## Our Approach to Grinding

Old epoxy, mastic, glue, or paint has to come off before a new finish goes down. We diamond-grind it away, profile the concrete, and contain the dust with HEPA equipment — the prep that makes every finish last.

## The prep behind every finish that lasts

Every coating, polish, or overlay we install starts with diamond grinding. Old epoxy comes off, mastic and glue strip away, paint disappears, and what’s left is bare, properly profiled concrete ready to bond mechanically to whatever finish comes next.

## Why mechanical beats chemical

Chemical strippers leave residue that messes with the new coating bond. Diamond grinding doesn’t — it gives a clean, properly profiled surface (CSP 2 to 3, in industry terms) that any modern finish system needs. It’s also faster and avoids the safety issues of solvents.

## HEPA dust containment as standard

Industrial grinding generates concrete dust. Our planetary grinders run with HEPA vacuums that capture dust at the source, so the work area stays clean and breathable. Critical for garage interiors, commercial spaces, and any job adjacent to occupied rooms.

### What you get

-   ✓ Old coating, glue, and paint removal

What Customers Say

## Austin Customers on Their Finished Concrete

★★★★★

"Our 20-year-old garage slab had peeling DIY epoxy. They ground it all back, fixed the cracks, and the new flake floor still looks showroom-clean through two Texas summers."

David R.

Round Rock

★★★★★

"The pool deck stays cool enough to walk on barefoot in August now, and it's no longer slick. Exactly what we hoped for."

Sarah M.

Lakeway

★★★★★

"Polished our downstairs floors to a soft satin sheen. Easy to clean, and they clearly did the prep right. No shortcuts."

FAQ

## Grinding: Your Questions Answered

Why grind instead of using a chemical stripper? +

Strippers leave residue that interferes with new coating bond. Mechanical grinding gives a clean, properly profiled surface — and it's faster and safer than chemicals.

Will there be dust everywhere? +

Our planetary grinders are tied to HEPA vacuums that capture dust at the source. The work area stays clean and breathable.

What's left behind after grinding? +

Bare, profiled concrete at CSP 2 or 3 (Concrete Surface Profile) — exactly what's needed for a coating, polish, or overlay to bond mechanically.
