Are you envisioning a rustic, industrial look for your Houston warehouse, garage, home, or retail space? Do you want to have the look of concrete, but without the price tag?
Grind and Seal is a cost-effective flooring solution that enhances and strengthens your concrete floors. The process is quick and simple, but the end result is visually appealing and durable concrete floor. It consists of mechanically grinding the concrete floor to remove stains, oils, coatings and dirt and then sealing the clean surface with a clear UV stable protective topcoat. Grind and seal allows you to add color and shine while preserving the natural beauty of concrete.
It’s a quick, affordable system that makes your floors easy to clean and maintain, preventing concrete dusting and keeping them looking high-quality for years to come.
Residential concrete sealing is great for driveways, patios, garages, and carports. While concrete is durable, sealing it enhances its strength and longevity. Sealing also protects against moisture, preventing mold growth on patios and maintaining their appearance for years. For high-traffic areas like driveways and garage floors, sealing adds durability and repels oil spills, making cleaning much easier.
Commercial concrete floors stay strong, clean, and smooth due to concrete sealing. Without it, heavy foot traffic, machinery, and pallets would wear down the surface. Sealing adds durability and protects against spills, stains, and slip hazards, making it essential for spaces like retail stores, where it not only maintains structural integrity but also enhances visual appeal, providing a clean, polished look that pleases both customers and employees.
Industrial concrete must be incredibly tough to withstand the constant wear in factories and warehouses. With heavy foot traffic and forklifts in use, concrete sealing provides the added strength needed to endure daily challenges. It protects floors from spills, stains, and chemicals by deeply penetrating the surface, offering resistance to heat and mechanical abrasion. Proper sealing keeps industrial floors clean and durable for many years, preventing dirt, oil, and chemicals from damaging the surface.

Concrete polishing has become a favorite among homeowners and businesses due to its sleek look and easy maintenance. Unlike plain concrete, polished surfaces don’t trap dust or allergens, making them ideal for allergy sufferers and easier to clean. You've likely seen polished concrete in stadiums and big box stores, but now it's gaining popularity in residential driveways, patios, garages, and commercial spaces. It's one of the most affordable and long-lasting floor treatments available.
Polished concrete is a versatile and eco-friendly flooring solution. Often mistaken for marble due to its glossy appearance, it requires little maintenance and reflects light, reducing lighting costs in large spaces. The polishing process involves multiple steps, using diamond grinding tools to achieve the perfect smooth and reflective finish.

Concrete polishing provides a wide array of benefits to any home or business. This attractive concrete flooring treatment will make your concrete tougher, more beautiful, and last longer!
Low Maintenance - Unlike many flooring systems that require extensive scrubbing, polished concrete is easy to maintain. It resists oil, paint, and other spills that would stain other surfaces, making cleanup quicker and less labor-intensive. The polished surface naturally repels spills, keeping it looking great with minimal effort.
Reflective Surface - Polished concrete is exceptionally reflective, enhancing the light in your home or business. This not only helps reduce energy costs but also adds to the beauty of your floors. Whether it's for guests, employees, or customers, the increased brightness makes your space look clearer and more inviting.
Enhanced Durability - Polishing concrete significantly strengthens both new and existing floors, boosting their resistance to abrasion and impact. Polished concrete is also one of the most long-lasting flooring options, with a lifespan of over 20 years when properly maintained.
Stain Resistance - Polishing concrete converts its porous surface into a hardened, non-porous one. This densified surface effectively blocks water, oil, and other staining substances from penetrating the concrete.
Long-term Investment - Investing in garage floor epoxy is a wise choice! Epoxy coating lasts longer than most types of flooring. When installed properly, it can last for several decades without cracking or peeling.
Slip Resistance - Although polished concrete has a sleek, glass-like look, it actually offers more friction than regular concrete. This makes it less slippery, whether wet or dry, ensuring a safer environment for your home or business.
Level 1 Polish – Affordable and Practical:
Ideal for warehouses and retail spaces, Level 1 polish offers a subtle shine while maintaining durability and easy upkeep, making it a budget-friendly option.
Level 2 Polish – Function Meets Aesthetic
Level 2 polish delivers a moderate gloss, balancing practicality and appearance, perfect for commercial spaces seeking a polished look without sacrificing functionality.
Level 3 Polish – High Gloss and Durability:
For high-traffic areas or upscale retail spaces, Level 3 polish offers a refined, glossy finish that can withstand heavy use, providing a durable and attractive surface.
Surface Preparation: This involves grinding the concrete surface, removing any existing coatings, adhesives, or contaminants. Depending on the condition of the concrete, this step can take a day or two.
Grinding and Polishing: The concrete is mechanically ground with progressively finer diamond pads to achieve the desired level of gloss. Multiple passes are made over the surface to refine it. The time required for this step depends on the level of gloss and the starting condition of the concrete.
Densification and Sealing: After achieving the desired level of polish, a densifier is applied to the concrete to increase its hardness and durability. Additionally, a sealer is applied to protect the surface and enhance its appearance.
Curing Time: Once the polishing and sealing are completed, the concrete needs time to cure properly. The curing time can vary depending on the specific products used, but it typically ranges from 1 to 3 days.
