Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation

Coatings And adhesive Removals

01
Leave The Grind To Us

With every coating solution, the most integral piece of every application is surface preparation by way of concrete resurfacing.

This includes the detailed removal of damaged and/or deteriorated parts of the substrate concrete and any previously applied coatings, ensuring a fortified bond to the clean substrate.

Why Your Spaces Need Our Solutions

As with every coating solution, the most integral piece of every application is surface preparation by way of concrete resurfacing. This includes the detailed removal of damaged and/or deteriorated parts of the substrate concrete and any previously applied coatings, ensuring a fortified bond to the clean substrate, and the success and extended lifespan of every flooring solution thereafter.

Uneven Surfaces

Grinding levels out bumps, ridges, and other irregularities, creating a smooth surface for flooring installation.

Glue & Adhesive Removal

Effectively remove old adhesives, coatings, and materials from the surface, ensuring proper bonding for new finishes.

Moisture Issues

Eliminate moisture traps and prepares surfaces for moisture mitigation products, reducing the risk of damage.

Slippery Surfaces

Improve traction on smooth, polished concrete by creating a more textured surface, enhancing safety.

Limit Downtime

The grinding process is generally quick, minimizing downtime for businesses or projects.Revives worn or damaged concrete floors, making them look new again and extending their lifespan.

03

Why Your Floors Will Thank You

Our ability to grind concrete and prepare surfaces with very low dust emissions is a function of our high-tech dust-collection systems, complete with hepa-filtration. Our team will remove any existing floor coating including VCT, vinyl, ceramic tile, and quickly have you ready for a new flooring application or polish.

Surface Profile Enhancement

Prepares the concrete surface with an optimal profile for improved adhesion of coatings, overlays, or sealants.

Eco-Friendly

Produces minimal waste compared to other methods of surface removal, contributing to sustainability efforts.

Aesthetic Improvements

Provides a polished finish, enhancing the overall appearance of the concrete and making it suitable for visible areas.

Restores Worn Surfaces

Revives worn or damaged concrete floors, making them look new again and extending their lifespan.

Benefits of Concrete Grinding

Levels Uneven Surfaces

Grinding removes high spots, waves, lippage, and trip hazards, producing a uniform substrate for coatings or new flooring.

Improved Surface Profile

A properly profiled surface ensures strong adhesion for epoxy, urethane, tile, or other finishes.

Enhanced Durability

Removing weak or deteriorated concrete and contaminants, grinding increases the lifespan of any subsequent flooring system.

Aesthetics

Smoother, cleaner concrete improves the appearance of polished floors or prepares the slab for decorative finishes.

Efficiency

Modern HEPA‑filtered grinding systems minimize dust and speed up surface preparation.

Safety

Mechanical removal avoids solvent residue and is the preferred method for thick, widespread, or hardened adhesives.

Prevention

Old adhesives can trap moisture; removing them reduces the risk of mold growth and lingering smells.

The AppliedeX Advantage

Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation Process

1

Assess & Prepare

Inspect the concrete for coatings, adhesives, high spots, cracks, and contamination so you understand what the surface requires. This step also includes testing slab hardness, clearing debris, and marking areas that need focused grinding.

2

Grind & Remove Adhesives/Coatings

We mechanically cut the surface using the appropriate metal‑bond diamonds to remove glue, paint, mastics, and weak concrete. Edges and tight areas are addressed, and additional passes are made until clean, sound concrete is exposed.

3

Refine, Clean & Verify Profile

We refine the surface with finer tooling to achieve the correct CSP profile for the flooring system being installed. The slab is then vacuumed, inspected, and confirmed to be clean, dry, and bond‑ready for coatings or new flooring.
