Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation in Poinciana FL - a slab ready for its coating
Old paint, glue or a slick, sealed slab won't hold a new coating. We grind it back to clean, rough concrete that bonds.
What concrete grinding does for your floorbefore the coating goes down
If a coating is peeling off your garage floor, or you're about to put one down, the concrete under it decides whether it holds. At Landmark Epoxy Flooring of Poinciana, concrete grinding and surface preparation is where that starts. Diamond pads take off old paint, glue, epoxy and high spots and leave rough, clean concrete the next product can grip.
We like to know which coating or sealer is going down before we grind, so the texture we leave matches what that product needs. Our grinders run with dust collection hooked up, and we'll show you the setup before we start.
The price moves with the size of the floor, what's on it now and how much repair it needs. Thick old epoxy or glue takes longer to grind off than bare concrete, and weak or cracked spots add work. The schedule turns on those same things and any permit, and your quote spells out the prep before we start.
I'll tell you plainly what your slab needs, and if a floor won't suit it, I'll say so. Call (863) 366-5021.
The concrete grinding and prep we do
We set the prep by what's on the slab now and what's going on it next, so a bare garage floor and a shop floor under old epoxy get different work.
Grinding for a new finish
Diamond pads open up smooth or sealed concrete and take down high spots, leaving an even, rough surface for a new coating or concrete sealing.
Old coating and glue removal
We grind off old paint, epoxy and mastic, the glue left under old tile or carpet, until we reach clean concrete the new floor can hold.
Weak and cracked spots
Weak concrete comes out down to solid concrete, and we patch cracks and chipped spots during prep. A badly worn slab may suit resurfacing or an overlay better.

Floor prep questions we hear
What is the best way to prep concrete for epoxy, grinding or acid etching?
Machine grinding is usually the better choice, since it's the first choice for roughening concrete and the safest method. Acid etching can work under some coatings, sealers and toppings, but it leaves oil and petroleum products in the concrete, so a garage floor with oil stains needs machine prep.
What surface profile does my garage floor coating need?
The maker of the coating or sealer you pick sets the profile, the texture left on the concrete, so that product's instructions are what we grind to. That's why we ask for your product choice up front, before any grinding starts.
How much dust does concrete grinding make inside a house?
Grinding concrete with diamond tools makes a lot of fine dust, so it has to be done with a capable dust collector running. Ask any crew which collector they bring and how it's set up, and as we said above, we'll show you ours before we start.
Who do I ask about a permit for concrete grinding in Poinciana?
Osceola County advises getting a building permit before starting construction, and Polk County requires a construction permit for work that needs a code inspection, so the answer comes from the county that handles your address. Polk says its examples aren't a complete list and asks you to call its plans examiners in Bartow at (863) 534-6080. We check this for your address before work starts.
How long does concrete grinding take before a coating goes down?
That's set by the floor's size, what has to come off and any repairs, and some coatings add a wait for moisture testing. One maker's guide keeps the slab and the air above it at normal-use temperature and humidity for at least 48 hours before testing, so you'd run the space as usual those days.
How much does concrete grinding cost in Poinciana, FL?
I give you a price after I've seen your slab, because the floor decides it. Size, what has to come off and how much weak or cracked concrete needs fixing move it most, and thick old epoxy takes more grinding than bare concrete. Your quote lists each part of the prep.
