Real flooring projects, the conditions we found and how the work was completed. Each study includes a downloadable PDF with the project details.
Walpole, Massachusetts
Burlington
Recovering a retail slab for polished concrete
25,000 SF • Polished concrete and sealed warehouse • Completed February 2026
Layers of self-leveling underlayment, mastic and epoxy covered the existing slab. Topcoat removed the old systems and completed a full-exposure polished sales floor with a separately sealed warehouse, eliminating the planned polishable overlay.
Confidential food manufacturing facility
Production Staging Area 2
Recovering a failing floor before the production restart
1,700 SF • Resinous flooring • Completed June 2026
The planned overlay changed once prep revealed saturated, delaminating epoxy mortar under the floor. Topcoat stopped, reviewed the options with the general contractor, removed the failing mortar, re-prepped the slab and installed the Hybri-Flex MQ system. The case study reports the room was turned over on schedule for the production restart.
Hyannis, Massachusetts
Cape Cod Hospital Parking Deck
Rebuilding a hospital deck’s waterproofing system
14,500 SF • Neogard Auto-Gard FC traffic-bearing system • Completed May 2025
Water was migrating through the aging parking deck into the Emergency Department below. Topcoat completed full-depth repairs where required, prepared the deck, sealed cracks and joints, and installed a traffic-bearing waterproofing system across the deck and ramps. The case study reports that the ER leak was eliminated.
Framingham, Massachusetts
L.L. Bean Outlet
Polishing a difficult existing slab
18,000 SF • Mechanical concrete polishing • Completed July 2025
Thinset, patching and uneven slab transitions had led to a planned overlay. Topcoat removed the existing material, addressed transitions and mechanically polished the concrete, eliminating the planned full-floor overlay. The case study reports completion on schedule.
