Concrete Epoxy Coating in Tijeras, NM

Yes, old failing or peeling coatings must be removed before new epoxy goes down. Applying epoxy over a compromised surface causes the new coat to fail the same way, so we grind the slab clean first.

Epoxy can bond to old concrete in Albuquerque and Tijeras if the existing coating is fully removed and the slab is properly profiled. We diamond-grind the surface to expose clean, porous concrete before any new coating is applied.

Epoxy requires thorough surface prep, and skipping that step is the most common reason floors peel or bubble in Rio Rancho and Tijeras homes. The coating also needs the slab to be dry and free of moisture vapor before application.

Hiring a professional gives you access to diamond grinding equipment and moisture testing that DIY kits cannot replicate. Proper surface profiling is what separates a coating that lasts from one that peels within a season in the East Mountains climate.

Tijeras sits at elevation where temperatures drop sharply at night, and cold concrete slows epoxy curing and can cause adhesion problems if conditions are not accounted for. We schedule and prep accordingly so the coating cures correctly through New Mexico's seasonal temperature swings.
