What coating removal covers, and why Austin floors need it
Austin is in Travis County along Interstate 35 and MoPac, with Hill Country limestone to the west and Blackland clay soils to the east. Concrete floors here are often a design choice: stained, dyed, waxed or topped with a thin cementitious overlay in homes, studios, restaurants and offices. Those finishes age, stain and scuff, and when the owner wants a new look, the old one has to come off properly.
Coating demo in Austin, handled like installers, not wreckers
In Austin we remove coatings for homeowners refreshing a stained floor, for restaurant and retail owners rebranding a space and for designers and builders who need an overlay or stain taken off before a new one. Decorative finishes are thin and delicate, so removal has to be controlled.
Remove and replace: strip the old coating, install the right one
In Austin the next step is usually a new stain, a different overlay or polished concrete. One crew, one schedule, one guaranteed remove-and-replace price, over prep we did ourselves.

After coating removal: every New Era system ready to go down in Austin
Once the Austin finish is gone, here are the floors the same crew can install.
Metallic Epoxy
Liquid-metal floors with depth and movement no two slabs share. A true showpiece for garages, showrooms and retail.
Flake Systems
Full-flake and partial-flake epoxy that hides wear, resists hot tires and cleans with a mop. The garage favorite.
Polished Concrete
Mechanically polished from 800 to 3000 grit. A mirror finish that is the concrete itself, so nothing peels or chips.
Industrial Coatings
Heavy-duty systems for warehouses and plants that take forklifts, chemicals and round-the-clock traffic for a decade plus.
ESD Flooring
Static-dissipative floors that protect electronics, lab and manufacturing environments from electrostatic discharge.
Stained Concrete
Rich, permanent color worked into the slab for a custom look indoors or out, sealed to last.
Why Austin calls the coating installers for coatings removal
A decorative floor is only as good as the slab it was built on.
- Stains, dyes and overlays each remove differently, so we test a corner before committing to a method.
- We find out whether color is in the concrete or in a topical sealer, which decides how much of the floor can be saved.
- Thin overlays and microtoppings are removed without chewing into the slab below.
- If an Austin floor only needs a clean and reseal, we say so and skip the full strip.
- Remove and replace in one project with one guaranteed price, backed by our written workmanship warranty.
- Established 2015, English and Spanish service end to end.
Surface prep and coating removal are core training at New Era Epoxy Academy's removal training, we teach this trade, not just sell it.
