Commercial · Albuquerque, NM
Elite Epoxy Albuquerque installs and repairs commercial kitchen epoxy flooring built for daily washdowns, grease, and heavy traffic. Since 2016, we have delivered seamless, sanitary resin floors for restaurants, commissaries, breweries, and food prep facilities in Albuquerque with clear downtime planning and clean details at drains, coves, and thresholds.
Performance starts with prep and the right base. We evaluate concrete for laitance, oil contamination, moisture vapor transmission, and movement cracks, then build the system to match the conditions and the health department reality of your kitchen. Most projects begin with dust-controlled diamond grinding or shot blasting (CSP 2-4 profile) using industrial HEPA vacuums, followed by degreasing, crack routing, and epoxy patching or polymer-modified mortar repairs. For problem slabs, we add a moisture-mitigating epoxy primer and detail transitions, doorways, trench drains, and equipment pads before any topcoat goes down.
Albuquerque’s dry climate still sees steam, hot water, and thermal shock in kitchens, so we select resins for temperature swings, chemical exposure, and slip resistance. For many kitchens, we install a 3/16-inch to 1/4-inch urethane cement (urethane mortar) system for high heat, impact, and constant washdowns, finished with a chemical-resistant urethane or epoxy topcoat. Where budget and downtime are tighter, we may recommend a high-build epoxy with broadcast quartz or aluminum oxide grit to hit a workable wet coefficient of friction while staying easy to squeegee. We can add integral 4-6 inch cove base, radius coves at wall-to-floor joints, and smooth, sealed terminations that reduce harbor points around sinks, cook lines, and dish areas.
Operators choose us because we treat commercial kitchens like production spaces, not decorative garages. You get a written scope, clear resin system specs (primer, build coat, aggregate, topcoat), and honest guidance on what will and will not hold up under fryer grease, sanitizers, and rolling loads. Our crews protect adjacent areas, control dust and odor, and coordinate work windows around deliveries, refrigeration, and hood cleaning so your team can reopen on schedule. We are licensed and insured, and we have been serving Albuquerque since 2016 with workmanship that prioritizes drainage details, clean edges, and long-term maintainability.
Before turnover, we walk the floor with you to confirm slope to drains, coves, slip-resistance, and transitions at thresholds, walk-in coolers, and dish pits. You receive care and cleaning instructions that match your system (approved degreasers, scrub pads, and dilution ratios), plus cure-time guidance for foot traffic, rolling racks, and hot-water washdowns. If you need repairs, we can sawcut and rebuild damaged sections, feather transitions, and re-topcoat to restore chemical resistance without replacing the entire floor. Every proposal includes a free written estimate, a schedule you can plan around, and a system built to support inspections and daily sanitation.
Yes. We operate as a professional epoxy contractor and carry insurance, and we provide written estimates and a defined scope before work begins.
We typically diamond-grind for a consistent mechanical profile and stronger adhesion. Acid etching alone is not a substitute for proper surface profiling on most slabs.
Sometimes. We test adhesion and check for peeling, contamination, and incompatible coatings, then grind and recoat if the base is sound. If the old coating is failing, removal and a new system is the reliable option.
A UV-stable topcoat, commonly polyaspartic or aliphatic polyurethane, helps reduce ambering and chalking compared to epoxy exposed to direct sun.
Yes. We install vinyl flake broadcast systems in a range of blends and coverage levels, then lock it in with a clear topcoat in gloss or satin.
Commercial kitchen epoxy flooring has to do more than look clean. It must handle grease, constant washdowns, sanitizers, rolling loads, and temperature swings while staying seamless and easy to maintain. Elite Epoxy Albuquerque installs and repairs resin flooring systems designed for food service environments, including kitchens, prep rooms, dish areas, walk-ins, and service corridors. We focus on concrete prep, correct resin selection, and detailing around drains and wall bases so your floor supports daily sanitation and predictable operations.
Most failures in commercial kitchen floors start below the coating. That is why our process begins with inspection and mechanical surface prep, typically diamond grinding or shot blasting to the right concrete surface profile, followed by degreasing and repairs. We address cracks, spalls, and soft spots, then install a primer suited to your slab and exposure. For kitchens with hot-water washdown and thermal shock, urethane cement is often the most durable choice, commonly installed at 3/16-inch to 1/4-inch thickness for impact and chemical resistance. For lighter duty zones, a high-build epoxy with broadcast quartz or aluminum oxide can provide traction and cleanability at a lower build.
Detail work matters in food service. We plan terminations at stainless floor sinks, trench drains, cleanouts, and door thresholds, and we can install 4-6 inch cove base to reduce corners that trap soil. Finish options include smooth satin topcoats for easier mopping, or textured broadcasts where wet traction is the priority. If your floor is already failing, we can remove delaminated areas, rebuild with epoxy mortar, and recoat to restore a continuous, sealed surface without a full rip-out.
If you are comparing bids for commercial kitchen epoxy flooring in Albuquerque, ask what prep method is included, whether moisture testing is addressed, and what resin system is specified for heat and chemicals. We provide a written estimate, clear system recommendations, and a schedule that fits your operating hours. When you are ready, we will walk the space, confirm details, and deliver a floor built for inspections, daily cleaning, and long-term service.
