CONCRETE SURFACE
PREPARATION
The foundation every great floor is built on. Grinding, stripping, and prep done right so your next phase installs flawlessly and your timeline stays on track.
Get the Floor Right Before Anything Goes on Top of It
Concrete surface preparation is the mechanical grinding, profiling, and removal work that gets a slab ready for what's installed on top of it. Every coating, polish, and waterproofing system depends on proper prep, and skipped prep is the most common reason floors fail early.
What we handle:
- Concrete grinding and profiling to the correct CSP for the next system.
- Shot blasting for aggressive profiles.
- Removal of old coatings, epoxy, thinset, mastic, paint, sealers, and failed waterproofing.
- Crack repair and surface leveling to deliver a sound substrate.
- HEPA dust extraction and containment to keep the site clean in occupied buildings.
Who it's for: General contractors, subcontractors, and project managers across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach who need prep done right so the next phase installs on time and on schedule.

Why Surface Prep Decides Everything
Most floor failures are not coating failures. They are prep failures. A beautiful epoxy or a premium waterproofing system installed over a poorly prepped slab will fail no matter how good the material is. Proper preparation creates the mechanical profile that lets the next system bond and last. When you start with the right prep, you protect your timeline, your budget, and your reputation. That is why surface prep is the foundation Kong builds every project on.

Concrete Surface Preparation FAQs
Coatings and systems bond to the mechanical profile of the concrete. Without proper grinding or shot blasting, the surface is too smooth or contaminated for anything to bond, and the finish will peel or fail.
We remove old coatings, epoxy, thinset, mastic, paint, sealers, and failed waterproofing membranes, and we profile the bare concrete for whatever comes next.
We run HEPA dust extraction and containment to keep the site clean and safe, which matters especially in occupied or active buildings.
It depends on the square footage and what needs to come off. We assess the job and give you a clear timeline that fits your schedule.
Both. We self-perform surface prep and the finish systems, including epoxy, polished concrete, and waterproofing, so you can keep it all under one crew.
We serve Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.
