  • The slab left profiled and ready for whatever goes on next
  • Our own equipment and our own crews
Concrete Coating Removal in San Bernardino

Built for San Bernardino homes.

San Bernardino carries some of the oldest housing stock in the Inland Empire and sits directly below the mountains, which gives it a wider temperature range than the valley floor cities south of it. Older concrete and bigger seasonal swings are the two things that shape the work here.

Cracks are not a reason to replace a slab. They are a reason to deal with them properly — chased out, cleaned and filled — before anything goes over the top. Skipping that step is why so many overlays telegraph the old crack back through within a year.

There is also a great deal of commercial and institutional work in San Bernardino: warehouse floors, school and municipal facilities, and courts. Court coating removal is where this company started, and this county keeps us in it.

San Bernardino FAQs

Concrete Coating Removal in San Bernardino, questions

Will an old crack come back through a new surface?

It will if nobody dealt with it first, and that is the single most common reason overlays fail. Done properly — cut out, cleaned, filled and bridged — it stays where it belongs.

Do you do removal for other contractors?

Yes, and it is a real part of what we do. Plenty of good contractors do not own the removal equipment or do not want to tie a crew up on it. We take the old system off, leave the slab profiled to the spec they need, and they lay their own finish over it. No competition on the finish work — we are there for the removal.

Can you do this inside an occupied building?

Yes. Interior removal is a dust-control problem more than a grinding problem, and we run vacuum-assisted equipment and containment for occupied spaces. It changes the schedule and the price, so tell us up front that the building stays open and we will scope it that way.
