If your floor is peeling, soft, or full of tire marks, proper epoxy removal is the only way to get a coating that lasts. Elite Epoxy Miami has served Miami since 2016, removing failed coatings and recoating concrete with industrial-grade epoxy, polyaspartic, and urethane systems.
Removal starts with the slab, not the topcoat. We inspect adhesion, moisture risk, and contamination (oil, silicone, tire plasticizers), then choose the right method: diamond grinding with HEPA dust control, shot blasting for dense laitance, or a combo to reach clean, open concrete. Failed epoxy, paint, acrylic sealers, and hot-tire pickup residue are mechanically removed to a sound profile, then we edge-grind perimeters and detail around control joints and drains so the new system bonds everywhere it needs to.
In South Florida, heat, humidity, and vapor drive can wreck a recoat if the base is not handled correctly. We moisture-test and can install an epoxy moisture-mitigation primer when readings or conditions call for it, then rebuild the system with the right film build and slip resistance for the space. Options include solid-color epoxy with a urethane topcoat, decorative vinyl flake broadcast with a polyaspartic topcoat, or a quartz broadcast for wet areas, all finished in satin or gloss with aluminum-oxide traction additive when needed.
Miami customers hire us because removal is messy, technical work, and shortcuts show fast. Our crews use commercial grinders, proper diamond tooling, and dust extraction, and we do not “sand and paint” over failing epoxy. You get a clear scope that separates prep, crack repair, joint treatment, and coating layers, plus realistic cure times and access planning for garages, warehouses, restaurants, and mechanical rooms. We are licensed and insured, and we provide a free written estimate with product system options based on your use and budget.
Before we leave, we do a full walkthrough and confirm coverage, uniform texture, clean edges, and proper cure status. You receive care and cleaning guidance (pH-neutral cleaner, no harsh degreasers during early cure), recoat windows for future maintenance, and recommendations for mats, floor drains, and tire heat if applicable. Expect a floor that is mechanically bonded to prepared concrete, built in defined coats, and ready for daily traffic, not a cosmetic patch over old problems. When you need epoxy removal and recoating done once, with the right prep and the right system, we make the process straightforward from estimate to final handoff.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate with a recommended coating system, prep scope, and scheduling notes after an on-site assessment.
Sometimes, but only after testing adhesion and identifying the existing material. In many cases we mechanically remove failing paint or coatings with diamond grinding to avoid delamination.
Timing depends on the system and conditions. Many projects allow light foot traffic within about 24 hours, with vehicle traffic typically after 48-72 hours, but we confirm cure windows in writing for your install.
Yes. We typically chase, clean, and fill cracks with epoxy or polyurea repair materials, then grind flush before applying the coating system. Some movement cracks can telegraph over time, which we explain up front.
Sweep or dust-mop routinely and wet mop with a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh acids and soap-heavy products that leave residue, and use pads under jacks or kickstands to prevent point-load damage.
Epoxy removal is the critical first step when an existing floor coating is peeling, bubbling, soft, stained, or showing hot-tire pickup. A new coating system can only perform as well as the surface beneath it, so we focus on mechanical removal down to sound concrete, then rebuild the floor with a system matched to your traffic, chemicals, and cleaning routine. Elite Epoxy Miami removes failed epoxy, paint, and old sealers and installs new epoxy, polyaspartic, and urethane topcoats for garages, commercial spaces, and industrial floors across Miami, FL.
Most coating failures trace back to poor prep: glossy epoxy left in place, contaminants driven into the slab, or a weak surface layer (laitance) never removed. Our epoxy removal process targets adhesion at the source, using diamond tooling and edging to reach corners, stem walls, and tight transitions. We repair spalls and cracks with epoxy mortar or polymer-modified repair materials, then address control joints appropriately so the floor moves without telegraphing defects.
Miami’s humidity and slab moisture make recoating more technical than a simple “scuff and recoat.” We evaluate conditions, then apply the right primer and basecoat, followed by a broadcast (flake or quartz) or a smooth build, and a durable topcoat such as polyaspartic or aliphatic urethane for UV stability and chemical resistance. Slip resistance can be tuned with aluminum oxide or polymer grit to fit garages, showrooms, kitchens, and warehouse aisles.
If you are comparing contractors for epoxy removal in Miami, ask what mechanical prep they use, how they control dust, and whether they moisture-test before recoating. We provide a written plan with the coating stack (primer, base, broadcast, topcoat), expected cure times, and care instructions so you know exactly what you are getting.
