Concrete Grinding & Coating Removal in Etobicoke
In Etobicoke, much of our grinding work is removal: old coatings in garages of post-war bungalows, older homes with detached garages and lakeside townhomes, and glue, mastic and failed coatings in the units and buildings of one of the GTA's largest industrial districts near Toronto Pearson.
We remove coatings and adhesives with dust-controlled diamond grinding, take down high spots and joint lips, and leave the Etobicoke slab clean and profiled, ready for epoxy, polishing or a sealer.

The system
Concrete Grinding & Coating Removal
Before a new floor can go down, the old one often has to come off. Peeling epoxy, paint, DIY garage kits, carpet and tile glue, thinset and mastic all prevent a new coating from bonding. We remove them with heavy diamond grinders and, where needed, scrapers, leaving clean, open concrete ready for the next finish.
Grinding also flattens high spots and lips at joints, removes the weak top layer of the slab, and creates the surface profile that epoxy and polyaspartic coatings need to bond mechanically. It is the single most important step in a lasting coating, and the one most often skipped.

Questions
Concrete Grinding & Coating Removal in Etobicoke: FAQs
How do I get a concrete grinding & coating removal quote in Etobicoke?+
Call (647) 370-9166, use the form on this page or email info@trueformepoxy.ca. Send the approximate square footage and a few photos and we will send a written quote for your Etobicoke project.
Can you remove a peeling DIY garage coating?+
Yes. Failed DIY kits are one of the most common things we grind off. Once the old coating is removed and the slab is properly profiled, a professional system can be installed in its place.
Is grinding dusty?+
We use dust-controlled grinders connected to industrial vacuums, which capture most of the dust at the source. There is some noise, so we schedule around occupied spaces.
Why not just acid-etch the floor?+
Acid etching does not remove contaminants, sealers or old coatings, and it leaves an inconsistent surface. Diamond grinding gives a clean, even profile the coating can grip, which is why we use it for every coating job.

Yes. We work throughout Etobicoke, including Mimico, New Toronto, Long Branch, Humber Bay, The Kingsway, Islington Village, Markland Wood, Thistletown and Rexdale, and in nearby Toronto, Woodbridge, Oakville, Thornhill and Vaughan.
