Commercial Elastomeric Coating in Lake Worth Beach
Lake Worth Beach's diverse commercial stucco requires precise coating. Applying standard elastomeric to 1920s historic masonry traps moisture, causing severe damage.

What Is Commercial Elastomeric Coating?
Commercial elastomeric coating protects stucco by blocking moisture and bridging thermal cracks, but the correct system in Lake Worth Beach depends entirely on the substrate. Incompatible synthetic coatings trap moisture in pre-war masonry, accelerating deterioration, especially with salt air. Mid-century facades fail primarily due to UV degradation and thermal cycling. Once cracks open, salt-laden moisture corrodes metal lath and fractures the masonry, creating a falling hazard, liability, and milestone inspection deficiency.{.mark}
Building facade elastomeric coating
Protective waterproof membrane on CBS block, concrete block, and masonry commercial envelopes across Lake Worth Beach's Dixie Highway corridor, Lake Avenue redevelopment corridor, and non-historic commercial building stock
Breathable mineral and lime-compatible coating systems
For Old Town's 1920s-1940s pre-war commercial masonry facades where standard synthetic elastomeric coatings are not appropriate and would cause damage to the original material
EIFS topcoat restoration
Elastomeric finish coat repair and renewal on any EIFS-clad commercial building in Lake Worth Beach's newer construction stock
Post-repair protective coating
Elastomeric or breathable topcoat applied after commercial stucco crack repair or delamination repair, completing the restoration scope with a continuous protective layer
Parking structure and stairwell coating
Protective elastomeric and penetrating sealer on parking structure facades and stairwell elements
Penetrating silane and siloxane sealers
For commercial masonry and concrete surfaces where a film-forming coating is not appropriate, including specific historic masonry assemblies in Old Town
Why Act Now: The Case for Lake Worth Beach Building Owners
Costs significantly less than full facade remediation driven by moisture damage caused by an incompatible coating system applied over original historic masonry, the most expensive outcome in the Lake Worth Beach commercial market is correcting coating damage on an Old Town pre-war facade
On Intracoastal-adjacent and Lake Worth Lagoon-facing commercial facades in Old Town and South Palm Park, a degraded coating film allows salt-air chloride penetration that accelerates substrate damage at a rate that inland properties do not experience
Addresses the coating failure at its source, incompatible coating-substrate combinations on historic masonry, UV degradation and accumulated coating incompatibility on mid-century Dixie Highway buildings, salt-air adhesion failure on Lagoon-adjacent downtown facades, not just the visible surface blister
For qualifying commercial buildings within 3 miles of the Lake Worth Beach barrier island, Florida's milestone inspection statute triggers at 25 years, exposed substrate, spalling stucco above occupied areas, and failed coating film are among the conditions cited in Phase 1 engineer reports requiring documented remediation
Completed with phased access that keeps the building operational and minimises disruption to Lake Avenue and Dixie Highway commercial tenants throughout the project
Backed by a written workmanship warranty with full documentation for building records and milestone inspection regulatory submission

The Honest Answer
Restoration Vs Replacement
Some contractors push replacement because it generates a larger contract. We do not. Here is the head-to-head.
Restoration
What we recommend in the majority of cases we assess in Lake Worth Beach.
Replacement
When the substrate is gone or the structure is past saving.
We give you a straight answer after the assessment, not after looking at the size of the contract.

Frequently Asked
Lake Worth Beach Elastomeric Coating FAQ
The questions Lake Worth Beach owners ask most. Tap any to expand.
The Historic Old Town Commercial District along Lake Avenue and Lucerne Avenue contains commercial buildings with original lime-based and early Portland cement masonry assemblies dating from 1912 to 1949. Standard acrylic elastomeric coatings form an impermeable or low-permeability film over the facade surface that prevents moisture vapour from escaping through the wall. In Lake Worth Beach's Intracoastal humidity and rainfall, moisture that cannot escape through the coating surface is driven back into the original masonry, causing efflorescence, spalling, and progressive deterioration of the historic fabric from within. The correct system for these buildings is a breathable mineral coating that allows moisture vapour movement through the wall while still providing surface protection. As Certified Jahn Applicators, Anthony Pennacchi and Son's is qualified to specify, apply, and document these systems for buildings within the National Register-listed district.
