Polished Concrete Flooring in Seguin TX - a smooth floor ground from your own slab
Got a bare, patchy slab or old flooring coming up? We grind the concrete into a smooth, hard floor in the finish you choose.
What does polishing a concrete floor actually involve?
Polished concrete flooring in Seguin, TX is a finish we grind into the slab you already have. Machines work the surface down in a series of passes until the whole floor is smooth and refined, with nothing laid over it.
Most people who call us about polishing have a bare slab under old carpet or tile. Others have a garage or shop floor they want to look finished without putting a coating on top. Before I talk about finishes, I want to know what's on that slab right now, because all of it has to come off or get fixed before polishing starts.
Two things move the price and the schedule. The deeper we grind, the more passes the floor takes. The more glue, paint or old coating there is, the more work comes first, and sometimes that means concrete floor stripping and removal before any grinding. I give you a written estimate once I've seen the floor. We're based in Seguin and work in the cities around it.
- Old glue, paint, coatings and mastic, the adhesive left from tile, come off before any polishing.
- Cracks and spalls, the chipped or flaked spots, get repaired so the floor polishes evenly.
- We polish house floors, garages, shops and small business spaces, and every one starts from the slab.

(830) 340-0036Questions about polished concrete floors in Seguin
These are the questions people usually ask me when they're weighing a polished floor. If yours isn't here, ask it when you call, and I'll give you a straight answer.
How much does polished concrete cost per square foot?
Polishing concrete usually costs about $8 to $9 per square foot across the US. That's a national market figure for the polishing, not our price. The finish depth and the prep your slab needs move your number, so your figure comes from the written estimate after I've walked the floor.
Which polished concrete finish should I choose?
Choose by how much stone you want to see. Each step from cream to salt and pepper to full aggregate means a deeper grind and more passes to pay for. The finish cards above show who each one suits, and if you can't decide, tell me how the room gets used and what look you're after.
How do I clean a polished concrete floor?
Clean it regularly with a neutral cleaner. The floor is the slab itself, so there's no top layer that can peel. Rooms with heavy foot traffic need the guard reapplied or the floor re-burnished, which means buffing it again, every so often.
What causes cracks in a concrete slab in Texas?
A common cause is expansive clay soil, found in many parts of Texas, which swells when it's wet and shrinks when it dries. Slab-on-grade houses, built on a slab poured right on the ground, are common across the state. That soil movement is one reason hairline cracks and joints show up in them, and it's why crack and joint repair is a regular line on polishing quotes in Texas.
Who can do polished concrete work in Seguin, TX?
The City of Seguin requires every contractor hired for any part of the work to be licensed with the city. Contractors also have to be registered with the city's Development Services Center before any permit is issued. A contractor applying for that license has to give the city a copy of their liability insurance certificate, so you can ask to see it before work begins. We're fully licensed and insured.
How do I get a polished concrete estimate in Seguin?
Call (830) 340-0036 or send the form on this page. Have the room size in square feet ready, along with the finish you want and anything you know about cracks, glue or coatings on the slab. That way I come out ready, and you get the written estimate after I've seen the floor.
Polished concrete flooring in Seguin and the cities around it
Seguin's Building Official issues permits, and the city's no-permit list names painting and minor home repairs but not floor polishing, so I ask that office about your job before we start. If they say a permit is needed, we apply for it as the contractor and you get a copy. I make the same check on jobs in New Braunfels, Schertz and the other cities we work in.
