Case Study: Giving the Wohl Family's Walkway & Entryway a Fresh Start

First impressions begin before you ever step through the front door.

When the Wohl family reached out to Tru-Grit, their walkway and entryway had seen better days. A failing decorative overlay was peeling away from the concrete, creating an uneven appearance and leaving the surface vulnerable to further damage. Rather than covering up the problem, we restored the concrete from the ground up using a system built for long-term performance in Florida's climate.

The Challenge: A Failing Decorative Overlay

The existing decorative overlay had reached the end of its service life. As it continued to peel and separate from the concrete, the entryway lost both its appearance and its durability.

Before a new coating system could be installed, the failed material had to be completely removed so the new system could properly bond to a solid concrete surface.

The Solution: Start with a Solid Foundation

Every long-lasting coating system begins with proper preparation.

Our team recommended a complete restoration of the walkway and entryway, beginning with full removal of the existing overlay, repairing structural cracks, and rebuilding the surface before installing a premium NanoX Polyaspartic coating system.

The Process: Restoring the Entryway

The project was completed through a proven step-by-step process:

• Performed a full grind to completely remove the failing decorative overlay.

• Repaired structural cracks to restore the integrity of the concrete.

• Applied our Tru Moisture Blok 100% Solids Epoxy Float Coat to strengthen and rebuild the surface.

• Returned the following day to grind the float coat smooth for a uniform finish.

• Installed a pigmented NanoX Polyaspartic Base Coat.

• Broadcast the customer's selected Outback UV Polymer Flake blend.

• Applied a clear NanoX Polyaspartic Finish Coat.

• Finished the system with our DuraSafe Additive Package to improve slip resistance and long-term durability.

Why This System Works

A beautiful finish is only as good as the foundation beneath it.

By removing the failing overlay instead of coating over it, we created a stronger bond and a longer-lasting flooring system. Combined with our NanoX Polyaspartic technology and DuraSafe Additive Package, the Wohl family now has a walkway designed to withstand Florida's weather, daily foot traffic, and years of use.

The Outcome: A New First Impression

The finished entryway completely transformed the home's curb appeal while providing a safer, more durable surface for everyday use.

Backed by a 15-Year Warranty, the Wohl family's new Outback UV Polymer Flake system is built to welcome family and guests for years to come.
