Why Blake Built This Crew for the SWFL Coast
Blake runs Ascent Epoxy Fort Myers as a hands-on, owner-led operation across Lee County — Cape Coral, Fort Myers Beach, Estero, North Fort Myers, and the inland communities of Lehigh Acres and Gateway. The same crew that quotes your floor is the crew that grinds it, primes it, and walks it with you at the end. No call-center handoff, no rotating subs.
What sets a Southwest Florida floor apart isn't just humidity — it's the salt air rolling in off the Gulf, the storm-season flooding that drives moisture up through a slab, and the rhythm of snowbird homes that sit shuttered half the year. A coating that shrugs all three off has to be specified for this coast specifically. That's why Blake won't run a job off a generic out-of-state spec sheet — every Lee County install is planned around what the Gulf throws at it.
Most Lee County slabs sit barely above a high water table, so vapor pushes up from below long after the last rain — and trapped moisture is the number-one reason coatings peel here. Blake's quote always starts with a free slab-moisture test before a single price is named. If a Cape Coral garage or an Estero lanai reads high, his team specs a moisture-mitigation primer, diamond-grinds the surface to a true profile, and waits for the slab to be ready instead of coating to a calendar. That patience is the line between a floor that holds for decades and one that lifts by the next wet season.
What We Stand For
The four rules Blake holds every Lee County floor to — from the first slab test to the final coat.
Southwest Florida Know-How
Blake's crew works the Gulf coast every week — they read the difference between a salt-exposed Cape Coral canal garage, a North Fort Myers slab-on-grade home, and an inland Lehigh Acres build. Every job opens with a free slab-moisture test and prep matched to that specific site, because a spec written for a dry climate peels the first humid season here.
Coastal-Grade Materials
We install professional systems built to stand up to salt air and Gulf humidity — never a big-box DIY kit. UV-stable topcoats keep their color through Florida sun, and the primers and base coats are chosen for slabs that take on moisture during storm season. The right product for this coast, not the cheapest one on the shelf.
Free On-Site Estimates
We measure the space, test the slab, and put your price in writing before work starts — handy whether you live here full-time or you're a snowbird lining up work before the season. No bait-and-switch quotes, no hidden fees, no surprise line items after the grind starts. See what goes into the price.
Guaranteed Work
Every install comes with a written warranty that spells out exactly what's covered, what isn't, and how to file a claim. You're not chasing an out-of-town contractor if a question comes up a season later — the same local team stands behind the floor.
Ascent Epoxy runs as a network of vetted local installers across the country, each held to one shared standard for quality, communication, and follow-through. Here on the Southwest Florida coast, that standard is carried by Blake and the Fort Myers crew.
You get the backing of a national brand — free on-site estimates, written warranties, a real process — paired with someone who actually drives Lee County roads and knows what salt air and storm season do to a slab. Blake stays on your project from the first consultation through the final walkthrough. No subcontractors, no strangers at your door.
"Super happy with how my epoxy floor came out. Smooth finish, no weird bubbles, and it actually makes cleaning easier. Worth every bit."
