Commercial Elastomeric Coating in Jupiter
Jupiter's 35, 41 year old commercial buildings are inside the milestone inspection window. Coastal facades (US-1/Harbourside Place) suffer aggressive salt-air chloride loading from the Inlet/Loxahatchee River, quickly corroding metal lath once coating cracks.

What Is Commercial Elastomeric Coating?
Commercial elastomeric coating blocks moisture and bridges cracks on stucco/masonry. In Jupiter, failure differs by location: coastal facades (US-1/Intracoastal) fail from UV degradation, allowing salt-laden moisture to penetrate cracks, corrode metal lath, and fracture stucco, creating falling hazards/liabilities. Inland facades (Abacoa/Indiantown Road) fail primarily due to thermal cycling (extreme heat/thunderstorms). Both failure types result in Phase 1 milestone inspection deficiencies requiring documented remediation.{.mark}
Building facade elastomeric coating
Protective waterproof membrane on commercial stucco and masonry envelopes across Jupiter's Indiantown Road office corridor, US-1 Intracoastal corridor, A1A coastal commercial strip, Abacoa Town Center, and Jupiter Park of Commerce
EIFS topcoat restoration
Elastomeric finish coat repair and renewal on Exterior Insulation and Finish System facades on Jupiter's 1980s-1990s commercial office buildings where EIFS cladding was specified
Post-repair protective coating
Elastomeric topcoat applied after commercial stucco crack repair or delamination repair, completing the restoration scope with a continuous waterproof membrane
Parking structure and stairwell coating
Protective elastomeric and penetrating sealer application on parking structure facades and stairwell elements at Jupiter's mixed-use and commercial office developments
Penetrating silane and siloxane sealers
For commercial masonry and concrete surfaces where a film-forming coating is not appropriate for the substrate condition
Why Act Now: The Case for Jupiter Building Owners
Costs significantly less than full facade stucco removal and re-application driven by salt-air lath corrosion or thermal cracking that a maintained protective coating program would have prevented
Most of Jupiter's Indiantown Road and US-1 commercial building stock from the 1980s sits within 3 miles of the Jupiter Inlet, triggering Florida's 25-year milestone inspection threshold; these buildings are now 35 to 41 years old and inside their second inspection cycle; degraded facade coating is among the conditions cited in Phase 1 engineer reports
Addresses the coating failure at its source, salt-air chloride penetration on US-1 and Intracoastal facades near the Loxahatchee River, thermal cycling on inland Abacoa and Jupiter Park of Commerce elevations, not just the visible surface blister or chalk
Protects against the falling hazard liability that spalling stucco above occupied restaurant frontage, marina-front retail walkways at Harbourside Place, and public building entrances creates when a protective coating has been allowed to fail
Completed with a phased program that keeps the building fully operational and minimizes disruption to the high-profile tenants that Jupiter's Intracoastal and Indiantown Road commercial buildings depend on
Backed by a written workmanship warranty with full documentation for building records and milestone inspection compliance submission to the Town of Jupiter Building Department

The Honest Answer
Restoration Vs Replacement
Some contractors push replacement because it generates a larger contract. We do not. Here is the head-to-head.
Restoration
What we recommend in the majority of cases we assess in Jupiter.
Replacement
When the substrate is gone or the structure is past saving.
We give you a straight answer after the assessment, not after looking at the size of the contract.

Frequently Asked
Jupiter Elastomeric Coating FAQ
The questions Jupiter owners ask most. Tap any to expand.
Jupiter juts further into the Atlantic Ocean than any other point on the Florida coast, and the Loxahatchee River carries brackish tidal water inland past the Intracoastal. Commercial facades on US-1, the Intracoastal corridor, and Harbourside Place on the Riverwalk face multi-directional salt-air chloride loading from both oceanic and estuarine sources simultaneously. When an elastomeric coating film degrades and a crack opens on a Harbourside Place commercial facade, brackish moisture from the Loxahatchee River can reach the metal lath within the first tidal season, not just during afternoon thunderstorms. This compresses the timeline from surface crack to active lath corrosion and delamination more aggressively than at any other commercial location in Palm Beach County's service area. Primer specification, mil thickness, and surface preparation are more consequential on these elevations than anywhere else in the town.
Florida's milestone inspection statute (FS 553.899) requires buildings 3 stories or higher with more than 3,500 sq ft to undergo structural inspection at 25 years if within 3 miles of the coastline, and at 30 years for inland properties. Most of Jupiter's Indiantown Road and US-1 commercial building stock from the 1984-1989 development period sits within 3 miles of the Jupiter Inlet, which triggers the 25-year threshold. Buildings now 35-41 years old are inside their second inspection cycle. The Town of Jupiter Building Department administers inspection submissions. Facade coating failure, exposed substrate, and spalling stucco above occupied areas are among the conditions cited in Phase 1 engineer reports and require documented remediation before inspection clearance is issued.
A correctly specified and applied high-build acrylic elastomeric system delivers 10 to 15 years of effective performance on a Jupiter commercial stucco or CBS block facade. Intracoastal-adjacent and Loxahatchee River-facing commercial facades at Harbourside Place and the US-1 corridor may reach the lower end of that range if the coating was under-specified in mil thickness or if the primer was not correctly matched to the brackish salt-air exposure class. Inland Abacoa and Jupiter Park of Commerce buildings with thermal cycling as the primary driver tend toward the upper end when the specification is correct. Ceramic-blend premium systems rated for 15+ year service life are specified where the longest possible interval between maintenance and inspection cycles is the governing requirement.
Yes. Harbourside Place operates as a high-footfall waterfront dining, retail, and entertainment destination throughout the year. Anthony Pennacchi & Sons plans and executes commercial coating programs with phased access from the outset, confirming tenant operating hours, entrance and walkway access requirements, and any outdoor seating or marina dock access restrictions before any work begins. Preparation and coating work is scheduled by elevation and by working phase to maintain uninterrupted access for tenants and their customers throughout the project. On Riverwalk-adjacent facades where public access cannot be interrupted, scaffolding and access planning are coordinated with building management and Town of Jupiter requirements before work commences.
Yes. Florida law requires a licensed contractor for commercial elastomeric coating and facade restoration work. Under Florida's milestone inspection statute, contractor licensing is a basic compliance requirement, work performed by an unlicensed contractor does not satisfy the documentation that the Town of Jupiter Building Department and the engineer of record require for Phase 1 deficiency closure and inspection clearance. Anthony Pennacchi & Sons holds current Florida contractor license CGC1538576 and carries full commercial insurance on every scope we deliver.
Call Anthony Pennacchi & Sons at (561) 475-0775 or use the contact form at pennacchiindustries.com. We schedule an on-site assessment at your Jupiter commercial property, inspect all facade elevations, assess coating condition and film adhesion with exposure class identified for each elevation, review any existing milestone inspection deficiency reports, and deliver a written fixed-price proposal with the documentation format required by the Town of Jupiter Building Department. There is no obligation to proceed.
