About Concrete Polish and Epoxy Ohio

A crew of floor technicians from Concrete Polish and Epoxy Ohio, the company you hired. They bring the grinders, vacuums and coating materials, and they'll walk you through the plan for the day before they start. You'll know who to talk to if a question comes up.

Coatings and polish both need clean, open concrete. Diamond grinding removes the weak top layer, old sealers and stains, and leaves a profile a coating can grab onto. Skipping it is the main reason store-bought kits peel. It also flattens high spots and exposes cracks that need repair.

Most failures come down to prep, moisture or a coating that's too thin. Every slab here is ground, repaired and checked for moisture before anything is applied, and the system is built in multiple layers with a proper topcoat. If we think a floor isn't a good candidate, we'll say so.

Before work starts you get the plan: prep day, coating days, and when you can walk and drive on the floor. The crew lead checks in when they arrive and before they leave. If weather or a repair changes the timing, you'll hear about it right away.

The work area is kept closed off while grinding and coating are happening. We'll ask you to keep kids and pets out of the garage or room until the floor is cured enough to walk on. The crew will tell you when that is.

It starts with the slab and how you use it. We look at condition, moisture, traffic, chemicals, sunlight and the look you want. A garage with salt and hot tires needs a different system than a showroom or a commercial kitchen, and the written quote names the system we recommend.

On interior slabs, yes. Basements and older homes especially can push moisture up through the concrete, and that can lift a coating from below. Testing tells us whether a standard primer works or a moisture-tolerant one is needed. Active leaks need fixing first, and we'll tell you if that's the case.

Grinding is done with industrial equipment hooked up to dust collection, so most of the dust is pulled away right at the grinder. Doors to the house stay shut, and the crew cleans up before leaving each day. You may notice some noise, but dust shouldn't be spreading through your home.

We work out access, parking, elevator use and lock-up with your building manager before the job. After-hours crews follow your rules for entry and alarm codes, and the space is cleaned and left ready for your staff the next morning. Any questions go through one point of contact.

Color, flake blend or gloss level gets settled before the job, often with samples. During the work the crew checks edges, transitions and coverage as they go. At the end we walk the floor with you, so anything you're not happy with gets addressed before we leave.
