High-spot & lip removal
Grinding down slab high spots, curled joints, and offset lips so the surface reads flat under tile, plank, or coatings instead of telegraphing through the finish.

Scope of work
What Concrete Grinding Includes
Grinding is the mechanical step that makes everything after it work. On most Las Vegas slabs it covers four jobs at once.
Coating & paint removal
Failed epoxy, urethane, garage paint, and sealers taken off mechanically — no chemical stripping mess left behind in the slab.
Thinset & adhesive removal
Thinset, mastic, carpet glue, and cutback ground off down to sound concrete so the next adhesive bonds to the slab, not to a leftover film.
Surface profiling (CSP) for new floors
Opening the slab to the concrete surface profile your coating or flooring system specifies, then cleaning and verifying it before handoff.
Raised joints and offset walkways are their own scope — see trip hazard grinding. If you're a flooring or coating company scheduling prep against installs, start on the contractor page.
Two very different jobs
Residential vs. Commercial
Same diamonds, different constraints. What changes is machine size, containment, and how the schedule is built.
Residential
Garages, patios & interior slabs
- Compact machines that fit garages, hallways, and closets
- Heavy containment — homes have HVAC returns and living space next door
- Old garage paint, sealer, and tile thinset are the usual finds
- Typically one day, one crew, clean handoff to your coating installer
Commercial
Warehouses, retail & tenant improvements
- Ride-on and multi-head machines for production square footage
- Phased areas so trades keep moving and space gets released in sections
- Night and weekend work in occupied buildings
- Documented profile and photo record for the GC and coating manufacturer
Diagnosis
Problems We Solve
Uneven slabs
High spots and lippage that make flooring look and feel wrong.
Failed coatings
Peeling epoxy or paint that never had a real profile underneath.
Glue-covered floors
Carpet glue, mastic, and thinset left after demo.
Trip hazards
Raised joints and offsets in walkways and common areas.
Moisture-trapping old finishes
Sealers and films that block the slab from breathing.
Our process
Dust-Controlled Process
Dust-controlled grinding with shrouded equipment and HEPA filtration.
- Shrouds and dust skirts on every machine, tied directly into HEPA-filtered extraction sized to the grinder head.
- Pre-separators catch bulk fines so filters stay effective through the whole shift.
- Poly containment, protected doorways, and covered HVAC returns before the first pass.
- Final vacuum and wipe-down, then a profile check and photos of the finished slab.
Dust control is a system, not a promise of a dust-free environment. We contain, capture, and clean — and we tell you what to expect before we start.

Estimating
What Affects Pricing
Every slab is scoped in person or from photos and measurements. These are the factors that move a grinding bid up or down.
- 01
Square footage
Total area and how it is broken up — one open bay grinds faster per foot than ten small rooms.
- 02
Slab condition
Curling, patching, spalling, and how flat the pour started out.
- 03
Coatings or adhesives present
Thickness, type, and how aggressively they fight the diamonds.
- 04
Edge and detail work
Perimeters, door thresholds, columns, and stair noses are hand-ground.
- 05
Access & scheduling
Power availability, stairs, elevators, occupied space, and night or phased work.
