Surface Evaluation
We look at the condition of the existing concrete, previous coatings and visible areas that may need attention.
METRO DETROIT CONCRETE PREP
Preparation Before Decoration
Concrete preparation that gives the coating a real foundation.
1st Epoxy mechanically prepares concrete before decorative floor coatings, using diamond grinding and job-specific repair preparation based on the condition of the existing floor.

WHY PREPARATION MATTERS
The finish starts before the coating is installed.
Existing concrete can have worn areas, contaminants, old coatings, surface defects or repairs that need attention before a new decorative system is applied. Mechanical preparation creates a clean, consistent starting surface and lets the installation be matched to the actual condition of the floor.
OUR PREPARATION PROCESS
Evaluate. Prepare. Build the finish.
The exact prep depends on the floor. 1st Epoxy evaluates the concrete first and uses mechanical preparation before moving into the decorative coating system.
Diamond Grinding
Mechanical diamond grinding prepares the concrete surface for the coating system instead of treating preparation as an afterthought.
Job-Specific Repairs
Repair preparation is matched to the floor and the coating job before the decorative finish is built.
FROM PREP TO FINISH
Choose the look after the foundation is ready.
After preparation, 1st Epoxy can create metallic, flake / chip, garage, basement and commercial floor finishes. Explore the service pages to compare the look that fits your space.
