Marietta & Cobb County
A sealed, easy-to-clean floor with every material, layer and cure time in writing before work begins.
What We Arrange
We connect homeowners and business owners with vetted local installers who handle the full scope, prep, coating and final inspection.
A documented prep checklist, grinding, degreasing, crack repair, ensures the epoxy bonds and stays bonded.
Diamond grinding, crack patching, and a moisture check prepare the slab before a base coat, flake blend, and topcoat are applied.
Diamond grinding opens the slab to a CSP 2-3 surface profile so epoxy resin bonds mechanically, not just chemically.
Mechanical profiling to ICRI CSP 2-3 removes old sealer, adhesive residue, and grease so coatings bond without peeling.
Crack width and movement determine whether polyurethane sealant, epoxy filler, or a patching compound is the right fix.
A cementitious overlay poured at 3/16 to 1/2 inch fills low spots and restores a flat, bondable surface across the slab.
A bond test and crack inspection confirm whether your slab qualifies before any resurfacing material is applied.
A primer adhesion layer, epoxy base coat, and abrasion-rated topcoat applied at 10-20 mils total resist wear and surface dusting.
A grit progression from 30-mesh to 800-mesh or finer refines the slab surface to a specified sheen without any topcoat.
A porosity check determines the right sealer type, applied by roller or sprayer for water-beading protection that typically lasts 2-5 years.
A slip-resistant texture additive and UV-stable acrylic overlay restore traction and color on faded or cracked pool surrounds.
Epoxy resin, aggregate chips, and divider strips are poured and hand-troweled to a sealer finish rated for decades of foot traffic.
Checks for trapped moisture before any coating is specified.
Opens the slab to a bondable CSP 2-3 surface profile.
Removes oil contamination that prevents epoxy adhesion.
Filled and troweled flush before primer goes down.
Applied in sequence for a mechanically sound bond.
Decorative chips scattered for a consistent finish.
UV-stable, vehicle-traffic-rated seal over the full system.
Mixed into the topcoat for wet-area traction.
What Goes Wrong & Why
Most epoxy failures trace back to skipped prep steps, not the coating itself.
Without diamond grinding to a CSP 2-3 profile, epoxy sits on a smooth surface and delaminates under foot or vehicle traffic.
Every job follows a written prep checklist, grinding, degreasing and crack repair, before primer or base coat is applied.
Georgia’s humid summers raise slab moisture levels; coating over a damp slab traps vapor and causes bubbling and bond failure.
The installer runs a moisture test before specifying any coating system, particularly on older Cobb County slabs with basement exposure.
A quote with no breakdown of prep steps or materials leaves you with no way to verify what was, or was not, done on your floor.
Every estimate lists materials, layer thickness and cure times in writing before any work is scheduled, no verbal-only agreements.
Standard epoxy topcoats yellow under Marietta’s high UV exposure, leaving a discolored finish within one to two seasons.
A polyaspartic topcoat is specified for UV stability, resisting yellowing and surface wear under direct sunlight and vehicle traffic.
Why Choose Us
Every job is arranged with accountability built in, written estimates, a prep checklist and a final inspection before we consider the work done.
Your estimate lists every material, layer thickness and cure time. Nothing is verbal, nothing is assumed.
Grinding, degreasing and crack repair are included in the prep checklist on every job, not billed as extras after the fact.
The installer returns for a curing inspection and hands over a written record of every material and layer applied.
Installers schedule degreasing and cure windows around Marietta’s humid summers, not against them.
Cobb County homes with suspected basement moisture receive a slab assessment before any coating system is chosen.
How It Works
01
Tell us about your slab and we’ll arrange a local installer to assess it and quote materials, prep and cure times in writing.
02
Once you approve the itemized estimate, the installer schedules grinding, degreasing, crack repair and coating around your timeline.
03
The installer returns for a final curing inspection and provides a documented handover so you know exactly what is on your floor.
The Full Process
Understanding the sequence helps you ask the right questions and spot a quote that skips something important.
Every installation starts with a slab assessment and moisture test. Marietta’s humid summers raise moisture vapor levels in concrete, and coating over a damp slab is the leading cause of bubbling and bond failure. The installer uses a plastic sheet or calcium chloride test to confirm the slab is dry enough to accept a primer. On older Cobb County homes with attached garages or basement floors, this step determines whether a moisture barrier primer is needed before anything else goes down. Only after the slab passes does surface preparation begin.
Surface preparation covers three tasks: diamond grinding to a CSP 2-3 profile, degreasing to remove oil contamination, and crack repair using the right filler for the crack type. Hairline cracks get a flexible polyurethane sealant; wider cracks are chased and filled with a rigid patching compound troweled flush. Grinding with a diamond cup wheel removes old coatings and opens the concrete so epoxy bonds mechanically, not just chemically. A HEPA vacuum on a dust shroud keeps the workspace clean throughout. Skipping or rushing any of these steps is why most epoxy floors peel within a year.
Once the slab is prepared, the installer applies a primer layer, an epoxy base coat, a decorative flake blend broadcast, and a polyaspartic topcoat. The polyaspartic finish is UV-stable and vehicle-traffic-rated, which matters in Marietta’s high-sun environment where standard epoxy topcoats yellow within a season or two. An anti-slip additive can be mixed into the topcoat for garages or wet areas. Cure time varies by product and ambient humidity, and the installer schedules each stage around Georgia’s conditions. A final curing inspection confirms the floor is fully set before the documented handover is provided.
