The Foundation of Every Successful Flooring System
Proper surface preparation is the most critical step in achieving durable, high-performance floors. At ArmaCrete, we use advanced mechanical equipment and proven techniques to remove coatings, level imperfections, and prepare your concrete for new installations.
​
Our certified technicians evaluate slab conditions—including hardness and contaminants—to determine the best prep method for your flooring system. Whether you’re installing epoxy coatings, polished concrete, or decorative overlays, we make sure your surface is clean, sound, and properly profiled for maximum adhesion and long-term results.

Surface Prep Methods
Concrete Grinding
Removes surface contaminants and smooths uneven slabs using diamond tooling—ideal for coating or polish prep.
​
Shot Blasting
Creates heavy textured profiles (CSP 3-6) commonly used in epoxy mortar, self-leveling overlays, and thick mil coating systems.​
​
Scarifying & Milling
Removes thicker coatings or surface layers and corrects deeper imperfections in the concrete.
​
Crack, Spall & Joint Repair
Restores damaged concrete with epoxy or polyurea repair products to achieve a seamless surface.
Moisture Mitigation
Install moisture mitigation systems to help prevent coating failures attributed to moisture vapor transmission (MVT).
