Old epoxy peeling, flaking or just not what you want anymore? We strip it down to clean concrete so your next floor has something to grip.
Concrete floor stripping and removal takes an old coating, like epoxy, off your concrete by grinding, shot blasting or chemical stripping, so your Brownsville garage, shop or indoor floor is back to clean concrete, ready to reseal or take a new floor.
Most calls start with a coating that's peeling, flaking or just not what you want anymore. Here's the part people don't like hearing. A coating that's lifting in one spot is usually stuck tight a few feet away, so all of it has to come up before anything new goes down, because patching over it only moves the failure somewhere else. The price turns on the size of the floor, what's on it now, how many layers there are and whether we grind it or strip it chemically, and the schedule turns on the same things plus when your next floor is set to start. If you're planning a new garage floor coating, this is the first step, and the estimate is where you get the plan for your own floor.
I'm the one who comes out to look at your floor and check the slab under the coating. Our crew lead and installers do the removal, and I stop by while the work is going on, so you know what's happening at each step.
We've been in business since 2020, and stripping is prep work, the part where floors fail when it's rushed. I'd rather tell you straight what your slab can take than sell you a system your concrete can't hold.
We're licensed and insured. Before the crew arrives, I tell you what has to move, which day we start and who'll be on your floor, so nobody's left guessing. Your satisfaction, guaranteed. Call (956) 505-5381 or use the form to set up a visit.
We reply within one business day. I'll come out for a free on-site estimate, look at the slab, ask how you use the space and write up what I'd do and why, with no pressure and no obligation. Have your rough square footage and the current coating type handy when you call (956) 505-5381 or fill out the form.
In Brownsville, the city's Building Permits and Inspections Division handles permits and plan review for remodeling and new construction, and whether taking a coating off your floor falls under that is something we confirm for your job. Permit rules change from city to city, so we check with the office that covers your address before work starts, and if your job needs a permit, we tell you and work through the paperwork with you. Public buildings have one more step. Texas requires notice to the Department of State Health Services at least 10 working days, not calendar days, before renovation that disturbs asbestos-containing material, so that wait goes into the schedule before the crew is booked.
Any concrete that comes up during the job can go to the city landfill as renovation waste at the regular landfill fees, which keeps cleanup simple here. Around here we mostly see garages with epoxy lifting where the tires sit, patios and indoor floors with tired coatings, and shops that need the floor turned around without a long closure. We're based in Brownsville and do the same work in the cities around it, including Harlingen and Los Fresnos, and if your city isn't on the site, call and ask.
Grinding and shot blasting take epoxy off faster but cost more up front, while chemical stripping usually starts cheaper and makes for a slower job with more labor. Chemical removal can be the better value on small areas or delicate surfaces. That trade between speed and the starting number is why your estimate shows both.
A typical 1,000-square-foot floor might take one to three days for removal, counting cleanup and prep for the next floor. You can book the new flooring to start once that window closes. The number of layers and the method move it, and I'll walk you through what that means for your floor when I come out.
Medium-grind concrete floor grinding in Texas usually costs about $2.10 to $3.20 per square foot, and that's the going rate across the state, not our price. Your number depends on what's on the floor, how many layers there are and whether we grind or strip it chemically. When I come out, I write up what I'd do for your floor and why.
It can, and how it's handled is a choice you make before anything comes up. For a house, the EPA treats the federal asbestos rules as good practices to follow even when your project falls outside them, so you decide how closely the crew follows them. The EPA also calls it good practice to use accredited workers, meaning people with formal asbestos training, for any work involving asbestos-containing material.
Move furniture, appliances and anything stored on the floor out of the area, and cover doorways to the rest of the house to keep dust from spreading. If we're stripping chemically, the room needs good airflow because the stripper gives off fumes, and the crew wears protective gear for it. I'll go over exactly what has to move when I come out.
