Our concrete polishing process
- Free on-site quote. Call (404) 480-0962 or request one online. We look at your actual slab, not a photo.
- Strip and repair. We lift old tile, adhesive, coatings or sealers, then fill cracks and patch spalling and damage.
- Coarse grinding. Coarse diamond tooling takes out high spots and surface imperfections and opens the concrete up.
- Honing and densifying. Finer diamonds smooth the slab while a densifier hardens it against wear and moisture.
- Polish and seal. Progressively finer grits bring the floor to your chosen sheen, then we seal it and walk the job with you before we leave.
Lawrenceville polished concrete: common questions
Can you polish the slab under old tile or carpet?
In most cases yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do in older Lawrenceville buildings. We lift the covering, grind off the adhesive residue and assess what is underneath. Slabs that spent decades protected under tile are often in better shape than exposed ones. If the concrete turns out too patchy for a true polish, we will tell you and suggest grind and seal or an overlay instead.
Can you work in a store or restaurant that stays open?
Yes. We section off work zones, run dust-controlled grinders and put the noisiest stages outside your trading hours. A good deal of our Lawrenceville retail and restaurant work happens overnight or across a weekend so the doors open as normal on Monday.
How does polished concrete compare with epoxy?
Polishing works the slab itself, so there is no coating that can peel, and it lasts far longer with less upkeep. Epoxy makes more sense when you need chemical resistance, a specific color or a seamless waterproof surface. For most Lawrenceville offices, showrooms and homes, polishing is the better long-term value.
Do you polish residential floors as well as commercial?
Yes. Basements, main living areas, sunrooms and garages all polish well, and homeowners across Lawrenceville pick it for the low upkeep and because it will not trap allergens the way carpet does. Most residential jobs are finished in two to three days.
