The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

Peeling paint, failed epoxy and old sealers cannot be coated over. They have to come off, and the method depends on the material and thickness. Grinding, scraping, shot blasting and chemical strippers each have a place.

Concrete Coating removes failed coatings in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee. We identify what is on the floor, choose the right removal method and leave a clean slab ready for a new system.

Why people choose it

Four things done right.

A bare slab bonds best.

Good questions

Coating Removal and Stripping: common questions

Can I coat over peeling paint?

No. A coating is only as strong as what it sits on, so loose or peeling coatings need to come off first.

Can old coatings contain hazards?

Some older products may need special handling. We test and tell you what we find before work starts.
