Surface Preparation
Mechanical profiling that opens the concrete so coatings bond to the slab, not just the surface.
- Before any coating system
- Over old or failing coatings
- On sealed or contaminated slabs
Concrete Preparation & Repair
The technical work that makes a coating last — and the repair and maintenance services that keep existing floors in service.
Diamond Grinding
Diamond tooling creates the correct surface profile and removes surface contaminants.
- Profiling bare concrete
- Smoothing high spots
- Prepping for coatings
Shot Blasting
Steel-shot blasting profiles large areas quickly and evenly for high-build systems.
- Large industrial floors
- Aggressive profiling
- High-build coatings
Glue & Coating Removal
Removal of failing coatings, glues, and mastics to reach a sound, coatable surface.
- Failing existing coatings
- Adhesive and mastic removal
- Renovation projects
Concrete Moisture Mitigation
Systems that control concrete moisture vapor so new coatings bond and last.
- High-moisture slabs
- On- and below-grade concrete
- New concrete
Concrete Crack Repair
Structural and cosmetic repair of cracks and control joints before coating.
- Cracked or spalled slabs
- Control joint damage
- Pre-coating repair
Floor Demolition
Removal of old flooring, toppings, and coatings to prepare for a new system.
- Full floor replacement
- Removing old toppings
- Renovation prep
Floor Restoration
Repair and re-coating that brings worn or damaged floors back to service.
- Worn or damaged floors
- Extending floor life
- Refreshing appearance
Protective Coatings
Chemical-, abrasion-, and moisture-resistant coatings that protect concrete assets.
- Chemical exposure areas
- High-wear surfaces
- Asset protection
Industrial Floor Maintenance
Scheduled cleaning, repair, and re-coating programs that extend floor life.
- Ongoing facility upkeep
- Extending coating life
- Preventive maintenance
Why It Matters
A coating is only as good as the prep beneath it
Most coating failures trace back to preparation, not the coating itself. Mechanical profiling, moisture control, and sound repairs are what let a system bond and stay bonded for years.
- Proper profile so coatings bond to the slab, not the surface
- Moisture mitigation to prevent delamination and bubbling
- Sound crack and joint repair for a uniform finished floor
- Clean, contaminant-free surface for maximum adhesion
FAQ
Concrete preparation & repair: common questions
Surface preparation is the foundation of every successful flooring installation. We use professional diamond grinding equipment to achieve the proper Concrete Surface Profile (CSP), helping coatings bond correctly and improving long-term performance.
Yes. When appropriate, we evaluate concrete moisture conditions and recommend moisture mitigation systems when needed to help reduce the risk of coating failures caused by excessive moisture.
A Moisture Vapor Barrier is a specialized epoxy system designed to reduce moisture vapor transmission through concrete slabs. It is commonly recommended before installing epoxy flooring, LVT, carpet tile, and other floor finishes over slabs with elevated moisture.
Yes. We repair cracks, spalls, surface imperfections, and deteriorated concrete before installing the flooring system to create a sound substrate.
