Before we coat,we fix.
Cracks, spalling, pitting, edge damage — we diagnose and repair your concrete substrate so the finished coating bonds properly and lasts for decades, not months. Proper prep is the foundation of every job we do.
Surface prep is the most important step.
We diamond-grind every floor and repair every crack and damaged area before applying any coating. It isn’t optional for us — it’s the standard that defines a floor that lasts.
- 01
Prep over product
The number one reason floor coatings fail isn't the product — it's the preparation. A coating applied over a weak, contaminated, or damaged surface delaminates no matter how good the product is.
- 02
We grind every floor
Diamond grinding on every job removes laitance, opens the pores, and creates the correct surface profile (CSP) for maximum coating adhesion. It is the difference between a 2-year floor and a 20-year floor.
- 03
Right method per damage
Every damage type has a right repair method. Hairline cracks, structural cracks, spalls, edges, and pitting each get the matched fix — polyurea injection, structural mortar, or a rebuilt profile.
- 04
Standalone or pre-coat
You don't have to coat to get repairs done. We handle concrete restoration as a standalone service for driveways, garage floors, basement slabs, and commercial floors.
Damage we repair.
Every damage type has a right repair method. We match the method to the cause.
- 01
Shrinkage cracks
Hairline and narrow cracks formed during initial concrete curing. Filled with semi-rigid polyurea for a flexible, permanent repair that moves with the slab.
- 02
Wide-gap & structural cracks
Cracks wider than 1/8" or caused by settlement and movement. Ground out, filled with structural polyurea or cementitious mortar, and monitored for activity before coating.
- 03
Spalling & surface pop-outs
Caused by freeze-thaw cycles, deicing salts, or weak surface concrete. Profiled with a grinder or scarifier and patched with cementitious repair mortar feathered to the surrounding surface.
- 04
Edge & threshold damage
Garage door thresholds and slab perimeters take significant abuse. We rebuild damaged edges to their original profile before the coating system is applied.
- 05
Pitting & deterioration
Aggregate exposure, pitting, and surface laitance are removed via diamond grinding to reveal fresh, sound concrete ready for coating adhesion.
- 06
Existing coating removal
Old paint, epoxy, or sealer must be fully removed before a new polyaspartic system is applied. We strip existing coatings completely with mechanical grinding.
Honest assessment, right method.
Identify the cause, repair to the root, profile for adhesion — in that order.
- 01
Damage assessment
We inspect the full slab — cracks mapped, spalls measured, edges evaluated — and identify the cause (settlement, freeze-thaw, impact, shrinkage) so the repair addresses the root, not just the symptom.
- 02
Repair & restoration
Cracks are ground out, injected, and filled. Spalls and pop-outs are profiled and patched with repair mortar. Damaged edges and thresholds are rebuilt to their original profile.
- 03
Surface profile
The full slab is diamond-ground to the correct surface profile for the intended coating system — removing laitance, opening the pores, and ensuring maximum adhesion.
Before, during & after.
Every repair starts with an honest assessment and ends with a surface ready for decades of use.
Concrete repair questions.
Can you repair concrete cracks before coating?
Yes — in fact it is required. We repair all cracks before applying any coating. Methods vary by crack type: shrinkage cracks are filled with semi-rigid polyurea, while moving or structural cracks may require structural mortar and monitoring before the coating goes down.
Can badly damaged concrete be saved, or does it need to be replaced?
Most damaged concrete can be restored to a coatable condition without replacement. The threshold is structural integrity — if the slab has heaved significantly, is actively sinking, or has deep structural failure, replacement may be warranted. We tell you honestly at the assessment.
How do you fix a garage floor that's flaking or spalling?
Spalling (surface delamination) is addressed by profiling the damaged area with a grinder or scarifier, then filling with a cementitious repair mortar. The repair is feathered to match the surrounding surface level and allowed to cure before the floor is coated.
Do you offer concrete repair without a full floor coating?
Yes. Concrete repair is available as a standalone service for driveways, garage floors, basement slabs, and commercial floors. We assess the damage and provide a repair-only quote at no charge.
