Concrete Grinding in Toronto and the GTA
Concrete grinding is the prep step that makes every floor last. At H&H Flooring, we use professional diamond grinding to smooth rough concrete surfaces, strip old coatings and adhesives, and profile the slab so your new floor or coating bonds properly across Toronto and the GTA.
Whether you are getting ready for epoxy coatings, polished concrete, or new flooring, proper surface preparation is what makes the finish stick and stay. It is also the most efficient way to repair surface damage without replacing the slab.
What concrete grinding is for
The grinding process does the unglamorous work that decides whether a coating or floor holds up. It takes out imperfections, opens the concrete surface for bonding, and is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that ends up peeling.
Surface Prep for Coatings
We profile the slab so epoxy, polyurethane, and other coatings grip and bond the way they should.
Coating & Adhesive Removal
Grinding removes old paint, epoxy, glue, and adhesives to expose a sound, clean surface.
Smoothing High Spots
We grind down ridges, trowel marks, and high spots to create a smooth, even concrete floor.
Trip-Hazard Removal
We grind lips, rough edges, and uneven joints to remove trip hazards in high traffic areas.
Surface Damage Repair
Grinding clears staining and minor surface damage, and opens cracks so they can be properly repaired.
Where we grind
From a basement floor at home to industrial floors that take daily wear and tear, we match the grinding method to the space and its specific needs.
Garages & Basements
Prep a garage or basement floor for epoxy, or grind a rough slab to a clean, smooth concrete finish at home.
Warehouses
Level and profile large industrial slabs so coatings stand up to forklifts, heavy traffic, and constant wear.
Retail & Commercial
Strip old flooring and adhesives in shops, offices, and commercial kitchens, then prep for the next finish.
Before Flooring
Smooth and clean the slab before new tile, vinyl, or self-levelling underlayment goes down.
Grinding is step one of concrete polishing
Concrete grinding and concrete polishing are stages of the same process. Grinding with coarse diamonds prepares the surface, and polishing carries on through finer grits until dull concrete takes on a smooth, reflective shine. If that is the finish you want, see our polished concrete service.
From Dull to Glossy
Progressively finer grits transform dull concrete into a satin or high gloss surface.
Durable by Design
A ground, polished, and sealed slab resists wear, moisture, and staining, so busy floors remain easy to maintain.
The Look of Stone
Polished concrete can carry the aesthetics of granite or marble while staying seamless and durable.
Our grinding process
A careful preparation process, run with professional equipment and precision, is how we deliver exceptional results on every job.
Assess the Slab
We check the concrete, existing coatings, moisture, and what the floor needs to do next.
Diamond Grind
We grind with diamond tooling on purpose-built machines, not hand-held angle grinders, to the right profile for the finish.
Dust-Free Extraction
Our equipment runs with vacuum extraction that captures dust at the source for a clean job site.
Profile & Clean
We detail the edges and leave a clean, profiled surface ready for coating, polishing, or flooring.
