Coatings and Adhesive Removal Service

Coatings and adhesive removal is the step that gets a floor back to bare, clean concrete by stripping off old paint, failed epoxy, glue, mastic, carpet backing, and tile adhesive that's been stuck down for years. Skip this and any new floor you put down is just sitting on top of someone else's problem. For homes, this comes up most when you pull up old carpet or tile and find a layer of dried glue or black mastic underneath that won't scrape off by hand. If your basement or garage has flaking floor paint or an old coating that's bubbling and peeling, we take it all the way down so your new resin floor bonds to solid concrete instead of lifting later. It's also the fix when a past DIY coating job failed and left you with a patchy, half-stuck mess that needs to come off before anything new goes down. The right method depends on what's on the floor, so we match the equipment to the material rather than grinding away blindly and gouging the slab.

For businesses, old coatings and adhesives are usually what's standing between you and a floor that lasts. Retail spaces and offices often have decades of tile glue layered on the concrete, and warehouses or shops carry worn-out coatings that are already peeling under traffic. Pulling these off properly matters because any new system is only as good as the surface under it, and coating over old adhesive is a guaranteed callback. We handle large floor areas where hand-scraping isn't realistic, using grinders and shot blasters sized to clear the space fast and keep your downtime short. If you're renovating a unit or turning over a lease, getting the floor stripped clean also makes the next coating or finish go down right the first time.
