At TKO Concrete Coatings, we know that a smooth, level substrate is the foundation for any high-performance floor system. That’s why our concrete grinding service is a go-to solution for removing coatings, smoothing out irregularities, and preparing surfaces for coatings or polishing. And we don’t just talk the talk—most recently, we tackled a 2,500 sq ft basement floor in an office building in Columbia, stripping away stubborn black paint to reveal fresh, clean concrete underneath.

Project Spotlight: Office Building Basement in Columbia

  • Scope: 2,500 sq ft of black paint removal

  • Challenge: Thick, aged industrial-grade paint had built up over years, creating an uneven surface and hiding potential floor damage

  • Solution:

    1. Initial Assessment & Mark-Out: Our crew evaluated the floor’s condition, mapped out the densest paint areas, and marked expansion joints to avoid over-grinding.

    2. Coarse Grinding Pass: Using heavy-duty, walk-behind planetary grinders with diamond tooling, we removed the bulk of the black paint quickly and efficiently.

    3. Fine-Tuning: A second pass with finer-grit diamonds smoothed the surface, ensuring a uniform profile and exposing any minor cracks or spalls.

    4. Cleanup & Inspection: High-powered vacuums captured dust and debris, and our QA team performed a moisture and profile check to certify the floor was ready for its next treatment.

Outcome: The basement floor now sports a flawlessly clean concrete surface, perfectly primed for any coating, sealant, or polish the building owner chooses next.

Why Grind Your Concrete?

  • Remove Unwanted Coatings & Adhesives: Paint, epoxy, and old adhesives don’t stand a chance.

  • Create a Better Bonding Profile: Grinding opens up the surface pores, so primers and coatings adhere far more effectively.

  • Level High Spots & Smooth Transitions: Say goodbye to trip hazards, roller marks, and trowel lines.

  • Reveal & Repair Hidden Damage: Stop small cracks and spalls from becoming big problems by catching them early.

Next Steps After Grinding

  1. Dust Control & Cleanup: We leave the area spotless—no stray concrete dust to track through your building.

  2. Moisture Testing: We can perform calcium chloride or relative humidity tests to ensure optimal moisture levels for coatings.

  3. Coating or Polishing: Whether you want to install an epoxy floor, a polished concrete finish, or a urethane cement system, your freshly ground substrate is ready.
