Topcoat serves seafood processors, commercial kitchens, caterers and commercial facilities in Boston and Greater Boston with urethane cement, epoxy, MMA and mechanically polished concrete.
Serving Boston and Greater Boston
Topcoat Services, based in Hyannis, serves food processing, commercial kitchen, retail, office and industrial facilities in Boston and Greater Boston. Much of our Boston work is urethane cement in wet, cold and washdown areas, planned around how the space operates and when it must reopen.
To start, send the address, approximate area, photos, how the space is used and cleaned, and the date it must reopen. We assess the slab and recommend a system.

What Shapes the Recommendation
Washdowns and drains
Slope to drains, trench drain edges, cove base and curbs are planned as part of the floor.
Coolers and freezers
Cold rooms and the doorways between temperatures need detailing at curbs and transitions.
Carts and pallet jacks
Rolling loads affect joint repairs, edges at drains and the choice of system.
Reopening date
We plan the sequence and cure time around when the kitchen or plant must return to service.
Preparation and Installation
What to Send First

Boston Flooring FAQs
Does Topcoat serve commercial flooring projects in Boston?
Yes. We serve Boston and Greater Boston from our base in Hyannis. Boston work includes urethane cement floors for Rocky Neck Fish on the Boston Fish Pier, Commonwealth Kitchen in Dorchester and Max Caterers in Dorchester. Send the address, area and photos to arrange an assessment.
Which floor suits a seafood or food processing room?
Wet, cold and washdown rooms often suit urethane cement, detailed with cove base, curbs and edges at the drains. At Rocky Neck Fish we installed urethane cement with an aliphatic urethane topcoat. We review temperatures, cleaning and traffic before recommending a build.
Can you fix a kitchen floor that does not drain?
Often, yes. At Commonwealth Kitchen in Dorchester, our crew set screeds to create a level oven landing and pitch the rest of the floor to the drain, then installed Polycrete SLB urethane cement. Whether a slope can be corrected depends on the existing floor and drain locations.
Can work be phased around kitchen or plant operations?
Often, yes. We divide the floor into work zones, plan access, equipment moves and ventilation, and schedule each zone around the cure time the system needs. The plan is agreed with your team before work starts and depends on the selected system.
What affects the price of a commercial kitchen or processing floor?
The area, the slab condition, the coating that must come off, slope and drain work, cove base and curbs, the selected system, access, phasing and the reopening date. A site assessment lets us price the actual conditions rather than a general rate.
