We diagnose the failure, grind the floor back to sound concrete, and recoat with an industrial system that bonds for good. Correction is one of our specialties. ![Peeling Epoxy Floor Repair detail](/images/misc/diagnosis-detail-of-peeling-epoxy-with-hot-tire-pi.webp) ## Almost always a prep failure Epoxy failures come in three flavors: peeling at the edges, bubbling/blistering across the floor, and hot-tire pickup that lifts the coating wherever the car parks. All three have the same root cause — prep was skipped. The right fix is to grind everything back and recoat with a system that bonds for real. ## Diagnose, then grind We start by figuring out what failed: moisture rising through the slab, surface contamination, hot-tire pickup, DIY kit, or a contractor who skipped grinding. Then we diamond-grind the floor back to sound concrete, address moisture if needed, and install an industrial flake-epoxy or polyaspartic system that bonds mechanically. ## Restoration is one of our specialties We’ve been doing this 21 years and a real share of jobs are correcting work other contractors got wrong. We’re not interested in finger-pointing — we’re interested in giving you a floor that holds up.

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." Elena G. West Lake Hills FAQ ## Epoxy Repair: Your Questions Answered Can my failed epoxy be patched? + Almost never. A patch will lift again. The right fix is to grind the whole floor back to sound concrete and recoat with a system that's properly bonded. Why does new DIY epoxy peel so often? + DIY kits skip diamond grinding in favor of an acid etch that doesn't really profile the slab. Without a real surface profile, the coating has nothing to mechanically grab — and Texas heat and hot tires finish it off. Will the new coating fail too? + Not with proper prep. Our industrial recoats bond mechanically and survive 10+ years in normal residential use. We back our work. ## Related Services ### Coating Removal & Concrete Grinding Industrial coating removal and diamond grinding to prep concrete for a new finish.
