What coating removal covers, and why San Antonio floors need it
San Antonio is in Bexar County, along Interstate 10, Interstate 35 and Loop 410, with a lot of older buildings in and around downtown, from shops and restaurants to churches and school facilities. Those floors carry decades of floor wax, acrylic sealer, paint and cementitious slurry, laid down one on top of another. Over time the layers become uneven and gummy, and new finishes will not stick.
Coating demo in San Antonio, handled like installers, not wreckers
In San Antonio we remove coatings for property owners in older commercial buildings, for contractors planning a refit and for homeowners who have discovered a thick finish under old flooring. Removing layered coatings takes patience, and the crew has to know which layer is bonded and which is not.
Remove and replace: strip the old coating, install the right one
In San Antonio the replacement is often polished concrete or a seamless coating over a clean slab. 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 San Antonio
After the San Antonio layers come off, 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 San Antonio calls the coating installers for coatings removal
Decades of layers have to come off before anything new will stay.
- Wax, sealer, paint and slurry each respond differently, so we test layers to find the order of removal.
- Parts of Bexar County sit over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone, which is one more reason we grind mechanically rather than rely on chemical strippers.
- Slurry coats and patch layers are removed to the real surface, not left in place.
- If a San Antonio finish is sound, we tell you and keep the scope small.
- 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.
