What if Florida’s climate cleaned your property instead of staining it?
Less maintenance. Easier cleaning. Fewer harsh chemicals.
Serving Southwest Florida · Bradenton · Lakewood Ranch · Sarasota · Siesta Key
The climate does not take a week off. The usual plan assumes it will.
Tannin stains, biofilm, pollen film, mildew, salt haze, and that slick feel after rain.
Power washing. Bleach. Acid. Another contractor ticket. Another weekend on the pavers.
Color fades. Grout opens. Odors come back. Wet areas get slippery. The finish wears down.
The same weather that made Florida beautiful puts the stain right back on the surface.
Weekends lost to cleaning instead of living outside.
Repeat work orders on common areas, railings, and wet rooms.
Labor hours and chemical spend that never leave the budget.
Salt film and odor between trips. Less time on the water.
Some customers start with the cleaner. Some start with the coating. The system is the point.
A professional, light-activated coating applied to the surface. Sunlight and visible light keep it working. Organic soils and odors break down between cleanings. Wet surfaces are easier to keep safer underfoot when film and biofilm are reduced.
The companion cleaner you can start with now. Use it on everyday soils. Come back for refills. A household or HOA that trusts the cleaner is already a coating customer in the making.
We apply and support the system here in Southwest Florida. The deeper technology story lives at ticoat.com.
Three simple steps. No harsh chemistry lecture.
Sunlight or indoor visible light activates the photocatalytic coating.
Organic soils and odors are broken down at the surface between cleanings.
Less soil sticks. Routine cleaning gets lighter. Harsh chemicals get used less often.
Different properties. Same climate problem. One system.
Pool decks, lanais, pavers, and exterior walls stay freer of mold, pollen, and stains.
Common areas, railings, and shared wet rooms generate fewer repeat vendor tickets.
High-touch surfaces stay cleaner longer — fewer labor hours and less chemical spend.
Salt film and organic buildup ease off. More time on the water, less time scrubbing.
Indoor wet rooms (home and HOA bathrooms) are a current evaluation focus. We will treat them as limited applications until we have the same documented outdoor-style results.
Documented surfaces. Not a lab brochure.
Watch a time-lapse customer example: Black olive trees (Florida’s “shady ladies”) left heavy coffee-colored stains on a white painted stucco railing. After TiCoat application, sunlight + rain progressively removed the stains with zero scrubbing or chemicals, returning the surface to a like-new look.

After treatment — Surface stays clean with rainfall and an occasional hose-off. No power washing or harsh chemicals required for routine upkeep.

After treatment — Organic buildup is reduced. The railing stays brighter with far less scrubbing.
A limited number of properties become the Performance Archive — real Florida results over months and years, not just installation day.

Homeowner. Entrepreneur. Problem Solver. After more than 30 years in the Enterprise Software industry, Vin was introduced to TiCoat® Surface Protect and became fascinated by its ability to solve everyday property maintenance challenges. When he relocated to Florida, he recognized the state’s climate creates unique maintenance challenges — and launched Florida Surface Protection to help property owners spend less time maintaining and more time enjoying the Florida lifestyle.
Condo owner. Condo Association Board President. Lover of the Florida Life. 30-year business exec who moved full-time to Florida in 2022. What the brochures left out: tannin-stained pavers, mold, algae and mildew, and the never-ending power-wash-scrub-repeat cycle. Vin introduced him to TiCoat. He tested it on their Siesta Key condominium — watching the newly painted white building shed dirt every time it rained and the sun came out changed his mind. Homeowner. Condo board president. Customer. True believer. Now helping neighbors stop fighting the climate and start letting it work for them.
Construction handyman who’s watched more Florida patios and decks go from “looks great” to “stained, slippery, and overdue for another scrub” than he cares to count. When Vin showed him the TiCoat system, Chris didn’t need a sales pitch — he immediately saw the real-world promise for every outdoor surface that fights humidity, tannins, and constant dirt here. If it needs building, fixing, or protecting outside, Chris has already done it. Now he’s putting that same practical know-how to work so Florida properties stay cleaner longer with a lot less elbow grease.
Vin was Christine's first manager after college, working as a Marketing Professional for a high-tech software firm — the ties go deep here. Over the past 12 years, Christine has established herself as an independent Accounting Professional and Office Administrator, working across a range of start-up businesses. She joins the team as our operations and finance executive who keeps the whole operation organized behind the scenes. While the rest of the team is out protecting surfaces, Christine makes sure the schedules, numbers, and details stay tight so nothing slips through the cracks.
