The hard part / We do it ourselves

For an unbreakable bond.

Most coating failures come down to prep. Every Grip Tech floor starts with these steps, done by our own crew.

01 /

Hardness testing

Concrete is tested for hardness so we pick the right diamonds for the grind.

02 /

Grinding & shotblasting

Concrete profiling opens the slab for a bond that holds. Old coatings, glue and paint come off too.

03 /

Edges & corners

Edges and corners are hand ground where the big grinder can’t reach.

04 /

Crack & joint repair

Cracks, pits and joints are filled and ground flush before any coating goes down.

05 /

Moisture mitigation

Damp slabs get a moisture-mitigation system first, so the floor doesn’t lift later.

06 /

Self-leveling cement

Uneven or rough floors are leveled so the finish goes down flat.

07 /

Floor demolition

Scraping and removal of old flooring, done by our own crew.

08 /

Maintenance plans

Monthly and annual care for polished concrete: deep cleaning and high-speed burnishing.

On the job / Grinders, edges, coving

No cut corners. Literally.

Walk-behind grinders for the field, hand grinders for the edges, and cove bases rolled up the wall in commercial kitchens.
