We have the tools and knowledge to quickly and cost-effectively prepare your concrete substrate while maintaining a dust free environment. Shot blasting provides a textured profile recommended for a variety of coatings while maintaining a dust free work area. Our planetary grinders use diamonds to provide a smooth, uniform profile for thin film coatings and stains/clear sealers. Whether you need adhesive, thinset, thin film or high build coatings removed, we have equipment to get the job done. We offer a wide variety of floor prep methods to meet whatever demands your current project may entail.

We have generators built into all our box trucks so we are able to supply power at every jobsite where the work area(s) are within 250 feet of parking for our truck. We are able to use larger commercial equipment in residential applications and minimize downtime and expense of having an electrician hook up power when it is available.
