How we work

Scope of work, system by system.

Every product we install follows a documented sequence — prep, primer, build, topcoat, cure. No skipped steps, no cut corners. Here is exactly what happens on your slab from day one to handover, broken down by system.

Phase · 00

Before any system goes down

These five steps happen on every job, regardless of which system we install. They are the difference between a coating that lasts 15 years and one that fails in 18 months.

  1. Site walk & moisture test — calcium chloride or RH probes per ASTM F1869/F2170. We do not coat over wet slabs.
  2. Surface profile — diamond grinding to CSP 2–4 (most systems). Shot blasting on heavy commercial.
  3. Crack & joint repair — static cracks chase-cut and filled with polyurea; saw cuts honored or detailed per spec.
  4. Containment & masking — walls, fixtures, drains, and adjacent finishes protected before any product opens.
  5. Climate check — slab temp, ambient temp, dew point logged hourly during install.

Solid Color Epoxy

The simplest decorative system: one base color, no flake, no metallic. Common in warehouses, mechanical rooms, and back-of-house commercial spaces where a clean uniform finish matters more than visual drama.

  1. Day 1 AM — diamond grind to CSP 2, vacuum, repair cracks and joints.
  2. Day 1 PM — apply pigmented epoxy basecoat at 10–12 mil.
  3. Day 2 AM — light scuff sand, vacuum, apply pigmented epoxy topcoat at 8–10 mil.
  4. Day 2 PM — optional anti-slip aggregate broadcast into wet topcoat for wet areas.
  5. Day 3 AM — walk-on. Forklift / vehicle traffic at 48–72 hrs.

Urethane Cement

Heavy-duty hybrid system for commercial kitchens, food & beverage plants, dairies, breweries — anywhere thermal shock, steam cleaning, and chemical exposure are daily realities.

  1. Day 1 AM — shot blast to CSP 4–5 (heavier profile required for cement bond).
  2. Day 1 PM — install integral cove base where required (4″ or 6″ up walls).
  3. Day 2 AM — trowel-apply urethane cement slurry at 1/4″ (250 mil) thickness.
  4. Day 2 PM — broadcast quartz aggregate to refusal for slip resistance.
  5. Day 3 AM — scrape excess, vacuum, apply pigmented urethane topcoat.
  6. Day 3 PM — apply chemical-resistant urethane sealcoat.
  7. Day 4 AM — walk-on. Wet cleaning at 24 hrs. Full chemical cure 7 days.

Polished Concrete

The slab itself is the finish. Progressive diamond grinding from coarse (40-grit) to fine (1500–3000 grit) plus densifier and stain-resistant sealer. No coating to peel, ever.

  1. Day 1 — initial cut: 40-grit metal-bond diamonds expose desired aggregate level (cream, salt-and-pepper, or full aggregate).
  2. Day 1 PM — step up through 80 and 150 grit metal bonds.
  3. Day 2 AM — apply lithium silicate densifier; let dwell & absorb.
  4. Day 2 PM — resin-bond polish: 100, 200, 400 grit.
  5. Day 3 AM — resin-bond polish: 800, 1500 grit (3000 grit optional for ultra-gloss).
  6. Day 3 PM — apply stain-guard sealer (penetrating, no surface film).
  7. Day 4 AM — burnish to final sheen. Walk-on immediately.

Concrete Overlay

A thin polymer-modified cement layer poured over existing concrete. Stamped, broomed, or troweled to mimic flagstone, slate, brick, or smooth modern finishes — without tearing out the slab underneath.

  1. Day 1 AM — pressure wash, etch, or grind existing slab to open the surface.
  2. Day 1 PM — repair spalls, fill divots, apply bonding primer.
  3. Day 2 AM — place forms / control joints; mix and pour polymer-cement overlay 1/4″–3/8″ thick.
  4. Day 2 PM — stamp pattern (flagstone, ashlar slate, wood plank, custom) while overlay is plastic.
  5. Day 3 AM — apply integral or topical color hardener; broom or texture as designed.
  6. Day 3 PM — let cure undisturbed 24 hrs.
  7. Day 4 — apply UV-stable acrylic or urethane sealer (2 coats).

Repair & Sealing

For slabs that don't need a new coating — just a tune-up. Crack repair, joint filling, surface densification, and penetrating sealer to extend the life of an existing concrete or coated floor.

  1. Day 1 AM — assess: identify cracks (static vs active), failed joints, surface dusting, stains.
  2. Day 1 PM — chase-cut static cracks; vacuum debris.
  3. Day 1 late — fill cracks with semi-rigid polyurea; trim flush.
  4. Day 2 AM — reseal control joints with self-leveling polyurea.
  5. Day 2 PM — apply lithium silicate densifier (if surface is dusting).
