Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal in Seguin TX - a clean slab ready for the next floor
Peeling epoxy, old paint or glue residue on your concrete? We take it off so the next floor has bare slab to grip.
How do I get old epoxy, paint or glue off my concrete floor?
Concrete floor stripping and removal in Seguin, TX takes old epoxy, paint, glue residue and thin surface buildup off your slab, so the next coating bonds to clean concrete instead of to whatever failed before it.
Most calls to Seguin Epoxy Floors & Concrete Polishing about this start with a floor that's peeling, flaking or sticky with old glue, or a coating that's in the way of the floor you actually want. That layer has to come off before anything new goes on, and sometimes the slab under it needs concrete grinding and surface preparation as well.
The price moves with what's on the floor and how thick it is, the size and shape of the space and the finish you want afterward. The schedule turns mostly on whether an old coating has to be tested before we can grind and whether a permit comes into it, and you get your own figures in the written estimate I give you after I've walked the floor.
- We remove old epoxy, paint, glue residue and thin surface buildup from concrete floors.
- We strip down to bare, sound concrete and stop there, ready for whatever floor comes next.
- Homeowners call us, and so do small business owners who need a working floor back.
What happens after you call about stripping your floor?
I run every stripping job from the first look to the last walk-through, and our own crew does the work in between. Here's how it goes from your first call to a bare slab.
Call or send a message
Call (830) 340-0036 or use the form and tell us what's on the floor now and what you want there next. If you know the year your house was built, have it handy, since it matters when an old coating could be lead paint.
I check the slab myself
I come out, look at the floor, check the slab for moisture and cracks and ask how you use the space, and then you get a written estimate for your floor. If the slab isn't ready for the floor you want, I'll tell you that too.
We set a date and strip
If you go ahead, we set a date and our own crew does the stripping and prep with me running the job. If the plan includes a new coating, the install follows the prep.
We walk the floor together
Before we pack up, I walk the finished floor with you so you can see the bare slab or the new floor for yourself. Anything you want to ask about it, ask me then.

(830) 340-0036Questions about stripping concrete floors in Seguin
These are questions homeowners and business owners in Seguin ask before they let anyone take a grinder to their floor. If yours isn't here, ask me on the walk-through.
How much does concrete floor stripping cost in Seguin?
There's no flat price, because I price it off your floor once I've seen it, and your number comes in the written estimate. Thin paint and glue usually come up quicker than thick epoxy or several coats stacked on each other, and a big open room goes faster than a space full of tight edges and corners. Testing a suspect coating and a follow-up grinding pass for a smooth finish both add to it.
Do I need a permit to strip a concrete floor in Seguin?
The city's rules don't settle it for this job, because Seguin's no-permit list names painting and minor repairs but not floor stripping. The Building Official issues permits to alter, repair or demolish buildings, so before we start I check with the city's building office about your job. If they say a permit is needed, we apply for it as the contractor and you get a copy.
Can I strip my own concrete floor in Seguin?
You can if it's your own homestead, with the proper permits and following city codes. Seguin allows that when you own the house, live in it and have it registered as a homestead with the Guadalupe County Appraisal District. Removal throws silica dust, debris and noise either way, so if you hire it out, ask the crew, ours included, what dust extraction and breathing, eye and hearing protection it'll use.
How do I handle an old floor coating that might have lead or asbestos?
Have it tested first, before anyone grinds or blasts it, with qualified remediation if the test finds either one. If your house was built before 1978 and the coating is lead-based paint, the firm that disturbs it has to be EPA- or state-certified and use certified renovators who follow set work practices. Owners of a public building, or of a facility with more than a set amount of asbestos material being disturbed, also have to send notice to Texas DSHS on its form or online before the work begins.
What causes epoxy to peel off a concrete floor?
Usually it's prep, a coating put onto a slab that wasn't ground clean or checked for moisture, so it never got a real grip. Once it starts lifting, patches rarely hold for long, so the rest usually has to come off before a new floor goes down.
How long does it take to strip a concrete floor?
The floor sets the time, mainly its size, how many layers are on it and how hard they hold on, so I don't give you a time until I've walked it. A chemical stripper adds cleanup, and a rough method followed by a smooth finish adds a grinding pass, as the method cards above explain.
