Complete Surface Solutions
We Don't Just Prepare Surfaces.
We Deliver Complete Restoration Systems.
ONE CONTRACTOR.
Surface preparation and protective coatings — one operation, one team.
ONE PLAN.
Evaluated and scoped from first assessment to final coat.
ONE POINT OF ACCOUNTABILITY.
We are accountable for every phase of the work we are contracted to perform.
The right preparation method depends on the substrate, the existing failure, and the protective system that follows. We do not force every project into the same process.
Talk With a Surface SpecialistWho We Are
Built on the Belief That
Prep Is Everything.
Legacy Surface Prep is a female-owned, Florida-based surface preparation and protective coatings contractor headquartered in Ocala. We operate from our appointment-only facility and with fully mobile equipment throughout Florida — bringing the right method and system to every project.
We built this company around one principle: every lasting result starts beneath the surface. We evaluate the substrate, identify the failure, select the correct preparation method — whether that means dustless blasting, soda blasting, media blasting, or another approach — and when required, carry the project through to final protective coatings. Preparation is not optional. It is the work.

What Clients Say
Results That Speak for Themselves
“Legacy blasted my 40-foot horse trailer down to bare metal — years of rust and old paint gone in a single visit. They came out to the farm and handled everything. Professional start to finish.”
Mike R.
Marion County, FL
“We brought Legacy in to strip decades of paint off a historic brick building. They removed every layer without touching the original brick. The restoration turned out incredible.”
Sarah T.
Tampa, FL
“Used Legacy for our boat hull and the prep work was the best we've seen. The antifouling coat bonded perfectly and held through the entire season. Genuine craftsmen.”
