Concrete preparation & repair in Portland metro.
Make grinding, repairs, and moisture assessment part of the conversation from day one.
Assess before covering
Peeling paint, stains, cracks, and a dusty surface can have different causes. Ask an installer to identify the substrate and assess whether the concrete is sound enough for the proposed coating. Significant movement, persistent water entry, or structural concerns may need a different professional before a decorative finish is considered.
Specify preparation for the selected product
Manufacturer guidance sets preparation and application requirements for each system. Professional preparation may include mechanical grinding or other specified methods, cleaning, and compatible repairs. Ask how dust will be controlled and what adjacent items need protection.
Understand repair limitations
A repaired crack can move again. Movement joints and active water issues should not be hidden behind a cosmetic promise. Your quote should describe the repair scope, exclusions, any moisture treatment, and what conditions would trigger a change to the plan.
The work you do not want skipped.
Use the planning tools to build a project brief. Final products, suitability, price, and installation arrangements must be confirmed with an installer.
