Concrete Grinding & Sealing in Metro Vancouver

Remove worn surface material, prepare the concrete and choose a finish around the way your space is used.


Give worn concrete a fresh start

Western Canada Coatings provides concrete grinding, surface preparation and sealing for garages, commercial spaces and industrial properties across Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.

We grind the existing surface to remove worn material and prepare the concrete for its next finish. The right approach depends on what is on the floor now, the condition underneath and how you need the space to work.

Some customers want the appearance of exposed concrete with a suitable sealer. Others need preparation for an epoxy or another coating system. We assess those requirements before recommending the scope.

Grind and seal

Keep the character of the concrete and discuss a sealer suited to the expected traffic, cleaning and appearance. Existing patches and natural variation may remain visible.

Renew a worn surface

Assess an old or failing finish, identify the removal and repair work required, and agree the preparation needed before applying a new system.

What we assess before quoting

  • Current floor: existing coatings, residues, damage and areas that need repair.
  • Size and access: approximate floor area, edges, equipment access and items to move.
  • Use of the space: foot or vehicle traffic, cleaning routines and exposure to water or chemicals.
  • Appearance: exposed concrete, colour, texture and the finish you have in mind.
  • Timing: working hours, access restrictions and when the space needs to reopen.

For an occupied property, we also discuss how to separate the work area and coordinate the preparation with other trades or daily operations.

Questions about concrete grinding and sealing

How much does it cost?

The price depends on the floor area, existing material, removal effort, repairs, access and selected finish. Send the project city, approximate size and current floor condition so we can determine the next step for an estimate.

Will every mark or patch disappear?

The final appearance depends on the slab. Grinding can reveal aggregate, repairs and variations in the concrete. We discuss those expectations and the finish options before work begins.

Is a ground floor the same as polished concrete?

Grinding is a preparation step. Polished concrete uses a separate finishing process. A grind-and-seal finish and a polished finish should be discussed as different scopes, with the intended appearance clearly agreed.

When can the floor be used again?

Return-to-use timing depends on the preparation, repairs, selected sealer or coating and site conditions. We confirm the access plan and product-specific requirements for your project.
