Cracks, pits, flaking and chipped edges all get fixed with concrete floor repair before any coating goes on. We also strip and redo failing coatings in garages, shops and plants around Lethbridge.
Every repair is listed separately on your quote.
Concrete in Lethbridge freezes and thaws over and over each winter. A chinook melts the snow on the floor, and the next cold snap freezes it inside the concrete. Over a few winters, the surface flakes and pits, mostly near doors and under tires.
Our concrete floor repair grinds off the loose top, fills the pits with repair mortar and levels the floor. A coating then keeps the water out.
Lethbridge sits on silty soil that can settle when water gets under it. Slab corners near downspouts and garage aprons crack and drop. We fill cracks with a flexible filler or a rigid epoxy, depending on whether the crack is still moving.
If a slab has sunk a lot, we will say so. Some floors need lifting or replacing before patching makes sense.
A peeling coating usually means the slab was never ground. We grind off the loose layer, test the slab for moisture and build a new floor that bonds to the concrete. Small chips in a sound floor can often be spot fixed and recoated.
Because no two slabs fail the same way, every repair is quoted job by job.
The first few feet inside a garage or shop door take the most salt, melt and grit, so that is where the surface spalls. We cut back to sound concrete, fill with a fast setting repair mortar and grind it flush. Concrete floor repair at the doorway is one of our most common spring jobs.
Years of oil drips soak deep into concrete, and no coating will stick to oil. We grind off the top, treat the stain with degreaser and heat, and test whether oil is still coming up. Badly soaked spots are cut out and patched. This kind of work is common in older farm shops and South side garages.
Tire tracks in an older garage often show a row of small pits and exposed stones. Salt brine and grit wear away the surface paste until the gravel shows through. We grind the tracks level, fill each pit and skim the lane with repair mortar, and the tracks disappear under the new coating.
Concrete floor repair like this usually adds a few hours to a garage job, and it is priced as its own line on the quote.

Plenty of jobs here combine two systems, like a farm shop with an office upstairs or a garage with a basement gym.
Our garage floor coating locks out winter slush, road salt and oil drips while giving you a bright floor that sweeps clean in a minute. Each one is a ground, full flake system with a clear polyaspartic top layer.

Tractors, grain trucks, welders and pressure washers all share one floor, so a shop floor coating has to be thick, textured and hard to hurt. We lay it down in farm shops, truck shops and dealer service bays around Lethbridge County.

When a garage or showroom cannot sit empty for long, a polyaspartic floor coating hardens enough to walk on within hours and can usually take a vehicle the next day. It also stays clear in sunlight instead of turning yellow near the door.
