SolidCoat Flooring Inc.
Concrete Repair & Prep

Concrete Repair & Preparation

The foundation of every coating system we install — diamond grinding, crack repair, and moisture mitigation, done right before a single drop of coating goes down. Available as its own service if that's all you need.

What's Included

Built for the way you'll use it.

Diamond Grinding

Opens the concrete's pore structure for real mechanical bonding — not a coating that just sits on top.

Crack & Spall Repair

Structural repair of cracks, pitting, and spalled or damaged concrete before anything gets coated.

Moisture Testing & Mitigation

Identifies and addresses the moisture issues responsible for most coating failures.

Surface Leveling

Corrects low spots and uneven areas for a consistent, professional finished floor.

Joint & Control Line Treatment

Proper handling of expansion joints and control lines so they don't telegraph through later.

Old Coating Removal

Full removal of failed paint, epoxy, or sealer before re-coating.

Why We Never Skip This

The step that determines whether a floor lasts.

Nearly every epoxy failure we're called out to fix traces back to the same root cause: the concrete wasn't properly prepared before coating. A coating applied over an unground, untested, or damaged slab is only ever as good as what it's sitting on.

That's why concrete prep isn't an upsell for us — it's the default first step on every project, and available on its own if you just need the concrete itself repaired and prepped without a coating on top.

Ideal for:

  • ✓ Any concrete floor before coating
  • ✓ Older concrete with visible damage or wear
  • ✓ Floors with a history of coating failures
  • ✓ New construction needing proper prep before its first coating
Common Questions

Questions about this service.

Can I hire you for concrete repair without a coating afterward?

Yes — concrete grinding, crack repair, and moisture mitigation are available as standalone services.

How do you test for moisture?

We use standard moisture testing methods appropriate to the slab and location, assessed during your free visit, to determine whether mitigation is needed before coating.

Can you remove an old failed coating before applying a new one?

Yes — removing failed paint, epoxy, or sealer is a standard part of prep when re-coating an existing floor.
