Boise Concrete Prep & Repair
We provide concrete preparation and repair in Boise, Idaho — the unglamorous step that decides whether a floor coating lasts twenty years or peels in one. Most failed garage floors around the Treasure Valley didn’t fail because of a bad coating; they failed because nobody profiled the slab or fixed what was broken underneath. We do that work, whether or not we’re the ones coating afterward.
Our prep crew shows up with industrial diamond grinders, dustless vacuums, and moisture meters — not a jug of acid. Grinding opens the concrete’s pores to a measurable profile so the coating can mechanically key into the slab, the only bond that survives hot tires and Idaho freeze-thaw. Skip this step and even the best resin in the world is just sitting on top of dust, waiting to let go.
Diamond Grinding
We mechanically grind every slab to the right profile, removing old paint, sealers, glue, and laitance in the process. The dustless system keeps your Boise garage or shop clean while we work.
Crack & Spall Repair
Cracks get chased out and filled with rigid polymer; crumbling control joints and spalled edges are rebuilt and re-profiled. Done right, these repairs disappear under the finished coating instead of telegraphing through it.
Moisture Testing
Vapor rising through a slab is the silent killer of coatings, especially in Boise basements and older garages. We test moisture before we quote, and if the slab is wet we spec a vapor-tolerant system instead of letting a standard coating bubble off.
Old Coating Removal
Got a flaking paint job or a failed epoxy from a previous installer? Removal is part of prep. Our diamond grinders and, where needed, shot-blasters strip old coatings, mastic, and sealers down to clean, sound concrete so the new system bonds to the slab itself rather than to a layer that’s already letting go. Tearing out a bad floor is routine work for us, not a deal-breaker.
When You Need Repair First
Not every slab is ready for a coating, and we’ll tell you honestly if yours needs attention first. Wide structural cracks, heaving, severe spalling, or active moisture all need addressing before any finish goes down. We handle the cosmetic and surface repairs in-house and will flag the rare case that calls for a concrete contractor — so you spend money once, on a floor that holds.
