Concrete Restoration by Blackline Coatings in Chicago and the western suburbs of Illinois. Concrete repair and restoration: crack chasing, spall repair, joints and full grind.
Cracked, pitted, spalled or patched over. We take the slab back to something worth finishing.
Plenty of the floors we are called out to are not ready for a coating and nobody has told the owner. Cracks move, joints have failed, the surface is spalling or somebody has skimmed over it. We repair the slab properly first: chase and fill the cracks, rebuild the edges and the joints, regrind the whole surface flat. Sometimes that is the whole job. Sometimes it is the first day of one.
- Cracks chased out and filled, not painted over
- Spalled surfaces and broken edges rebuilt
- Control joints cut back and refilled
- Full mechanical grind so the slab finishes flat
Whatever goes on top, the slab underneath gets the same treatment first. It is ground back mechanically, the cracks and joints are repaired, and the surface is made flat and open enough for the resin to key into. That is the part of the job that decides whether the floor lasts, and it is the part nobody photographs.
How much does concrete restoration cost?
It depends on the square footage and on what the slab needs before the coating goes down, which is why we quote in person. A floor that only needs a grind and a floor that needs crack repair and a rebuild are different jobs.
How long before I can use the floor?
Most installs are walk on the same evening and back in full use the next day. Polyaspartic cures fast, which is the main reason we build with it.
Do you work outside Chicago itself?
Yes. We are based in Elburn and we work across Chicago and the western suburbs, including Naperville, Hinsdale, Oak Brook, Wheaton, Geneva, St. Charles, Batavia and Aurora.
