Surface preparation is arguably one of the most important tasks of the concrete coatings process. For this reason, we want to take a moment to walk you through why it is so important to prepare a surface for resinous coating adhesion and how we make sure it is done properly. WHY IS SURFACE PREPARATION SO IMPORTANT? Surface preparation is important because if it is not done right, the coating system could fail. For instance, if the moisture was not tested and there is too much moisture in the concrete prior to coating installation, or the concrete slab was not repaired or leveled, the coating may delaminate quickly. The reason our coatings last longer than other competitor’s is because of the pride and time we take in preparing the concrete surface for adhesion. In addition to this, we also use high-performance materials that may cost more upfront, but will be a longtime investment. Patching and crack repairs. HOW DO WE PREPARE THE SURFACE FOR PROPER ADHESION? Our team will ensure that your concrete is prepared and repaired, so that […]

EPOXY COATING PROJECT COMPLETE We completed an epoxy coating project in the Fort Collins Power and Light office building this past month. The client chose to install the quarter inch Copper Mountain flake epoxy system, so that it would be easy to clean, durable to high traffic, and look good. The job was a big success! We transformed 15,000 square feet of rough and unlevel concrete that was previously carpeted into a beautiful, seamless, easy-to-clean floor. The client had decided on this application after having a previous section done and having seen how well it performed with workers walking through the area with muddy boots. THE PROCESS: Prepwork is arguably the most important part of our trade, and with this floor, we needed to focus on repairing the surface so that it would be nice and flat for the coating to adhere. We moved old pieces of concrete that had broken due to the concrete settling and cracking over time, as well as we filled a lot of cracks and grinded the surface smooth. The floor also required moisture […]

A POOL DECK COATING IS A PERFECT OPTION FOR MULTI-FAMILY AND HOME OWNER’S ASSOCIATIONS! Last week we finished a pool deck coating at an apartment complex in Westminster, Colorado. In only five days we transformed the 4,000 square foot deck into a beautiful, slip-resistant, and durable pool deck. This kept the property management company from having to rip out and replace the pool deck, which would have been more costly and would have made more of a disturbance in the daily operations. Our crew was excited to do this project! The pool deck needed some patching and minor repairs here and there, and we were up for the task! We had beautiful weather and the on-site team was great to work with. Even the residents stopped by to say hi when they passed by, asking us lots of questions about their new pool deck coating. The pool deck needed repairs, however, it was in good enough condition to opt for the pool deck resurface instead of replacing it. Some things to look for when deciding whether to replace the concrete or […]

Pool Deck Coating Colorado Concrete Repair finished a pool deck coating for a Greenwood Village community pool April 2016. The pool deck needed repairs before we coated it, so we went straight to work patching, grinding, and overall prepping the concrete surface, so that the coating would adhere and last a long time. The project took us one week and now the pool is ready to be used for the season. Luckily we finished it right before a spring snow storm hit! We take pride in prepping each surface before we apply a coating or sealing the concrete.
