Protective coatings are a wise investment for Florida properties. Whether you need industrial or commercial painting, you’ll go beyond aesthetics with our protective and specialty coatings services. Limit your commercial or industrial structure’s exposure to the elements while enhancing durability.
Why Protective or Specialty Coatings for Your Florida Building?
Protective and specialty coatings improve buildings’ chemical resistance, boost fire resistance, and safeguard surfaces from degradation caused by environment or usage. Prevent rust and oxidation, keep water from penetrating porous materials, and enhance UV resistance.
Our commercial and industrial painting clients also choose our coatings for abrasion and impact resistance, chemical resistance, and fire resistance.

Protecting Your Florida Business for Over 30 Years
Protective and specialty coatings play a vital role in extending the life, safety, and performance of Florida’s commercial and industrial facilities. At Dulakis Painting, we understand that standard paint simply isn’t enough to withstand the extreme environmental conditions and operational demands found throughout the state. High humidity, UV exposure, salt intrusion, chemical contact, abrasion, and heavy-duty workflows require advanced coating systems engineered for durability and long-term protection. That’s why businesses across Florida rely on experienced professionals to apply specialized coatings that defend against corrosion, impact, chemical damage, and moisture intrusion.
Protective and specialty coatings are highly technical systems that must be selected and installed with precision. Dulakis Painting’s team is trained in proper surface preparation, product compatibility, specification requirements, and application techniques necessary for high-performance environments. Whether a project requires epoxy floor systems, intumescent fireproofing, chemical-resistant coatings, anti-graffiti barriers, moisture vapor barriers, elastomeric wall coatings, or corrosion-resistant metal primers, we deliver solutions tailored to each facility’s needs. These coatings not only enhance durability—they help industrial and commercial properties maintain safety compliance, reduce maintenance costs, and increase operational efficiency.
Across Florida, rapidly expanding markets depend on these advanced coating systems to protect their investments. In North Florida, cities such as Jacksonville, Orange Park, and St. Augustine rely on corrosion-resistant and moisture-blocking coatings to protect metal structures, warehouses, marine-adjacent facilities, and manufacturing operations. The region’s exposure to moisture and salt-laden air makes high-performance coatings essential for long-term structural integrity.
The Florida Panhandle, including Pensacola, Panama City, Destin, and Fort Walton Beach, benefits greatly from specialized coatings engineered for coastal and hurricane-prone environments. Facilities in these areas frequently require abrasion-resistant coatings, anti-corrosion systems, and protective membranes designed for extreme weather conditions.
Central Florida—including Orlando, Winter Park, Kissimmee, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Lakeland—contains a wide range of industrial and commercial properties that depend on high-performance coatings. Distribution centers, manufacturing plants, theme-park infrastructure, food-processing facilities, and logistics hubs all require specialty systems such as epoxy floors, USDA-compliant coatings, chemical-resistant finishes, and equipment-specific protective barriers.
In South Florida, where severe humidity, salt exposure, and UV intensity are everyday challenges, cities such as Miami, Hialeah, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach rely on advanced coatings to protect high-rise structures, parking garages, coastal commercial buildings, and industrial complexes. Specialty coatings in these regions help prevent corrosion, reduce concrete spalling, improve fire resistance, and maintain cleanable, hygienic surfaces in high-traffic environments.
A wide variety of businesses and professionals benefit from protective and specialty coating expertise, including:
• Industrial and manufacturing facilities
• Food and beverage processing plants
• Warehouses and distribution centers
• Hospitals, labs, and cleanrooms
• Retail centers and commercial buildings
• Marine and coastal operations
• Chemical plants and utility facilities
• Contractors, facility managers, and engineers
• Parking structures and transportation hubs
From corrosion protection to chemical resistance, fireproofing, and performance-driven specialty finishes, Dulakis Painting delivers coating systems engineered to withstand Florida’s toughest environmental and operational conditions. Our expertise ensures your facility remains protected, compliant, and built for long-term performance.
