Decorative Concrete Coating FAQs
Peeling is almost always a prep or moisture failure. Proper grinding, crack repair, and moisture testing are what separate lasting coatings from peeling ones — ask your specialist about their prep process.
Usually it must be removed by grinding first — coatings need to bond to concrete, not to old paint. Your estimate should include the prep required.
Simple: sweep and damp-mop with mild cleaner. Avoid harsh acids. Quality coatings resist hot-tire pickup, salt, and most chemicals.
Cracks get repaired as part of prep, but coatings don't stop structural movement — new cracks can telegraph through. Your specialist will assess and set expectations.
Anti-slip additives are available and commonly used in commercial and residential wet areas. Mention slip concerns when getting your estimate.
