What sheen levels are available for polished concrete?

We offer four levels: flat/matte (ground but no sheen), satin (low sheen), semi-polished (medium gloss), and high-polish (mirror-like reflective finish). Most residential clients choose satin or semi-polished.

Is polished concrete slippery?

Polished concrete has a coefficient of friction similar to standard concrete. It's generally not slippery under dry conditions. For wet areas, we can apply anti-slip treatments.

How long does polished concrete last?

Polished concrete can last the lifetime of the building with minimal maintenance. Unlike coatings, there's nothing to peel or delaminate — the polish is part of the concrete itself.

Can you polish old or damaged concrete?

In most cases, yes. Our grinding process can remove surface damage, minor stains, and imperfections. Severely damaged concrete may need repair before polishing.

Is polished concrete expensive?

Polished concrete is cost-competitive with other premium flooring options and often less expensive long-term because it requires minimal maintenance and never needs re-coating.

Why Caldwell Homeowners Choose Us

Caldwell sits at the western edge of the Treasure Valley, the Canyon County seat and the fastest-growing city in Idaho, which means garages here run the full range, from brand-new subdivision builds off Indian Creek to slabs that have weathered decades of Canyon County winters. That range is exactly what our system is built for. Caldwell's cold semi-arid climate is hard on a garage floor: July afternoons push into the 90s and beyond, January lows drop near 10 degrees, and the freeze-thaw swings in between are what crack and peel a cheap epoxy coating. Epoxy turns brittle and lifts when the slab expands and contracts, while our polyurea and polyaspartic systems stay flexible through those cycles and won't yellow under the valley's hard summer sun. We start every job with full diamond grinding, not an acid wash, so the coating bonds into the concrete and stays put. Local crew, Treasure Valley based, standing behind every Caldwell garage we finish.
