Concrete Polishing & Epoxy Flooring in German Village, Columbus, OH

Often it is, though it may be much newer than the house. Many old basements had dirt or brick floors that were later covered with a thin concrete layer. A look and a small test grind show what you have. Thin or crumbling layers may need repair before polishing or coating.

Polished concrete is a strong pick for a studio, since it's hard wearing and easy to clean. If the slab is rough or heavily patched, flake or solid epoxy gives a more uniform look. A moisture test matters in outbuildings, which often have no vapor barrier under the slab.

German Village has small lots and brick buildings with little warehouse space, so Concrete Polish and Epoxy Ohio polishes warehouse, shop and commercial floors in the surrounding parts of Columbus and inside the neighborhood's restaurants and shops. Our in-house crew does diamond grinding, densifier and polishing for homes and businesses alike, working out of the office on Westerville Road.

Parking and access get planned at the estimate. The crew brings equipment sized for small houses and narrow doors, and some spots may need a city permit for street parking. Grinders and vacuums roll in through the most direct door, and cords run neatly to keep paths clear.

Yes. The coating is finished tight to the drain body so water runs off and grime can't settle in cracks around it. Cove base seals the wall line. The result is a kitchen floor that mops clean and holds up to hot water and degreasers.

Polished concrete handles cool basements well, since there's no coating to blister. Test the moisture first, because very damp slabs can show efflorescence, a white powder. A breathable guard keeps the surface easy to clean, and racks sit firmly on the hard floor.

Usually. Compact grinders and vacuums are made for tight basements, and pieces can be carried down separately. Stair dimensions get measured at the estimate. Corners and edges in very tight spaces get finished with hand tools, which takes a little longer.

Concrete Polish and Epoxy Ohio puts down garage epoxy in German Village, including carriage houses out back that now serve as garages or studios. Those slabs are often thin and uneven, so our crew grinds and levels them before applying flake epoxy and a polyaspartic topcoat. We plan parking and equipment around the tight brick streets, and the on-site estimate costs nothing.

Either can work once the old flooring is removed. Polished concrete looks clean next to brick and wood, and epoxy in a solid color is very easy to mop. A moisture test and a look at the slab decide which fits. Cabinets usually stay in place, with work done up to them.

It pairs well. A light grind with a satin finish keeps a soft, natural tone, and a warm dye can echo brick and wood. Exposed aggregate adds texture that suits older rooms. A sample during the estimate helps you pick the tone before any work starts.
