When an old epoxy floor is peeling, bubbling, or stained through, the fix starts with proper epoxy removal, not another coat on top. Elite Epoxy Atlanta has served Atlanta since 2017, removing failed coatings and recoating concrete floors for garages, warehouses, retail spaces, and commercial kitchens.
Prep and base work determine whether a new coating lasts, so we start by identifying what is on the slab: epoxy, polyaspartic, polyurethane, paint, acrylic sealer, or a mix from past repairs. Removal is performed with industrial diamond grinding and, when needed, shot blasting to reach a clean, profiled concrete surface (typically CSP 2-3 for thin-film systems and CSP 3-5 for build coats). We repair spalls and pitting with fast-cure epoxy mortar, chase cracks, and treat control joints based on how the slab moves. Moisture testing is handled before recoating, because vapor pressure and hydrostatic moisture are common causes of delamination.
Atlanta’s humidity and temperature swings can affect cure times and adhesion, so we select primers and topcoats that match the slab condition and the use of the space. After profiling, we apply a moisture-tolerant epoxy primer when required, then build the system to spec: solid-color epoxy, full-flake broadcast with a scrape and vacuum back, or quartz and mortar systems for slip resistance. Topcoats are typically polyaspartic or aliphatic polyurethane for UV stability, chemical resistance, and easier cleaning. Gloss level and texture are dialed in with anti-slip aggregates (aluminum oxide or polymer grit) so you get the traction you need without turning the floor into sandpaper.
Customers choose us because we do epoxy removal the right way and we control the details that other crews skip. We use HEPA-dust extraction on our grinders to keep the jobsite cleaner and protect adjacent finishes, then document surface prep and film build so the recoating is not guesswork. You get a written scope that spells out crack treatment, joint approach, coating system, and cure windows, which helps facility managers plan access and downtime. As a licensed and insured contractor, we are set up for residential garages as well as active commercial sites that require clear scheduling and safety-minded work practices.
Before we leave, we walk the floor with you and review edges, cove lines (if included), terminations at doors, and any patched areas so expectations are clear. You receive care and cleaning guidance (pH-neutral cleaner, soft bristle, avoid harsh solvents unless specified), along with recommended return-to-service times for foot traffic, rolling loads, and hot-tire pickup. If the project includes safety striping or designated traffic lanes, we confirm layout and visibility under your lighting. The result is a fully bonded coating system built on properly prepared concrete, not a cosmetic cover-up.
Yes. We install polyaspartic and epoxy-polyaspartic systems, including full-flake broadcast with a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat for durability and easier cleaning.
Usually, yes. We remove most contaminants with diamond grinding and targeted degreasing, then repair pits and cracks before coating. If the slab is heavily contaminated or previously sealed, we’ll explain what prep is required and what’s realistic.
Yes. We can adjust traction using flake or quartz texture and add anti-slip media like aluminum oxide or polymer grit, depending on the space and how it’s cleaned.
We repair cracks and spalls, but concrete can move. Control joints are typically honored or filled depending on the system and expectations. We’ll review joint strategy so the finish performs and looks right.
Yes. We handle residential and commercial projects and can plan off-hours or phased installs when access and downtime matter, depending on scope and product cure times.
Epoxy removal is the first step when a floor coating is failing, contaminated, or simply layered too many times to perform. If epoxy is peeling, blistering, chalking, or showing hot-tire pickup, applying another coat usually traps the problem and shortens the life of the next system. Elite Epoxy Atlanta removes old coatings down to sound concrete, repairs the slab, and installs a new epoxy and topcoat system designed for your space, whether it is a garage, warehouse, showroom, or food-service back-of-house.
Most coating failures come from poor surface prep, moisture vapor, or incompatible layers such as paint over sealer or epoxy over oil-stained concrete. Our process starts with inspection, adhesion checks, and identifying existing products. We then remove the coating with diamond tooling and dust-controlled vacuums, aiming for clean, open concrete with the right Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) for the system being installed. Cracks, pits, and pop-outs are patched, and joints are addressed based on expected movement so the finished floor looks better and performs longer.
Recoating is not one-size-fits-all. For garages and light commercial floors, a pigmented epoxy base with a polyaspartic topcoat delivers abrasion resistance and easier maintenance. For high-traffic areas, we can install full broadcast flake or quartz systems with a traction additive to improve slip resistance, plus chemical-resistant topcoats where oils, cleaners, and spills are common. Color, gloss, and texture are selected to match your lighting and cleaning routine, not just appearance on day one.
If you are searching for epoxy removal in Atlanta, the goal is a floor that bonds to the concrete and stays bonded. We provide a free written estimate, explain prep options (grind vs shot blast), review cure and return-to-service times, and deliver a recoated surface that is built for real use.
Call now or send a request and we will reach out within one business day to schedule your free, no-obligation estimate in Atlanta. We assess the project, review the details, and give you a written quote before any work starts, so you know exactly what to expect.
