I have a concrete floor in my basement that I either want to lay tile on or paint/stain. I nearly fired my contractor over the terrible concrete work they did in my basement. It's uneven and has sealer on it, at least where it stuck anyway. I imagine all the sealer will need to be removed whether I put tile down or paint/stain it.
We looked at Menards today and they have Dutch Boy concrete paint that we liked. They have a slip resistant variety as well. Do any of you guys know of an outfit that grinds concrete in the Lafayette area? I want someone with the proper dust collection equipment to minimalize any dust. My wife will have a fit if it's too dusty.
I watched some youtube videos on stripping sealer and it doesn't look like chemical strippers will be any easier or better than actual grinding. I want this done right the first time and avoid future adhesion problems due to lack of prep work.
The area that will be painted is roughly 800 sf and I have another room that probably won't get painted that is roughly 400 sf.
