Floor Kandy did an outstanding job on my garage floor and front porch. They were prompt, professional and courteous. I highly recommend them to my friends and neighbors and will hire them again when I get my patio covered.

Expert Concrete Grinding and Surface Preparation in Pelham, AL
Concrete grinding and surface preparation is the first step behind every coating, polish, or overlay Floor Kandy Coatings installs in Pelham. We use industrial diamond grinding equipment to flatten uneven slabs, strip old coatings and adhesives, remove stains, and open the concrete's pores so new materials bond correctly. Skipping or rushing this step leads to peeling coatings and premature failure. Pelham's expansive clay soils shift with seasonal wet and dry cycles, which puts stress on slabs and can leave surfaces uneven or contaminated over time. We assess each slab's condition before grinding begins, then work the surface to the profile your chosen finish requires. Cracks and pits are addressed at this stage too, so the slab is clean, flat, and ready. Whether you are preparing a garage floor, a basement, a commercial space, or an outdoor slab, proper surface preparation is what makes the finished floor last. Contact Floor Kandy Coatings to schedule your Pelham surface prep assessment.

FAQ
Concrete Grinding and Surface Preparation FAQ
Common questions about concrete grinding and surface preparation in Pelham, AL.
Yes, grinding is required before any coating is applied to Pelham concrete. Without it, coatings sit on top of contaminants and fail to bond, which leads to peeling.
Surface preparation in Pelham covers grinding, adhesive and old coating removal, crack repair, and profiling the slab for the chosen finish. It is the full process of making concrete ready for treatment, not just one step.
Grinding can flatten moderate high spots and uneven areas on Pelham slabs. Severely raised or damaged sections may need additional repair work before grinding begins.
Yes, diamond grinding removes old coatings, sealers, and adhesive residue from garage floors across Pelham. The slab is then profiled and ready for a fresh coating system.
Grinding produces concrete dust, and Floor Kandy Coatings uses dust collection equipment to control it during every Pelham job. Surrounding areas are protected before work begins.
Pelham's clay soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, which can shift slabs and create surface irregularities over time. Surface preparation corrects these issues before a new finish is applied.
