Can current floor be fixed for Epoxy?

[bsambrano]

I'm looking into several different flooring options but I'm leaning towards epoxy but I'm unsure if my current floor can be prepped/fixed for epoxy.

There are a few hairline cracks and perimeter damage from old carpet nail strips that have been removed. I believe these can be fixed with epoxy patch/sealant and grinding so I'm not too concerned about these defects.

I'm more concerned about a crack that seems to be from tree roots and is slightly raised. Is it worth grinding this level and patching or will this just be a short term solution?

Also there seems to be some rust/metallic floor staining; will this come off with grinding?

The house was built in mid 50's...

If you are looking to hire a pro, a well prepped, patched and applied epoxy-poly system will handle all of your concerns.

P.S. I've seen and resurfaced much, much worse.

Good luck!

I would investigate what you think may be a tree root problem a little further. Roots will continue to grow and push up the concrete if the tree they belong to is still alive. If it's from a tree that's been removed, then it shouldn't be an issue.
