Floor Coating Repair in Kalamazoo: Revitalizing a Damaged Concrete Surface

In 2023, a floor coating repair project in Kalamazoo faced numerous challenges due to improper preparation techniques employed by a previous contractor. However, H&H Painting stepped in to rectify the situation and deliver exceptional results.

H&H Steps in for Floor Coating Repair

The project began with the contractor hired prior to H&H using a ride-on shot blaster to prep the concrete surface. The intention was to create an ideal foundation for the floor coating, but this method was too aggressive. The shot blaster blew out stones from the concrete, leading to stone holes across the new slab. Additionally, the process caused the new saw-cut control joints to be blown open and even chipped out the edges of these saw cuts, and the floor was in dire need of repair.

The Floor Coating Repair Process

H&H, known for expertise in floor coating repair and restoration, assessed the situation and devised a plan. One of the first steps we took was diamond grinding the entire floor. This process helped to create a smooth and even surface, eliminating imperfections. To address the stone hole blowouts, H&H opted for epoxy mastic. This material, designed for filling voids and defects in concrete, restored the floor’s integrity and uniformity. Our technicians applied the epoxy mastic, ensuring it seamlessly blended with the surrounding surface. The next challenge was to repair the blown-open control joints. H&H saw-cut the joints and filled them with semi-rigid epoxy, ensuring durability.

Finishing with High-Quality Epoxy

With the floor repaired and prepped, the H&H team coated the surface using a multi-step process. We applied five coats of high-quality epoxy, ensuring a solid foundation for excellent adhesion and long-term durability. The epoxy coating was followed by a top coat of high-wear urethane from Tennant, providing an extra layer of protection against heavy foot traffic, abrasions, and chemicals. What was once a damaged and unsightly floor now boasted a sleek and professionally finished surface.
