Cleveland is Northeast Ohio's economic and cultural heartbeat — and its homeowners and businesses deserve a flooring contractor with the same commitment to excellence.

Cleveland's diverse housing stock — from historic West Side Market-adjacent homes to modern University Circle condos and expansive Brecksville estates — presents every kind of concrete substrate challenge. Our experience across hundreds of Northeast Ohio installations means we've seen every condition: high-moisture lakefront slabs, century-old basement concrete, new construction garage floors, and everything in between.

Key Features
Precision-Flat Final Surface
Our self-leveling compound cures to a mirror-flat plane within a small fraction of an inch across the entire slab — the substrate standard required for premium epoxy, tile, or luxury vinyl flooring.
Corrects Uneven, Heaved, Settled Slabs
Fills low spots, flattens high spots, and restores a single uniform plane — critical for homes and commercial spaces with decades of freeze-thaw-driven slab movement.
Fixes Spalled, Pitted, & Damaged Concrete
Surface defects that would telegraph through any finish floor — pitting, spalling, minor crack networks, deteriorated surface layer — are permanently covered by a strong, bonded overlay.
Mechanical Surface Preparation
Shot blasting or diamond grinding removes existing coatings, laitance, and contaminants before the overlay is poured — ensuring a permanent bond between the old slab and the new pour.
Bonding Primer System
A specialty bonding primer is applied across the entire slab before the self-leveler is placed, chemically locking the new overlay to the existing concrete for long-term performance.
Thickness Engineered to the Application
Thickness ranges from 1/8 inch (feather-finish leveling) to 2+ inches (structural overlay), engineered to the specific condition of your slab and the finish floor that will follow.
Fast Cure, Fast Return to Service
Self-leveling overlays cure fast — light foot traffic is typically possible within 4 hours, and finish flooring can often be installed within 24–48 hours depending on thickness and product.
Cleveland Project Details
How It Works in Cleveland
Our Installation Process
The same professional process we use on every Cuyahoga County project — no shortcuts.
Slab Assessment & Free Estimate
We visit your property, measure the slab, inspect for cracks and structural concerns, confirm the finish flooring you intend to install, and specify the required overlay thickness. Estimate includes transparent itemized pricing.
Mechanical Surface Preparation
Shot blasting or diamond grinding removes existing coatings, laitance, and surface contaminants, opening the concrete profile and creating the clean, sound substrate self-leveling compound requires to bond permanently.
Crack & Joint Treatment
Cracks are routed and filled with semi-rigid polyurea or epoxy filler. Expansion joints are treated per manufacturer spec. Any through-slab penetrations are addressed so they don't telegraph through the overlay.
Bonding Primer Application
A specialty bonding primer is applied across the entire slab, creating the chemical interface that locks the new overlay to the existing concrete for long-term structural bond.
Self-Leveling Compound Pour
The self-leveler is mixed to calibrated water ratios, placed by pump or bucket, spread with experienced spike-roller and gauge-rake technique, and allowed to flow to its designed thickness. Grade control and edge shoring ensure a flawless final plane.
Cure, Inspect, Hand-Off
The overlay cures under controlled conditions. We verify flatness, inspect bond quality at edges, and confirm the slab is ready for its next phase — whether that's our own epoxy system or another contractor's finish flooring.
