ACT Restoration | Floor Prep

Floor Prep Experts Serving the Twin Cities

Floor damage is a natural part of wear and tear in residential homes and commercial facilities alike. Whether your floor is 100 or 60,000 square feet, ACT Restoration is ready to prepare it for its next finish or covering with expert care.

Our team uses Minnesota’s proven best method for concrete floor prep: the wet grind method with diamond abrasives. Unlike traditional dry grinding, our wet grind process uses water as a lubricant and dust suppressant, capturing 100% of airborne silica dust and creating a safer, cleaner environment for your family, employees, or customers.

This wet-grinding technique results in a smoother, flatter surface and minimizes the risk of dust inhalation. It also extends the life of our diamond tooling and enables more aggressive, precise grinding to prepare your concrete for the next step.

Our Full Floor Prep Service Offering

ACT Restoration’s floor prep services are comprehensive and tailored to the unique conditions of your property. 

We tackle all preparation needs to ensure a perfect foundation for coatings and coverings:

  • Tile and VCT removal
  • Shot blasting
  • Carpet removal and glue removal
  • Self-leveler installation
  • Profile grinding
  • Moisture mitigation

We also remove old flooring, adhesives, and mastic, and prepare concrete steps or uneven surfaces with precision.

ACT’s wet grind process delivers superior results for concrete floors by cooling grinding discs, reducing friction, and blending dust with water to create a slurry for easy cleanup. This technique preserves indoor air quality and environmental health while providing an ideal surface for coatings or new flooring.

Why Choose Wet Grinding for Your Floor Prep?

  • Dust-free environment: Wet grinding captures dust before it can become airborne, eliminating silicosis and other respiratory risks.
  • Smoother finish: The water lubricant produces an even, level floor better prepared for coatings and coverings.
  • Environmental benefits: The slurry generated is recyclable and safer than airborne dust common in dry grinding.
  • Extended tooling life: Diamond abrasives last longer as water cools, reducing wear and glazing.
  • Versatility: Ideal for residential and commercial sites that require careful preparation before installing new floors or coatings.

Trust ACT Restoration’s experienced team to deliver floor prep with the industry’s safest, most effective wet-grind method, enhancing your floor’s durability and appearance.
