If your coating is peeling, hot-tire lifting, or stained through, epoxy removal is the fastest path back to a durable floor. Elite Epoxy Clermont has served Clermont since 2018, stripping failed coatings and reinstalling commercial-grade systems that bond to clean, sound concrete.
Prep starts with a site check for moisture vapor (ASTM F2170 RH probes or ASTM F1869 calcium chloride), slab flatness, and prior coating type (water-based epoxy, solvent epoxy, polyaspartic, urethane, acrylic sealer). We protect walls, baseboards, and door thresholds, then remove the coating with industrial diamond grinding (16-30 grit metal-bond segments) and, when needed, shot blasting to reach a CSP 2-3 profile (ICRI guideline). Cracks, spalls, and control joints are repaired with fast-set epoxy crack filler or polyurea joint material, then we vacuum with HEPA dust control so the new primer wets out the concrete instead of bonding to powder.
Central Florida slabs often deal with humidity, irrigation overspray, and garage condensation, which can push moisture into the concrete and cause bubbling or delamination. When conditions call for it, we install a moisture-mitigating epoxy primer and broadcast silica sand to lock in a mechanical bond before the build coats. Finish options include solid-color epoxy, full flake broadcast with clear polyaspartic topcoat for UV stability, or a heavy-build quartz system for slip resistance in wet entries and shop floors. We tune texture with aluminum oxide or polymer grit and target a practical thickness (typically 12-30 mils depending on system) so the surface cleans easily and stands up to tires, forklifts, and chemical drips.
Clermont customers choose us because we treat removal as a concrete preparation job, not a paint-over. We use diamond tooling matched to the slab and the old coating, verify surface profile, and control dust with commercial vacuums and sealed work zones. Written estimates list the removal method, repair scope, coating system, and cure timeline, so there are no surprises when you compare bids. You get a crew that knows how to troubleshoot failures like amine blush, poor surface prep, moisture vapor pressure, and incompatible topcoats, and fix the cause before we recoat.
At completion, we do a walkthrough to confirm gloss level, texture, edge work at stem walls and doorways, and clean terminations at control joints. You receive care and cure instructions (typical foot traffic 12-24 hours, vehicles 48-72 hours depending on product), plus cleaning guidance using pH-neutral detergents and non-marking pads. We also document the system used (primer, build coat, broadcast media, topcoat) and note any slab conditions we found, so future maintenance is straightforward. If you need fast turnaround, we can schedule polyaspartic recoats for next-day return-to-service where the site and weather allow.
It depends on the system and conditions. Many polyaspartic topcoats allow faster return to service than epoxy-only systems, but we will give you a written schedule for foot traffic and vehicle traffic based on cure time.
Hot-tire pickup is usually caused by poor prep, low-grade products, or coatings not designed for garages. We prioritize diamond grinding, proper primers, and durable topcoats to reduce that risk.
Yes. We route or open cracks as needed, fill with polyurea or epoxy repair materials, and patch spalls and pitting with epoxy mortar so the finished floor looks uniform and performs better.
High-gloss floors can be slick with water. We can add aluminum oxide or polymer grit to the topcoat, or use flake texture, to increase slip resistance while keeping the floor easy to clean.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate that lists the recommended system, surface prep approach, finish options, and project schedule.
Epoxy removal is the right move when a floor is peeling, chalking, stained through, or lifting from hot tires. Instead of patching over failure, we remove the old coating down to clean concrete, correct bond breakers and moisture issues, then install a new epoxy or polyaspartic system built for garages, warehouses, retail, and light industrial spaces in Clermont, FL.
Most coating failures come from poor surface prep, trapped moisture vapor, or incompatible products layered together. Our process starts by identifying what is on the slab and why it failed, then selecting the right removal method. Diamond grinding is common for garages and small commercial floors because it levels minor imperfections and opens the pores for primer penetration. Shot blasting is added when we need a more aggressive mechanical profile or when previous coatings are thick, brittle, or uneven. After removal, we target an ICRI CSP 2-3 profile so the new system can form both mechanical and chemical bond.
Recoating is matched to how you use the space. For garages, a full flake broadcast with a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat keeps color from ambering and improves stain resistance. For shops and back-of-house areas, we can build a thicker epoxy base and add aluminum oxide for traction. Where moisture is elevated, a moisture-tolerant epoxy primer can reduce the risk of future blistering and delamination. Every system includes edge detailing at doorways and stem walls, plus clean joint lines where applicable.
If you are searching for epoxy removal because your floor looks worse after a previous “refresh,” we can help you reset it the right way. You will get a written estimate, a clear schedule, and a finished surface designed to handle real traffic, cleaning, and Florida humidity without peeling.
