How much does polished concrete flooring cost?
Polished concrete costs $3-18/sq ft depending on finish level. Basic grinding costs $3-5/sq ft, while decorative high-gloss finishes cost $12-18/sq ft.
Is polished concrete cheaper than epoxy?
Basic polished concrete ($3-5/sq ft) is cheaper than epoxy ($5-12/sq ft), but high-end polished concrete can cost more.
How long does polished concrete last?
Polished concrete lasts 20+ years with minimal maintenance. The polish may need refreshing every 5-10 years depending on traffic.
Can existing concrete be polished?
Yes, if it's at least 28 days old, structurally sound, and free from coatings. Cracks can be repaired before polishing.
Our polished concrete floor cost calculator estimates total project cost based on your floor area, desired polish level (basic to decorative), slab type (existing or new), sealer choice, and optional staining. Polish levels range from basic matte finish to mirror-like decorative finishes with aggregate exposure.
Formula
Total = Polish Cost + Slab Cost (if new) + Sealer + Staining (optional)
Polish levels use progressively finer diamond grinding (100-3000 grit)
