Why Professional Concrete Polishing Matters
The quality of concrete polishing directly impacts both appearance and performance. Poor polishing techniques can result in:
- Uneven finishes and inconsistent sheen levels
- Reduced surface strength and premature wear
- Dust and particle retention in improperly sealed surfaces
- Higher long-term maintenance costs
- Slippery surfaces that create safety hazards
Concrete Polishing Techniques & Finishes
Grind & Hone Systems
Progressive diamond grinding creates smooth, refined surfaces:
- Light Grinding (400-800 grit): Removes surface imperfections and creates matte finishes
- Medium Grinding (800-1500 grit): Achieves smooth surfaces with subtle sheen
- Fine Grinding (1500-3000 grit): Produces high-gloss finishes approaching marble quality
- Ultra-Fine Grinding (3000+ grit): Creates mirror-like surfaces with exceptional clarity
- Hybrid Systems: Combining grinding with chemical densification for enhanced performance
Exposed Aggregate Polishing
Strategic aggregate exposure creates natural, decorative polished surfaces:
- Light Exposure: Subtle aggregate reveal maintaining smooth walking surfaces
- Medium Exposure: Balanced aggregate visibility with enhanced traction
- Heavy Exposure: Dramatic stone reveals creating natural, rustic appeal
- Selective Exposure: Artistic patterns and designs revealed through polishing
- Polished Aggregate: High-gloss aggregate surfaces with reflective properties
Decorative Polishing Effects
Advanced techniques creating unique aesthetic and functional properties:
- Color Enhancement: Chemical treatments highlighting natural concrete colors
- Guard Patterns: Decorative scoring and borders integrated with polished surfaces

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our concrete polishing services in Lewisville, TX
How long does concrete polishing take?
Most residential polishing projects complete in 3-7 days depending on size and finish level. Commercial projects may take 1-2 weeks. The process includes surface preparation, multi-stage grinding, densification, and sealing. We can often work around your schedule to minimize disruption.
Can you polish existing concrete or does it have to be new?
We can polish both new and existing concrete. However, existing concrete may require additional preparation to remove old sealers, repair damage, or address moisture issues. New concrete generally achieves better results and requires less preparation work.
Is polished concrete slippery?
Properly polished concrete can be made slip-resistant. We adjust the finish level and can add anti-slip treatments if needed. Most polished concrete has better traction than tile or stone when properly finished. We can test slip resistance to meet safety requirements.
How much does concrete polishing cost?
Polishing costs range from $3-8 per square foot depending on concrete condition, finish level, and project complexity. Basic polishing starts around $3/sq ft, while decorative or high-gloss finishes range from $5-8/sq ft. Costs are significantly lower than installing new flooring materials.
How do you maintain polished concrete?
Polished concrete requires minimal maintenance: regular dust mopping, occasional damp mopping with pH-neutral cleaners, and periodic resealing every 2-5 years. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or acidic materials. Professional reconditioning every few years maintains the original appearance.
Can polished concrete be damaged?
While highly durable, polished concrete can be scratched by sharp objects or damaged by heavy impacts. Normal foot traffic, furniture movement, and general use won't damage polished concrete. We recommend using protective pads on furniture legs and avoiding dragging heavy objects across the surface.
