Frequently Asked Questions
How much does polished concrete cost in Texas?
Polished concrete in Texas costs $3 to $12 per square foot depending on the polish level and slab condition. Basic cream polish runs $3-$6. Medium salt-and-pepper exposure costs $4-$8. Full aggregate exposure with high gloss ranges $6-$12 per square foot. A typical 1,500 square foot home costs $4,500 to $18,000. Polished concrete is often cheaper than installing new flooring since you are finishing the existing slab.
Is polished concrete good for Texas homes?
Polished concrete is excellent for Texas homes built on slab foundations. It takes advantage of the existing concrete rather than covering it. In summer, polished concrete stays naturally cool, reducing air conditioning costs. It is completely impervious to Texas humidity, will never warp or swell, and handles heavy foot traffic without wear. The thermal mass of concrete absorbs heat during the day and releases it at night, moderating indoor temperatures.
How long does concrete polishing take?
Residential concrete polishing takes 2-4 days for a typical Texas home. The process involves multiple passes with progressively finer diamond grinding pads, from 50-grit up to 3,000-grit for a high-gloss finish. Crack filling and coating removal add time. Commercial spaces over 5,000 square feet take 3-7 days. The floor is walkable within hours of the final pass and does not require cure time like epoxy coatings.
Can damaged or stained concrete be polished?
Most concrete slabs can be polished regardless of current condition. Cracks are filled with color-matched epoxy and ground flush. Old adhesive and paint are removed during initial grinding passes. Oil stains may show as darker areas but often become part of the floor's character. The only concrete that cannot be polished is severely spalled or deteriorated slabs that have lost significant surface material. Your contractor will assess the slab before quoting.
Is polished concrete slippery?
Polished concrete has a coefficient of friction comparable to standard commercial flooring and meets OSHA slip-resistance standards. When dry, polished concrete provides excellent traction. When wet, higher polish levels can become slippery, similar to any hard-surface flooring. For areas prone to water like entryways or kitchens, contractors can apply an anti-slip conditioner or recommend a matte finish that provides better wet traction without sacrificing appearance.
How do you maintain polished concrete floors?
Polished concrete is one of the lowest-maintenance flooring options. Daily care involves dust mopping or dry sweeping to remove grit that could dull the surface. Weekly damp mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner keeps the floor clean. Avoid acidic cleaners like vinegar which can etch the surface. Apply a concrete floor conditioner every few months to maintain sheen. Professional re-polish is rarely needed but can restore gloss after many years of heavy use.
