The basics

The slab is the floor

Polished concrete floors skip the coating altogether. Concrete polishing grinds the top of the slab with diamond tooling, coarse first and finer each pass, until the surface is flat and has a sheen. A hardener usually goes in along the way to toughen the surface.

You get a floor that is the concrete itself, all the way down.

Most Florida homes sit on a concrete slab. So under the carpet or tile in your living room there's usually a floor already waiting. Polishing makes that the finished floor.

It's for people who like the look of bare concrete and want a floor with no layer on it to wear through. You give up color choice. We polish concrete for homes and businesses from Brooksville across the five counties we serve.

Step by step

It starts with our grinder

The diamond grinder and dust extractor we use to prep our epoxy floors do the heavy work here too.

  1. Coarse grind

    Takes the top off the slab, along with old glue and paint spots.

  2. Hone

    Finer diamonds take out the scratches left by the pass before.

  3. Harden

    A densifier soaks into the concrete and makes the surface tougher.

  4. Polish

    The last passes bring up the shine, as glossy as you want it.

Cracks and patches

Polishing shows the slab's past

A coating covers a slab. Polishing shows it. Cracks, old patches, stains and the lines where tile used to sit all stay visible, softer, but there.

Some people love that. It reads like stone with a history. If you'd rather hide the slab, coat it with flake or a solid color instead.

Price guide

What polished concrete costs

Most polished floors land between $5 and $15 per square foot. The finish you pick sets the base price, and the work the slab needs before polishing adds to it.

Small rooms cost more per foot because of setup and labor minimums, and large commercial floors cost less.

Polished concrete questions

Still have a question? Call us at (352) 851-8506.

Most polished floors run $5 to $15 per square foot, so a 500 sq ft room comes to about $2,500 to $7,500. Matte is the lowest-priced finish and high gloss the highest, and repairs, prep and stains add to it. We price every job on its own, so tell us what's on the floor now when you ask for a quote.

Like any smooth, hard floor, it gets slick when wet. Dry, it has more grip than the shine suggests.

Most slabs can. What you end up with depends on the slab, because cracks and old patches stay visible after polishing. If that bothers you, a coating is the better call.

Grinding concrete makes fine dust. That's why our grinder runs with a dust extractor on it.

Polish if you like the slab and want nothing on top that can peel or chip. Coat it if you want to hide the slab or pick a color. For garages, a coating is usually the better call.
