Concrete Polishing & Epoxy Flooring in Newark, OH

Usually yes, once the patches are ground flat and the loose spots are repaired. Old Newark basements often have several pours side by side, and a flake epoxy hides the seams well. A moisture test tells you if a moisture-tolerant primer is needed before the color coat.

Both work, and the choice comes down to looks and upkeep. Polished concrete has no coating to wear through and cleans with a mop or auto scrubber. Epoxy gives you solid colors and a sealed surface. If the slab is in decent shape, polishing usually costs less to maintain over time.
