Polished Concrete, By a Named Finish Level

Warehouses and back-of-house areas usually do well with Level 1-2 for cost and function; retail, showrooms, and commercial kitchens often choose Level 3; lobbies and flagship spaces that want a true showpiece floor choose Level 4. We'll recommend a level at your free estimate based on how the space is actually used.

Not necessarily — gloss and slip resistance are separate properties. A slip-resistance additive can be broadcast into the topcoat at any finish level for wet areas or code-driven applications.

In most cases, yes — we grind through old coatings, adhesive, or tile as part of surface prep. We'll confirm feasibility once we've assessed the slab underneath.

Regular dust-mopping or auto-scrubbing with a pH-neutral cleaner, plus periodic diamond burnishing and guard/sealer reapplication every 1-3 years depending on traffic. No polished concrete floor is truly maintenance-free — we'll give you a real schedule for your finish level and traffic.

Yes — a 5-Year warranty, stated the same way across this entire site, with plain written exclusions.

See the directional per-square-foot pricing by finish level above — final cost depends on slab condition, existing coatings to remove, and any crack or moisture repair needed. Every quote is a fixed number given in writing before we start, not a bare estimate.

Yes — crack and spall repair, and removal of old tile, vinyl, or a failing coating, are handled as part of the same project, before we grind. We'll assess the slab and confirm what's feasible at your free estimate rather than guessing from a photo.

Polished concrete is a mechanical finish, not a wet coating, so light foot traffic can typically resume soon after the crew finishes for the day. If a guard coat or sealer topcoat is part of your finish, that layer needs its own cure time before heavier traffic or rolling loads — we'll walk you through the exact timing for your specific finish before we start.
