What coating removal covers, and why Katy floors need it
Katy sits along Interstate 10 and the Grand Parkway, in a corner of Harris County that also reaches into Fort Bend and Waller counties. It is a town of remodels: older homes getting new kitchens and baths, and newer homes where the original tile no longer suits the owner. Under that tile is a bed of thinset or adhesive that has to go before anything else can be installed.
Coating demo in Katy, handled like installers, not wreckers
Katy homeowners and remodel contractors call us when they lift a tile floor and find a rough, uneven bed stuck to the slab. Light-commercial tenants in the shopping centers along the Katy Freeway call about vinyl tile and adhesive left behind. The need is the same: a flat surface that can take the next floor.
Remove and replace: strip the old coating, install the right one
Many Katy remodels end with polished concrete, since the slab is already there and already flat after removal. 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 Katy
After removal, here are the finishes the same crew can install on a flat Katy slab.
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 Katy calls the coating installers for coatings removal
The bed under old tile decides whether the next floor stays down.
- Thinset and tile mortar are harder than most coatings, so we match diamond tooling to the bond instead of using a one-size-fits-all pass.
- We take the bed off without cutting into the slab, then check for low spots and fill them so the new floor sits flat.
- Katy remodels run on a contractor's calendar, so we coordinate around demolition, plumbing and the install crew.
- If your Katy tile is sound and you only want a different look, we may suggest covering it instead of tearing it out.
- 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.
Coating Removal in Katy FAQ
How much does coating removal cost in Katy?
It depends on the tile type, how thick the thinset bed is and the square footage of the room. We come out, assess and give guaranteed pricing at no cost, removal only or remove-and-replace. Call (832) 253-3211 for your free Katy assessment.
Can you remove tile and thinset from a Katy slab?
Yes. We take up ceramic, porcelain and stone tile, then grind off the thinset and mortar left on the concrete. Call (832) 253-3211.
How do you remove floor coatings?
Mechanically, with commercial diamond grinders, down to sound, clean concrete, then crack and spall repair so the slab is profiled and ready. We never rely on chemical strippers as the main method. Book at (832) 253-3211.
Can I chip tile and thinset off a Katy floor myself?
You can, but chipping tends to gouge the slab and leave an uneven surface that needs patching. Machines remove the bed evenly. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free look.
Do tile jobs make dust in a Katy home?
Grinding makes fine dust, which is why we use collection on the machines and contain the work area. Call (832) 253-3211.
Can you coordinate with my Katy remodel contractor?
Yes. We work to the contractor's schedule so the slab is ready when flooring arrives. Call (832) 253-3211 to coordinate.
How long does it take to clear tile from a Katy room?
A kitchen or living area is often finished in about a day, and the exact time depends on how thick the bed is. Call (832) 253-3211.
How long does coating removal take?
Thin coatings and single garages often finish in about a day; thicker builds and larger commercial floors get phased so your operation keeps moving. Exact schedule on your free Katy assessment, (832) 253-3211.
Is coating removal dusty?
We grind with dust collection running on the machines and contain the work area, so the job stays controlled even inside finished Katy homes and businesses. Call (832) 253-3211.
Is epoxy removal in Katy a separate service?
Epoxy is a different coating and needs its own process. If your Katy floor has epoxy, call (832) 253-3211 and we will point you to it.
Will removing tile damage the Katy slab beneath?
Not when it is done correctly. We take off the tile and the bed, not the slab, and we repair cracks or holes uncovered along the way. Call (832) 253-3211.
What should I put down after tile comes up in Katy?
Polished concrete, a seamless coating, new tile or luxury plank all work on a flat slab. We explain how each behaves and quote the remove-and-replace as one price. Call (832) 253-3211.
