Diamond Grinding & Prep for Tempe Homes
Check’s Epoxy has installed diamond grinding & prep across the East Valley since 2004, and Tempe is the oldest housing stock in the East Valley — neighborhoods platted and built from the 1940s through the 1980s, decades before most of the surrounding suburbs existed — which shapes the job more than most homeowners expect.
The number-one reason garage floor kits fail is preparation — a roll-on coating over a slick, sealed slab has nothing to grip. We fix that with mechanical diamond grinding: the slab is profiled and any failed coating is stripped back to bare, sound concrete.
Tempe’s slabs are the oldest we work on in the East Valley — many poured in the 1940s and 50s, decades before the newer suburbs around them broke ground. That means more settling, more cracking, and often a stack of old repairs and prior coatings to grind through before a new floor can bond.
