Where do I find a company who applies Kool Deck? My Google search comes up with nothing.

We had kool deck installed as part of the home original build (we had our house custom built), this was in the covered but NOT enclosed lanai area, some of this failed after 3 or 4 years. the failure was to the paint coating and excessive moisture.

Our neighbors had a concrete coating that looks like flag stone installed, looks great and this was done in both the covered and the screened areas. I do not recall the name of the company or product, and they have moved.

As for your door, you should be able to have the door trimmed and a new sweep installed at the bottom as well as a new threshold to accommodate the new height of the floor.

I would also expect the installer to require the existing finish to be sand blasted or ground off, so there is clean concrete to work from.

Good luck with your project.
