Why polyaspartic →Pool Deck Coatings
Texture underfoot, cool to walk on, and sealed against chlorine and standing water.
Pool deck options →Commercial Epoxy Flooring
Shops, warehouses and kitchens. Coatings rated for traffic, chemicals and inspection.
Commercial work →The work
A floor is not a product. It is a pour.
Prime Resin started because our owner got tired of watching other crews rush the part nobody photographs. He had spent years around resin, learned the craft through JP Resin, took contract work for Don Resin, and kept running into the same shortcut: grind it light, coat it fast, move on.
That shortcut is why epoxy gets a bad name. A coating is only as good as its bond, and bond is bought with diamond grinding, patched cracks and a moisture read before a single kit is opened. We do that on a two-car garage the same way we do it on a warehouse.
“Unleashing creativity with every pour.” It is on the truck because it is the actual job. Metallic work is closer to painting than to construction.
The other half is cleanliness. We mask what we are not coating, we keep the site tidy while we work, and we leave your garage cleaner than we found it. It sounds small. Ask anyone who has had a contractor track resin across their driveway.
- Diamond grinding on every job, not a chemical etch
- Cracks and pinholes filled before the first coat
- Clear cure windows so you know when to walk and when to park
- One installer from quote to final coat

How a Prime Resin floor gets built
How a floor actually gets built
Six steps, in this order, every time. Skipping any of them is how a floor peels in year two.
We look at the slab
Moisture, cracks, oil, old coating. What is under there decides the system, so we read it before quoting.
You pick the finish
Eighteen flake blends and custom metallic mixes. We bring samples and show you the same blend in daylight and under your garage lights.
We grind it open
Diamond grinding to a profile the resin can key into. Dust goes into the vacuum, not your house.
We repair and prime
Cracks, pinholes and spalls filled. Primer goes down so the build coat has something honest to hold.
We pour
Metallic gets worked by hand. Flake gets broadcast to refusal. This is the part that makes it yours.
We seal and hand it back
Clear topcoat, then exact times for foot traffic and for parking. No guessing.
Where we work
Sarasota out to a 120-mile radius.
We are based in Sarasota and run the Gulf Coast from Naples up through Tampa Bay, inland to Lakeland and Orlando, and north toward Ocala. That covers twenty-four counties.
Closer jobs get scheduled faster. Further ones we batch, so if you are out toward Lee County or Orange County it is worth calling early in the week.
Counties we cover
Sarasota · Manatee · Charlotte · Hillsborough · Pinellas · Pasco · Lee · Collier · Polk · Orange · and 14 more.

Why nobody honest quotes a floor over the phone
Price follows three things: how big the floor is, what condition the concrete is in, and which system goes on top. Only the first of those is knowable without looking, which is why a firm number quoted sight-unseen is either padded to cover the unknown or about to change once someone shows up.
Condition moves it most. A sound slab that needs grinding and nothing else is straightforward. One carrying cracks, oil staining, a moisture problem or a failed coating that has to come off first is a different job, and that work happens before any resin is opened. We would rather show you where the cost is than hand you a range that means nothing.
System matters too. Grind and seal is the cheapest route to a floor that stops dusting and staining. Flake sits in the middle and is what most garages get. Metallic costs more because it takes longer and cannot be rushed, since the pour has to be worked by hand while it is still open.
What we will not do is quote low, start the job, and find problems. If the slab needs repair before it needs a coating, you hear that at the first visit, even when it makes the job smaller.
Questions
Questions people actually ask
How long does an epoxy or metallic floor take?
A standard two-car garage is usually three days on site: grind and repair, base and broadcast, then the clear topcoat. Metallic work and larger commercial floors run longer because the pour itself takes time. We give you the day count before we start, not after.
When can I walk on it and when can I park on it?
Foot traffic is typically the day after the topcoat. Vehicles need longer, usually four to five days, because hot tires are the real test. Humidity moves those numbers, which is why we give you exact dates for your job rather than a brochure figure.
What is the difference between metallic, flake and grind and seal?
Metallic uses pigments moved through clear resin for depth and movement, so it reads like stone or liquid metal. Flake broadcasts vinyl chips into the base coat for a speckled, hard-wearing surface that hides dirt. Grind and seal polishes and seals the concrete you already have, with no build on top. Different looks, different budgets, same prep underneath.
Will it peel?
It peels when prep is skipped. Coating over a sealed or dirty slab, or over moisture nobody measured, guarantees failure no matter whose product is in the bucket. We diamond grind every floor and check moisture first, which is the whole reason our floors stay down.
Are these floors slippery when wet?
A smooth topcoat is slick wet, so for pool decks, lanais and any wet area we add an aggregate to the final coat. It changes the feel underfoot slightly and it is worth it. For a garage interior most people skip it.
Can you coat cracked, stained or previously coated concrete?
Usually yes. Cracks get chased out and filled, oil spots get degreased and burned off, and old failing coatings get ground off entirely. Concrete that is structurally gone is the one case where we will tell you to fix the slab first.
Do you do custom colors?
Yes. Eighteen flake blends off the shelf, and metallic is mixed per floor, so you can match cabinets, a car, or a room you already love. Bring us a photo and we will get close.
How do I look after it?
Sweep or dust mop, and wash with a mild cleaner when it needs it. No harsh acids and no steel wool. That is genuinely the whole routine.
Do you work outside Sarasota?
We cover twenty-four counties inside a 120-mile radius, from Naples to Ocala and across to Orlando. Look for your city on the service areas page or just call and ask.
