Out with the old, ready for the new.
Old paint, epoxy, mastics and sealers are ground, scraped or shot off so the slab is clean and ready for a fresh system.
- Methods: Diamond grinding, scraping and shot blasting
- Dust control: Extraction and containment
- Testing: Slab checked after removal
What it is, and why it matters.
New coatings cannot bond to failing old ones. Peeling epoxy, painted floors, adhesive residues and sealers all have to come off first. Removal is hard work, and the right method depends on what is on the floor and how well it is stuck.
We remove coatings in Nashville and across Tennessee using diamond grinding, scrapers and shot blasting with dust control. We identify the coating, test the slab underneath, remove the old layers and repair what we find. Then the new system goes on a sound, clean surface.

Coating Removal and Stripping: common questions
How long does removal take?
A typical garage takes a day or less, and larger or older floors take longer. We estimate after seeing the coating.

Some very old adhesives can contain hazardous materials, and testing is recommended before removal on older buildings.
