Coating Concrete That Has Been Down a While
Older concrete is rarely flat, clean and sound all at once, and none of that rules it out. Cracks get cut out and filled, spalled and pitted areas are brought back level, and anything previously laid over the slab comes off in the grinding stage. The repairs are filled and leveled so they disappear under the system rather than telegraphing through the finish, which is what separates a coated floor from a patched one.
Beyond the house, a lot of Mesa concrete is doing harder work than a living room floor. Detached workshops, larger vehicle bays and shop floors where the surface takes point loads, dropped tools and wheeled equipment. The flake build carries heavy foot traffic and light vehicle traffic, which is why the same system goes into commercial garages as readily as it goes into a hallway. The full detail is on our Phoenix page: how an epoxy floor is built up from the slab.
