Concrete Grind, Polish and Seal

You may wonder what this service does. We concrete grind, polish and

seal your concrete whether new or existing. By resurfacing your

concrete, it exposes the character of aggregate, or stone, and that

creates a featured floor or wall.<br>

<br>

There are many variations to this process and you may have heard of

names such as ‘Polished Concrete Floor,’ ‘Terrazzo finish,’ or simply

concrete grinding. We take it a step further and seal the concrete to

protect the surface. There is a range of seal finish options for our

customers to choose from, and they range from a natural finish all the

way to a gloss coating.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>

Grinding is the process that will resurface the face of the concrete in

order to smooth out uneven high points and will also expose the

aggregate to the desired finish. We achieve the ‘Salt and Pepper

finish’ by not exposing too much of the aggregate as it smoothes and

lightly cuts into the top cement layer. By doing this we keep the

‘concrete’ look and the results show more cross-sections of the

aggregate.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>

Polishing does exactly that; and is the process of changing the rough

surface of the concrete to the desired smooth level. We use diamond

surfacing equipment to achieve the sheen surface that results in the

almost mirror finish and gives us the desired effect.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>

Our customers must select the level of grinding, or depth of cut, and

we help them determine the grade of polish or sheen. Our technicians

are cautious while <a

and polishing</a> and always use protective masking used to cover

the surrounding walls or other flooring until they finish the job. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>

There is still one more step to take when you want the deluxe mirror

finish, and the range of finishes vary widely depending on your

concrete and the finish you desire. It is very important that you

understand that every slab of concrete is different, and it depends on

the ingredients used in the original concrete mix. Also important is

the way the concrete was installed, placed, and even the humidity and

temperature on that very day.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>

The one question customers always ask is, “How long will it last?” You

can expect a long life as long as the concrete has been cared for

correctly. It must be sealed initially, and then it may require

resealing periodically. Your technician can instruct you on the best

way to care for your surface. <br>

Bathroom Grout Getting You Down?

Your grout color can change the way your bathroom looks and feels. Over time, grout can become stained by dirt and grime, preventing it from returning to its original luster despite repeated cleanings.  Brighten up your bathroom by changing your grout color, and apply a tile grout sealer to protect your grout, keeping your bathroom clean and vibrant.

Keeping Your Kitchen Clean

Your kitchen surfaces need more than just a wipe down to ensure proper sanitation.  Cleaning tile grout is very important to maintain proper hygiene. Over time, the grout seal begins to wear away and the porous surface of the grout absorbs bacteria, dirt and mold.  A thorough steam cleaning and applying a tile grout sealer can prevent your grout form absorbing these elements and keep your kitchen clean and safe.

Get Creative With Your Floor Surfaces

Adding a unique touch to your floor surfaces could be as easy as pulling up that old wood or carpet and exposing your concrete floor.  Through the process of concrete grinding, diamond technology is used to even the surface of the concrete, exposes its beautiful character.  The concrete can then be polished an sealed, ranging from slightly glossy to an almost mirror like finish.  These Terrazzo Floors are a great compliment to any home, office or art studio.

Get Stains Out of Your Driveway

If you are a homeowner, there is a good chance you have concrete staining in your driveway left by oil, dirt or wear and tear from the environment.  If you want to restore your concrete instead of replacing it, consider an acid concrete stain treatment.  This eco-friendly method lifts dirt and soils from your driveway and restores the original concrete color.

Restore Your Dull Concrete - Don’t Replace It

Replacing your concrete driveway, floor or path can be expensive and in many cases, unnecessary.  To avoid this, we suggest a concrete color staining, which is a process that restores your concrete by stripping the surface and exposing the pores.  Once prepared, the concrete color stain is applied using two coats to ensure the concrete color is even and colored properly.  With several finishes and colors to choose from, restoration can leave your concrete looking brand new and at a fraction of the cost.
