Our story
Use innovative building and home improvement products from Black Diamond Coatings to create home and outdoor living spaces that make you proud. Black Diamond Coatings’ commercial grade products are used on the largest projects to the smallest backyard patios. The DOMINATOR and AQUA-X product lines can help you clean, stabilize and seal most surfaces, including concrete, pavers, clay brick, wood, grout and landscapes. We would love for you to Get Educated with us, as you deliver impressive results for your own project or your customer’s project.
Based in Tampa, Florida, Black Diamond Coatings' unique water-based sealers were inspired due to an unmet need for a high-quality alternative to solvent-based products. We offer a product line for use by professional contractors and DIYers who demand excellent products with high performance. Our sealers are very easy to use and are commercial grade. Black Diamond Coatings' products are made in the USA to ensure the highest quality through every step of the manufacturing process. We continue to innovate, producing additional products for a market that desires the very best look and results.
WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT?
Black Diamond Coatings is truly a company "by contractors, for contractors."
It is this extensive knowledge of the building products and outdoor living industries that is one of the key benefits that set Black Diamond Coatings apart from other manufacturers. We understand the challenges that both contractors and homeowners face. Our Customer Care team is available as a resource to ensure our customers get the answers they need to help you be more successful. We invite you to “Get Educated” with us!
SUSTAINABILITY
As a family and veteran-owned company, we strongly believe in giving back to our community. Black Diamond Coatings sponsored the American Cancer Society Relay for Life on Westshore in Tampa, Florida in March 2016.
In December 2015, we donated a truck to a worthy veteran-assistance charity, called Heaven on Earth for Veterans. This non-profit helps veterans get back on their feet by providing them with a home. Throughout the years, we have also donated to the Wounded Warrior Foundation.
DAVID WARREN, PRESIDENT
David Warren, the company founder and president, owned a very successful paver restoration company for ten years. During this time, he sealed millions of square feet of brick, clay and natural stone pavers. Throughout those years, he used many sealers in search of a truly commercial grade sealer that had the look and performance of a quality solvent-based sealer without all of the drawbacks and limitations that are associated with using solvent-based sealers. Once he formulated what is now known as the DOMINATOR SG+, customers confirmed that he had a winner! Black Diamond Coatings was born, and our products have evolved over the years based upon customer demand. We develop and manufacture what is needed in the market.
Prior to these endeavors, David worked in management consulting and for another building products company. David also proudly served in the Marine Corps. Outside of work, you’ll find David happily working with his horses, doing a farm project, or spending time with his family in many of their outdoor activities.
HEATHER WARREN, VICE PRESIDENT
Heather Warren, the company's Vice President, has worked within the building products industry for more than 15 years. Since 2014, Heather has led the marketing and sales for Black Diamond Coatings. The company culture is shaped by Heather's philosophy to not be satisfied by the status quo. Prior to Black Diamond Coatings, Heather worked within a variety of sales, marketing, customer service and consulting roles. You'll find Heather working on a DIY project on many weekends and spending time with her family on their farm.
