Polished Concrete Floors
Commercial polished concrete floors in Allen, TX
As a general contractor working directly with developers and property owners, we deliver polished concrete floors services for commercial and industrial properties throughout Allen, TX and the DFW metroplex. No subcontracting, just our experienced crews, your project, and clear accountability.
Service Overview
Polished concrete floors combine the durability of concrete with the refined appearance demanded by retail spaces, restaurants, office lobbies, and modern industrial facilities. The polishing process transforms ordinary concrete into a high-performance surface that resists wear, reflects light, and requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional flooring.
In North Texas commercial properties, polished concrete has gained popularity for both new construction and renovation projects. Retail stores appreciate the upscale appearance that complements merchandise displays. Restaurants value the stain resistance and easy cleaning. Industrial facilities benefit from the dust-free surface that keeps equipment running cleanly.
Our polishing process begins with concrete that is engineered for the application. New slabs receive specific mix designs and finishing techniques that optimize polishing results. Existing slabs are assessed for condition, repaired where necessary, and brought to the desired appearance through progressive grinding, densifying, and polishing steps.
The level of polish, from matte to high-gloss, is selected based on your aesthetic goals and practical requirements. Higher gloss levels maximize light reflectivity, which can reduce lighting costs in large facilities. Lower sheen levels may be preferred where slip resistance is a priority.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about polished concrete floors
Can any concrete floor be polished?
Most concrete floors can be polished, but results depend on the original concrete quality and condition. New construction achieves the best results when the slab is designed for polishing. Existing slabs may require repairs, patching, or overlay before polishing. We assess each floor and provide realistic expectations during the bid process.
How long does the polishing process take?
Timeline depends on floor size, desired finish level, and any repairs required. A typical 10,000 SF retail space can be polished in 5-7 working days. Large warehouse floors may take 2-3 weeks. We work nights and weekends when schedules require accelerated completion.
What maintenance does polished concrete require?
Polished concrete requires less maintenance than most flooring. Daily dust mopping and periodic damp mopping with neutral cleaner maintains appearance. We recommend professional burnishing annually for high-traffic commercial spaces. The floor never needs waxing or stripping like VCT or other traditional floors.
What is the difference between polished concrete and epoxy flooring?
Polished concrete transforms the concrete itself through mechanical grinding and densifying. There is no coating to peel or delaminate. Epoxy is a coating applied to concrete that can chip, scratch, and require reapplication. Polished concrete is generally preferred for commercial spaces; epoxy may be specified for chemical resistance in industrial applications.
Can you add color or decorative elements to polished floors?
Yes. We offer integral color concrete for new slabs, dye application for existing concrete, exposed aggregate polishing that reveals decorative stone, and sawcut pattern designs. The decorative options allow polished concrete to complement virtually any design aesthetic.
