Our Polishing Process
We transform ordinary concrete floors into stunning, durable surfaces through our proven multi-step polishing process. Our expert technicians use industrial-grade equipment and premium materials to deliver exceptional results that enhance both aesthetics and functionality.
Assessment and Repair
We begin with a thorough inspection of your concrete surface to identify cracks, chips, or other damage. Our team carefully documents all areas requiring attention and develops a targeted repair plan.
Small cracks are filled with high-strength epoxy, while larger damage may need concrete patching compounds. We repair all surface imperfections to ensure a smooth, uniform finish.
We test the concrete's density and hardness to determine the optimal grinding approach and whether densifier application is needed.
Grinding and Polishing
Our process starts with coarse diamond grinding to remove surface imperfections and expose the aggregate as desired. Each subsequent grinding step uses progressively finer diamond grits.
We apply a professional-grade concrete densifier between grinding stages to chemically harden the surface. This strengthens the concrete and helps achieve a higher polish.
The floor undergoes multiple polishing passes with increasingly fine diamond pads, typically ranging from 50-grit to 3000-grit depending on the desired shine level.
Finishing and Protection
A penetrating sealer is applied to protect against stains and moisture while maintaining the polished appearance. The sealer bonds with the concrete at a molecular level.
We incorporate stain guards and surface hardeners to enhance durability and reduce maintenance needs.
Final burnishing with ultra-fine pads brings out the maximum gloss and clarity. The completed floor resists scratches, chemicals, and heavy foot traffic. Regular maintenance with proper cleaning solutions and occasional re-polishing will keep the surface looking pristine for years to come.
How to Maintain Your Concrete Floors
Polished concrete floors can maintain their pristine appearance and durability for decades with proper care and attention to maintenance protocols.
Routine Maintenance
Regular dust mopping prevents abrasive particles from scratching the surface. We recommend using a microfiber mop daily in high-traffic areas.
Clean spills immediately with pH-neutral cleaners to prevent staining. Avoid harsh chemicals or acidic solutions that could damage the concrete's finish.
Apply a penetrating sealer every 3-5 years to protect against moisture and stains. Our team uses commercial-grade sealers designed specifically for polished concrete.
Weekly wet mopping with clean water helps maintain the floor's shine. Remember to change the water frequently to avoid spreading dirt across the surface.
Addressing Damage and Wear
Small chips or cracks require prompt attention to prevent further deterioration. We can repair minor damage using specialized concrete patching compounds.
High-traffic paths may develop dull areas over time. Our restoration process includes re-polishing these sections to match the surrounding floor.
Stains need specific treatment based on their type. Oil-based stains require different solutions than organic or rust stains.

Low Maintenance
Regular cleaning only requires dust mopping and occasional damp mopping with pH-neutral cleaners. The non-porous surface resists stains and prevents dirt from becoming embedded.
No waxing or coating applications are needed to maintain the shine. The polished finish eliminates the need for expensive stripping and resealing treatments common with other flooring types.

Daily maintenance costs remain minimal since harsh chemicals and specialized cleaning equipment aren't necessary. Our professional polishing creates a surface that stays beautiful with simple, straightforward care.
Durability
Polished concrete stands up to heavy foot traffic and industrial equipment without showing wear. The mechanical polishing process actually strengthens the concrete surface, making it more resistant to impacts and abrasion.
Our professional concrete polishing methods create a dense, compact surface that prevents moisture penetration and chemical damage. This enhanced durability means polished floors can last for decades with proper care.

The reinforced surface eliminates concrete dusting and reduces the risk of cracking. We achieve this through our multi-step polishing process that progressively refines the concrete to create an incredibly strong finish.
