Coatings vs. Painting - the Great Divide. This is a really good question that was asked by a fan on our Facebook page. Painting Contractors usually work on interior and exterior walls, ceilings, trim, metal surfaces, etc. Concrete Floor Coatings applicators, like us, primarily apply resinous coating products to interior floor surfaces and sometimes interior vertical surfaces. For instance, we are presently on a project at Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe (you know, where they make those delicious potato rolls) that includes walls where the coated floor surface is continued up the wall to make it easy to clean and more durable. This is especially important since the area is used for washing pastry mixers. So if you have a concrete floor we will be happy to “coat” it.
