Starting with a clean, properly prepared concrete surface is the most critical step in any successful flooring project. At Luxe Pro Finish, our concrete floor preparation and removal services focus on removing failing coatings, mastic glues, grout, adhesives, paint, and existing flooring materials such as ceramic tile, VCT, vinyl, and carpet. During the process, we also grind the concrete to help level the surface and patch holes or cracks, ensuring the slab is properly prepared for whatever comes next. Whether you choose one of our premium floor systems or hire another contractor, we ensure you begin with a solid foundation.

We use professional grinding equipment, shot blasting when needed, and targeted chemical strippers to completely remove unwanted materials without compromising your underlying concrete. This service is perfect for businesses and homeowners in Oakland County and Metro Detroit dealing with peeling epoxy, old adhesives, warehouse coatings, or any surface that needs to be taken back to clean, properly prepared concrete.

If your existing floor is failing or you need expert preparation before installing a new system, contact us today.

Concrete Floor Removal & Prep

Our Floor Preparation Process

1. Surface Evaluation

We inspect concrete to identify coatings, adhesives, paint, and damage. This determines the best removal method and reveals cracks needing repair before proceeding.

2. Material Removal

Using grinders, shot blasters, or chemical strippers, we completely remove failing epoxy, polyurea, paint, mastic, or thinset down to bare concrete with no residue.

3. Concrete Repair & Patch

We fill cracks, spalls, and voids with premium repair materials, leveling uneven areas to create a smooth, stable surface ready for your chosen flooring system.

4. Final Cleaning & Profile

We thoroughly clean and grind to the ideal concrete profile (CSP) for coating, polishing, or staining, verifying optimal adhesion and performance conditions.
