Polished concrete offers a high gloss finish without the need for waxing, making it a popular choice across various settings, including offices, retail spaces, industrial facilities, and warehouses. In Hudson Valley, homeowners are embracing this flooring option for its aesthetic appeal, resembling polished stone.
One of the appealing aspects of polished concrete is its customizable sheen, allowing you to select the level that suits your aesthetic preferences and maintenance needs. Achieving this involves a multi-step process, including concrete grinding, for which we utilize top-tier equipment to ensure optimal results.

In Hudson Valley, both old and new concrete floors in your home or business can benefit from polished concrete installation, provided they are structurally sound. For newly poured concrete surfaces, it's essential that they are flatly installed and cured for at least 28 days before polishing to achieve optimal results.
Existing concrete floors require thorough surface preparation to ensure successful polished concrete installation. This involves removing any grease, dirt, blemishes, or old coatings. Additionally, if the concrete surface is uneven, patching is necessary to create a smooth substrate.
Once the concrete has been cleaned and leveled, a grinding process begins, where the stones in the concrete are exposed. We start with a coarse diamond grind and move to a finer one with each pass to achieve the desired stone exposure. Once the stones are exposed, the concrete polishing and hardening process begins.
A properly installed , sealed, and maintained polished concrete floor can be expected to last a hundred years or more in the harshest environments. Its life-span will far surpass that of other floor covering solutions. That means in the long run you can save money by not having to replace other floor covering materials. However, subpar installation may result in an unfinished and untidy appearance. To ensure superior results, trust only the top polished concrete installers in Hudson Valley.
