01Boca Raton Elastomeric Coating

What Is Commercial Elastomeric Coating?

Commercial elastomeric coating protects stucco and masonry by blocking moisture and bridging thermal cracks. Failure occurs when UV degradation reduces the coating's elasticity, allowing thermal cycling to create cracks where moisture enters, causing metal lath corrosion and stucco fracture. In Boca Raton, this failure is a common cause for deficiency citations under Ordinance 5589, impacting compliance, tenant safety (falling hazards), and asset value.

01

Building facade elastomeric coating

Protective waterproof membrane on commercial stucco and masonry building envelopes across Boca Raton's office parks, retail centres, and mixed-use commercial properties

02

EIFS topcoat restoration

Elastomeric finish coat repair and renewal on Exterior Insulation and Finish System facades common on 1980s-1990s Boca Raton office buildings

03

Post-repair protective coating

Elastomeric topcoat applied after commercial stucco crack repair or delamination repair, completing the restoration scope with a continuous waterproof layer

04

Parking structure and stairwell coating

Protective elastomeric and penetrating sealer application on parking structure facades and exposed stairwell elements

05

Penetrating silane and siloxane sealers

For commercial masonry and concrete surfaces where a film-forming coating is not the appropriate system for the substrate

02Why Act Now

Why Act Now: The Case for Boca Raton Building Owners

01

Costs significantly less than full facade stucco removal and re-application driven by substrate damage that a sound protective coating programme would have prevented

02

Under Boca Raton's Ordinance 5589, a degraded or failed elastomeric coating leaving the facade substrate exposed and cracking is a recertification deficiency, addressing it before the inspection avoids the 30-day repair plan submission requirement and the scrutiny that follows

03

Addresses the coating failure at its source, UV degradation of the acrylic matrix, thermal cracking at control joints, salt-air adhesion failure on Intracoastal-adjacent east Boca commercial facades, not just the visible surface blister or chalk

04

Protects against the falling hazard liability that spalling facade material above occupied building entrances creates when a protective coating system has been allowed to fail

05

Completed with a phased programme that keeps the building fully operational and minimises tenant disruption during application

06

Backed by a written workmanship warranty with full documentation for building records and regulatory submission

Frequently Asked

Boca Raton Elastomeric Coating FAQ

The questions Boca Raton owners ask most. Tap any to expand.

Boca Raton passed Ordinance 5589, among the most stringent building recertification requirements in Palm Beach County, requiring all threshold commercial buildings 30 years or older to undergo recertification inspections every 10 years. A threshold building includes any structure greater than 3 stories or 50 feet in height, or with assembly occupancy exceeding 5,000 sq ft and 500 persons. Facade coating failure is a common deficiency citation in recertification engineer reports: degraded coating films, exposed and cracking stucco, and failed caulking at window surrounds are all documentable conditions that require a repair plan submitted to the Boca Raton Building Department within 30 days. Proactive coating maintenance before a deficiency is cited is significantly less expensive and less disruptive than emergency remediation under a signed repair plan deadline.
