Epoxy Floor & Concrete Coating Contractors in Kailua Kona, Hawaii

Kailua-Kona is the main town on the Big Island’s sunny west coast. Alii Drive runs along the waterfront past Hulihee Palace, a former summer home of Hawaiian royalty, and Mokuaikaua Church, the first Christian church built in the islands. Kailua Pier is the start and finish of the Ironman World Championship triathlon, and the slopes above town in Holualoa and beyond make up the Kona coffee belt. Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park and its ancient fishponds lie just north of town.

Lava, Sun and Vog

Kona’s leeward location makes it far drier and sunnier than Hilo, with intense UV most of the year. Many homes are built directly on lava rock, and volcanic dust and vog from Kilauea can settle on outdoor surfaces. Salt air near the coast adds corrosion risk. Upslope neighborhoods catch afternoon clouds and showers, which can keep slabs damper than those along the shoreline.

• Lanais and pool decks with UV-stable, cool-to-the-touch finishes
• Garages and carports exposed to sun, dust and salt air
• Restaurants, shops and resort spaces along Alii Drive and the coast
• Coffee farm buildings and processing areas upslope

In Kona’s sun, standard epoxy will yellow and chalk outdoors, so polyaspartic or aliphatic topcoats are the norm. Textured finishes reduce slips around pools, and lighter colors help keep surfaces cooler under bare feet. For coffee processing areas, seamless, washable floors make cleanup easier. Since shipping materials to the island adds cost, it pays to compare options. Review the contractors listed for Kailua-Kona and request a few quotes.
