On-Site Inspection & System Selection

We visit your property to assess the concrete condition, take precise measurements, and help you choose the perfect epoxy system for your needs.

What We Do:

  • Inspect concrete for cracks, moisture, and existing coatings
  • Take accurate measurements for material calculations
  • Show color samples and flake options in your space
  • Provide detailed written quote with timeline and warranty

Surface Preparation

This is the most critical step. Professional surface prep ensures maximum adhesion and a floor that lasts for decades.

The Process:

  • Diamond Grinding: Open concrete pores for mechanical bonding
  • Crack Repair: Fill and seal all cracks to prevent spreading
  • Edge Work: Detailed prep along walls and corners
  • Deep Cleaning: Remove all dust, debris, and contaminants

Pro Tip: Proper prep work is what separates professional installations from DIY failures. We never cut corners here.
