Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal in Poinciana FL - a bare slab ready for the next floor
Old epoxy peeling, or a slab that's cracked past saving? We take the coating or the concrete off and leave a clean base for what's next.
Stripping a coating or removing the slab?Two different jobs in Poinciana
Most calls start with a coating that's peeling, yellowed or lifting in patches, or with a slab that's cracked and sunk past fixing. Concrete floor stripping and removal in Poinciana covers both, but taking an old coating off and tearing out a slab are two different jobs, and we treat them that way from the first look.
For stripping, the method sets most of the price and the schedule. Grinding costs more up front but goes faster. A chemical stripper costs less but takes longer and more hands. The size of the room and what's on the floor matter too, so I'll walk you through both for your room, and the quote I write after seeing it gives you your own number.
Tearing out a slab is heavier work. It usually means a skid steer, a breaker and dumpsters, so plan on keeping the driveway clear. When we're only stripping, we finish by cleaning up and prepping the concrete for whatever goes down next, often a new epoxy floor coating.
You'll get a straight answer on whether your floor needs stripping or tearing out, so give us a call at (863) 366-5021.
Concrete floor stripping and removal methods
We match the method to the floor in front of us, based on the coating that's on it, how big the room is, and whether the concrete underneath is worth keeping.
Diamond grinding
Machines with diamond tooling grind the old coating off and open up the concrete underneath. It's the same way we prep shop and warehouse floors for commercial and industrial epoxy coatings.
Chemical stripping
A stripper softens the coating so we can scrape it off by hand. That suits smaller rooms and floors that shouldn't take a grinder.
Full slab removal
When the concrete is cracked through, heaved or sunk, taking the coating off won't fix it. So we break the slab up, load it out and haul it off for disposal.

Floor removal questions
How much does concrete removal cost in Poinciana, FL?
Concrete removal across the US usually costs about $3 to $8 per square foot, including disposal, and that range is for tearing out the slab, not for stripping a coating. The size of the slab, how thick it is and how much room there is for the equipment all move the price. I'll give you your own number after I see the floor.
How do I choose between grinding and chemical stripping for an epoxy floor?
Grinding usually makes sense for a larger floor you want back quickly, and a chemical stripper can be the cheaper choice for a small room or a delicate surface. Strippers give off fumes, so the room needs good airflow and the crew needs protective gear while it works. If you can open the space up and air it out, a stripper may suit it.
How long does it take to remove an epoxy floor coating?
A typical 1,000-square-foot area might take one to three days, counting cleanup and prep for the next floor. Grinding moves faster than a chemical stripper, so ask which one you're getting and book your new floor for after that window.
Do I need a permit to remove a concrete floor in Poinciana?
That depends on which county handles your address, because Poinciana sits in both Osceola and Polk counties and their rules read differently. Osceola County requires a building permit for any structural improvement or regulated work that needs a licensed contractor, and Polk County requires one to build or demolish any structure. We sort that out before work starts.
What's the difference between a certified and a registered contractor license in Florida?
A certified license from the state lets a contractor work anywhere in Florida, while a registered license only covers the cities or counties where the holder has a certificate of competency. So before you hire, ask which one a contractor holds and whether it covers your county.
Does removing a floor in a commercial building in Florida need an asbestos notice?
It can, if the job counts as a demolition or removes asbestos-containing material above the state's thresholds. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection wants that notice sent to its district or local compliance office at least 10 working days before work starts. A home is exempt only when it has four or fewer units, was never used commercially, isn't part of a larger multi-building project and doesn't clear room for a commercial building.
