Surface Preparation Questions

What Is Concrete Surface Preparation?

Surface prep is the removal of existing flooring (carpet, tile, laminate), coatings, glue, etc. Additionally, it includes the profiling of concrete through the use of ride-on scraper, shot blaster, and/or diamond grinders. When a floor needs to be sealed, coated or polished, it first needs to be prepped or the coating will be uneven or have a floor failure. If tile, wood or other applications are on the floor, taking up those applications are also part of the surface preparation process. We use our machines to remove everything on top of the floor and bring the floor back to it’s original state. The goal of surface preparation is to have a smooth surface that is porous and will accept a new coating application. This allows the surface to be upgraded to a decorative finish with polymers or epoxy coatings. If you have more questions about our floor preparation process, you can visit our FAQ’s.

What machines do you use for floor preparation?

In certain applications, the Ride-On Scraper is the most effective tool to quickly and efficiently remove existing flooring. Diamond grinders remove coatings, adhesives, residue, and surface stains from the concrete while providing a profile. Shot blasting is one of the more aggressive methods used to profile concrete.

We use a Propane Ride-On Floor Scraper as well as 32 and 22 inch concrete grinder with diamond blades. We have the ability to prepare very large surfaces at affordable costs. for more information about our equipment, you can see our equipment rentals page.

Is Surface Preparation Dusty?

Surface Preparation tasks can be done virtually dustless through the use of attached vacuums with HEPA filters.

Will surface preparation leave my floor with bumps and cracks?

For proper bonding of new flooring or coatings, it’s important that the surface has the correct profile. A concrete profile is a measure of the texture of the concrete, based on a scale of 1(very smooth) to 9 (very rough). The profile needed will be determined by the type of service the floor is subjected to and the flooring being installed. You can also refer to our latest blog on concrete demo and prep for more information.

See what others are saying about us.

Most recently JDL completed a Statewide Save A Lot meat complex renovation with us. They were there when they said thy would be, did excellent work, cleaned up after themselves and maintained a professional manner throughout the entire project.

I have personally managed thousands of projects cross country in the retail industry and know how hard it is to find a subcontractor that can stand behind their word, product and performance, JDL Surface Innovations and their crews have impressed me and my clients over and over again.

JDL worked weekends and some late nights to keep on schedule which they did and never complained. Your onsite staff was very courteous and easy to work with. The punch list had touch up the epoxy floor were someone had mistakenly walked through it before it was dry and JDL came back and touched up the floors with no questions asked.

We would certainly look to JDL again for the above described floor needs in the future.

JDL has worked with us on several projects and recently completed the Bokamper’s Sports Bar & Grill in Estero, Florida. The epoxy flooring work they performed on this project has received numerous compliments from both the patrons and owners of the business.
