What We Do

Self-leveling concrete overlay that helps homeowners create a flat, finish-ready base

Covering leveling pours, crack filling, sanding finish, and written estimates that specify coverage per bag, pour thickness, and cure windows.

Leveling Pour & Finish
Mix and pour self-leveling compound to specified thickness, smooth to tolerance, and perform an initial curing inspection.
Crack Filling & Sanding
Pre-pour crack filling and post-pour sanding to produce a uniform, profile-ready surface for coatings or coverings.

Why Marietta Epoxy Flooring

Uneven floors cause failed finishes and delays

Left unlevel, coverings bubble and installers delay; with the correct overlay, coverings lay flat and handover meets schedule.

Common Challenges

Confusing coverage per bag
Customers run short mid-pour when estimates omit coverage details. We list coverage per bag and adjust quantities to prevent delays.
Overlay unsuitable for badly damaged slabs
Large cracks or active movement can cause failure. We assess slab condition and recommend repair before overlay when needed.
Poor surface prep causes delamination
Skipping grinding, degrease, or crack repair leads to peeling. We follow staged prep to secure long-term adhesion.

How We Help

Itemized material and coverage
Written estimates specify coverage per bag, layer thickness, and total material quantities for clear planning.
Surface-first prep reduces delamination
Diamond grinding, degrease, and crack filling create the profile needed for reliable bond to the leveling compound.
Defined pour thickness and cure windows
Options include 1/8–1/4 in smoothing pours or deeper leveling; we state cure windows to prevent premature loading.
Polishable finish for coatings
Post-pour sanding and profile prep produce a smooth base ready for epoxy, tile, vinyl, or other coverings.

How We Work

How Self-Leveling Concrete Overlay Works

A three-step process from assessment to final inspection.

Site assessment
We measure uneven areas, record cracks, and specify pour thickness and material coverage in a written estimate.
Surface prep
Diamond grind, degrease, and pre-fill cracks to produce the profile and cleanliness required for bonding.
Pour and finish
We mix and pour the self-leveling compound, smooth to tolerance, inspect curing, then schedule handover.

About This Service

Self-Leveling Concrete Overlay in Marietta

A self-leveling concrete overlay is a polymer-modified, flowable cementitious pour used in Marietta to flatten uneven concrete and create a finish-ready base. It suits residential garages, retail storefronts, warehouses and office spaces that need a smooth substrate for tile, vinyl, epoxy or polishable finishes.

Work begins with staged surface prep: diamond grinding, degreasing, crack filling and a primer or bonding agent to ensure adhesion. Compounds are placed to specified thicknesses—feathered to edges or built as finish layers—and estimates state coverage per bag, target thickness and cure windows.

Many mixes allow limited foot traffic in 4–24 hours depending on temperature and humidity, with full adhesive or coating installation after manufacturer cure times. Overlays will not correct active settlement or structural movement; a sound slab and moisture control are preconditions for lasting performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about self-leveling overlays

Practical guidance on suitability, coverage, prep, and timing for overlays.

Coverings can bubble, adhesives fail, and trip hazards persist. Repairing or removing failed finishes costs substantially more than prepping first and prevents reinstall delays.

Hairline cracks can widen or telegraph through the overlay, causing visible lines or delamination. Early crack filling reduces rework and long-term repair costs.

Yes when the slab is sound. The surface must be profiled, degreased, and cracks repaired so the leveling compound can bond correctly.

No. Overlays smooth and level surfaces but do not stop structural movement. Structural repairs are required before overlay if movement is present.

Coverage depends on pour thickness. As a guide, a 50 lb bag covers roughly 20–25 sq ft at a thin 1/8 in feather coat; coverage falls as thickness increases.

Thin smoothing pours can be walkable in 24 hours; installation of floor coverings often requires 24–72 hours depending on thickness and product cure specs.
