About FlorDek Coatings, LLC in Harris, MN

Two Decades of Concrete Coating Experience Across the Twin Cities

FlorDEK Coatings LLC is a family-owned concrete coating company serving Harris, St. Paul, White Bear Lake, Roseville, Minneapolis, Andover, Centerville, Woodbury, Maplewood, Forest Lake and surrounding areas throughout the Twin Cities metro. Founded in 2005 by Steve Studer and his father Chuck, the company was built on more than 10–15 years of prior industry experience in manufacturing and large-scale technical installation work—experience that gave them deep understanding of material science, surface dynamics, and what it takes to make coatings perform long-term.



For 20 years, FlorDEK has operated on a foundation of product knowledge, proper surface preparation, and craftsmanship. You won't find shortcuts here—every project follows technical specifications, and surface prep is never compromised to save time or cost. That approach is backed by a limited lifetime warranty on labor, a reflection of the confidence the team has in their execution and the systems they install.

The company's structure is intentional: family-owned and operated with low overhead and a selective project focus. FlorDEK prioritizes quality execution and customer relationships over volume, which means you work directly with people who know the systems they're installing and have a personal stake in the outcome. This isn't a sales-driven operation—it's a technical one, built on understanding how concrete behaves, how coatings bond, and what preparation steps can't be skipped.

The team knows concrete coating systems inside and out—from material chemistry to equipment calibration to installation technique. That knowledge translates into jobs completed right the first time and customers who refer friends and family because they've seen the results hold up.

What sets FlorDEK apart isn't just years in business—it's the depth of understanding that comes from manufacturing and large-scale technical installation backgrounds. Steve and Chuck didn't start in residential coating; they came from environments where material performance, surface adhesion, and installation precision were measured and tested. That experience shaped how FlorDEK approaches every project today.



Minnesota's climate puts concrete through freeze-thaw cycles, moisture penetration, and temperature swings that can compromise poorly bonded coatings. FlorDEK's process accounts for these stressors—surface preparation removes contaminants and creates the profile needed for mechanical bond, moisture testing identifies potential adhesion issues before application, and installation follows manufacturer specifications to ensure curing happens under the right conditions.

The limited lifetime warranty on labor isn't a marketing tool—it's a byproduct of doing the work correctly from the start. When prep is thorough and installation follows technical guidelines, coatings perform as designed. FlorDEK stands behind that process because they've seen it work over two decades and thousands of applications across the Twin Cities metro.
