Our services
Concrete polishing, epoxy flooring & waterproofing
Concrete Polishing Solutions works in three service families, concrete polishing, epoxy flooring and concrete caulking & waterproofing, with twenty-one specialties for homes and businesses. Which one fits depends on the condition of the concrete, how the space is used and the finish or protection you need.

Concrete Polishing
Concrete polishing smooths rough concrete to reveal a smooth, shiny surface. Heavy-duty grinding machines and diamond-impregnated discs are used, with progressively finer grits to reach the gloss you want. Polished floors are easy to keep clean and need only an occasional wet mopping.
- Acid StainingDecorative stain applied after the concrete is cleaned or ground, to change the color of the floor.
- Concrete GrindingSmooths existing concrete floors so they can be polished to a high gloss.
- Concrete OverlayCovers imperfections and gives existing concrete a new look, for less than replacement.
- Concrete RepairRepairs for interior floors and exterior areas such as pool decks, patios and driveways.
- Concrete ResurfacingRefinishing for worn concrete, including industrial and commercial floors under heavy use.
- Concrete SealingProtects polished, stained and exterior concrete from water, dirt and stains.
- Self LevelingA self-spreading, concrete-like material used as an underlayment or floor surface.
Epoxy Flooring
Epoxy coatings combine polymer resins and hardeners that form a chemical bond with the concrete. They give a more durable surface than floor paint, stand up to heavy traffic and resist stains from spills, with many colors and decorative options.
- Acrylic FlooringA protective floor coating option, often compared with epoxy.
- Metallic Epoxy FlooringClear epoxy with metallic pigments for a decorative finish with flowing color and movement.
- Epoxy Chip FlooringLayered epoxy with vinyl flakes for a decorative, chemical-resistant finish that is easy to clean.
- Epoxy Quartz FlooringEpoxy mixed with colored quartz aggregate for wear and abrasion resistance.
- Solid Epoxy FlooringHigh-gloss or aggregate-textured epoxy for hangars, shops, warehouses and retail.
- Urethane CementPolyurethane-concrete mortar for heavy-duty, chemical and thermal-shock environments.
- Polyurea PolyasparticA fast-installing coating often paired with chip finishes in garages and showrooms.
Concrete Caulking / Waterproofing
Exterior wall caulking and waterproofing help keep rainwater, moisture, dust and insects out of building joints, using flexible sealants made to handle temperature changes and building movement.
- Control Joint CaulkingSealing control joints to help protect a building exterior.
- Elastomeric Wall CoatingsFlexible coatings that protect walls from the weather and fill small gaps.
- Expansion Joint CaulkingSealing expansion joints, such as on parking decks, that move under load.
- Silicone CaulkingA durable sealant often used to replace old caulking on commercial buildings.
- Urethane CaulkingA sealant suited to joints that will be painted or coated.
- WaterproofingWaterproofing, caulking and moisture protection, including work for general contractors.
- Wet GlazingSealing between window and frame when gaskets no longer keep water out.
Finishes & systems
Popular finishes and systems
A closer look at some of the decorative and performance options we install.
Color chip (flake) flooring
Common in garages and business workspaces. Attractive, decorative and simple to clean, with chip size, color and density varied to suit the look you want.
Solid color flooring
Durable and easy to maintain, in colors from strong to subtle, for walks, driveways, patios, pool decks, garages and retail spaces.
Metallic epoxy coatings
Metallic pigment spread through an epoxy system for a high-gloss, metallic effect in garages, showrooms, retail spaces and restaurants.
Decorative concrete overlays
Cement-based or polymer-modified overlays cover flaws and moderate damage, often at lower cost than removing and replacing concrete.
Acid stains & concrete dyes
Acid stains react with minerals in the concrete for lasting color; water-based dyes are mostly used indoors.
Urethane concrete
Mortar systems for commercial and industrial spaces that need chemical, thermal-shock, impact and abrasion resistance.
How it works
From first call to finished floor
- 01
Request an Estimate
Call (619) 870-8308 or send the form with a few details about your space.
- 02
Evaluate the Floor
We look at the concrete’s condition and how the space is used, then recommend a system.
- 03
Prepare & Install
Surrounding areas are protected, the slab is prepared and your floor system is installed.
- 04
Final Review
We review the finished floor with you and go over basic care.
Where we work
Commercial and residential applications
Commercial applications are organized by type of facility, and residential applications by area of the home. Each one shows the services that usually fit.
Comparing families
Polished concrete, a coating, or sealing the building?
The three families do different jobs: polishing works on the concrete itself, epoxy and resin systems add a new surface on top, and caulking and waterproofing deal with building joints, walls and decks.
Polished concrete or a coating?
Polishing grinds and refines the concrete itself, keeping its natural look from matte to high gloss. Epoxy and resin systems build a new, seamless layer on top, in solid colors, chips, quartz or metallic finishes. Epoxy will not bond to concrete that has been sealed, so the slab is checked first.
See concrete polishing and epoxy flooring.
Floors or the building exterior?
Concrete polishing and epoxy flooring are floor services. Concrete caulking and waterproofing work on building joints, windows, exterior walls and decks, where the aim is to help keep water out.
See caulking and waterproofing, or the maintenance guide for care of finished floors.
