Concrete flooring is a superb choice for various environments due to its robust durability, long-lasting performance, and adaptability. Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, concrete floors offer a reliable base that meets diverse needs. They stand up well to moisture, chemicals, and high temperatures, making them ideal for demanding environments. Their strength and resistance to wear and tear make them perfect for high-traffic areas and heavy-use spaces. Modern techniques allow for a range of finishes and styles, including polishing, staining, stamping, and the application of decorative coatings. These options ensure that concrete floors not only perform exceptionally well but also complement the overall design and functionality of your space.
Concrete installation is crucial for ensuring the reliability of the foundation, whether starting from scratch or updating an old surface. It focuses on creating a solid and stable base for various types of coverings, ensuring that the floor is structurally sound and ready for further finishing. Proper concrete installation is essential for preparing the surface and achieving a flawless finish, whether you’re installing new flooring or upgrading an existing one. We offer comprehensive concrete installation services, including both new pours and resurfacing existing floors. Concrete resurfacing involves applying a thin layer of new concrete or a specialized overlay to an existing surface to restore its appearance and functionality. This method is ideal for addressing minor cracks, imperfections, and surface wear, giving your concrete floors a fresh, updated look without the need for complete replacement.
Polished concrete flooring is an excellent choice for commercial spaces like retail stores, restaurants, and offices. It offers a sleek, modern appearance while being durable and low-maintenance. The polished finish enhances reflectivity and resistance to stains and spills, making it a practical and visually appealing option.
This option allows you to add rich, translucent colors to your floors, highlighting the natural beauty of the concrete. Stained concrete is highly customizable, perfect for retail stores, offices, and hospitality venues. It’s a cost-effective alternative to polished concrete, delivering vibrant colors with less extensive preparation.
Ideal for walkways, driveways, and pool decks, the broom finish provides a slip-resistant surface with a simple, yet functional design. This is a budget-friendly option that still offers durability and safety for high-traffic outdoor areas.
A more budget-friendly alternative to polished concrete, Grind and Seal flooring system offers a similar aesthetic with a less intensive preparation process. It’s perfect for commercial and residential applications where a polished look is desired without the higher cost.
Concrete coatings are materials applied to concrete surfaces to enhance their performance and appearance. They provide numerous benefits, making concrete floors more durable, easier to maintain, and visually appealing. By creating a strong, resistant layer on the concrete, coatings help prevent issues like cracking and chipping, which extends the lifespan of the surface. Coated surfaces are easier to clean because many coatings form a smooth, non-porous layer that resists dust and debris, reducing the frequency and effort needed for cleaning. Additionally, coatings come in various finishes, colors, and textures, allowing for customization to fit the design and style of any space. Some coatings also improve traction and reduce slip hazards, making them ideal for environments where safety is important. They protect concrete from damage caused by chemicals, stains, moisture, and physical wear, which is particularly valuable in high-traffic or harsh environments.
In summary, concrete floor coatings enhance and protect concrete surfaces, improving their durability and ease of maintenance while offering customizable options to match any design. Whether used in commercial, industrial, or residential settings, the right coating ensures your concrete floors perform well and look great.
Microtopping is advanced concrete overlay system that provide a sleek, modern finish with minimal maintenance. Microtopping involves applying a thin, cement-based layer over existing concrete or other surfaces. This layer, typically between 1/16 and 1/8 inch thick, consists of cement, aggregates, and pigments, creating a smooth and durable finish.
Microtopping overlay is a versatile and innovative flooring system that can be used to achieve a variety of decorative finishes, including the look of natural materials. One notable application is its ability to mimic the appearance of wood planks. Wood plank overlay system replicates the appearance of wood planks while providing a more resilient surface, perfect for spaces where wood aesthetics are desired without the maintenance concerns. Unlike real wood, microtopping is highly durable and resistant to scratches, dents, and stains. It provides a strong and long-lasting surface that can withstand heavy foot traffic, making it ideal for both residential and commercial applications. Microtopping is an excellent solution for areas where traditional wood flooring might not be suitable due to moisture or high wear conditions. For example, it can be a beautiful and resilient alternative for outdoor spaces like patios or high-traffic indoor areas such as entryways. The versatility and durability of microtopping make it ideal for creating the appearance of wood planks in these challenging environments.
Microcement also serves as an exceptional concrete floor coating, providing a resilient and stylish finish that enhances both the functionality and look of your concrete surfaces. Similarly to microtopping, microcement overlay features an ultra-thin application, often less than 1/16 inch thick. This blend of cement, resins, and fine aggregates creates a durable and decorative surface. One of the key advantages of both microtopping and microcement is their ability to deliver a seamless finish without joints or seams. Microcement is versatile and can be applied to floors, walls, and various surfaces, providing a cohesive design throughout your space. It is available in a wide range of colors and textures, allowing for extensive design flexibility and a tailored look. Customization is a significant benefit of microcement. For areas such as bathrooms or pool decks, where slip resistance is essential, a more pronounced texture can be applied to enhance safety. This makes microcement an excellent choice for pool deck coating, offering both durability and improved traction. Conversely, in spaces like corridors, kitchens, or living rooms, a more subtle and neutral finish is often preferred to maintain a clean and elegant appearance.
The application process involves manual techniques, which enable the creation of intricate patterns and unique textures. This hands-on approach ensures that each installation can be customized to meet the specific requirements of the space, whether aiming for a bold design or a more understated finish.
Epoxy coatings are advanced flooring options consisting of a resin and a hardener. When these components are mixed, they form a durable and long-lasting surface that enhances the performance and appearance of concrete or other substrates. Epoxy coatings provide a tough, resistant layer that protects against chemicals, abrasion, and wear, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from residential to industrial environments. To achieve specific results, such as enhanced slip resistance or a particular finish, epoxy coatings can be combined with various topcoats and additives. These customizable options allow you to tailor the epoxy system to meet your exact needs. Whether you’re looking for increased safety features, a specific aesthetic, or additional durability, we can help you select and apply the right solution for your project.

Metallic epoxy coatings create a stunning, high-gloss finish that can mimic the look of polished stone or liquid metal. This option is perfect for upscale commercial spaces, showrooms, and modern offices.
A durable, seamless coating ideal for commercial kitchens, warehouses, garages, offices, living rooms, and residential kitchens. Solid epoxy is resistant to chemicals, abrasion, and heavy traffic, making it a practical choice for both high-stress commercial environments and busy residential spaces.
Incorporating decorative flakes into the epoxy coating adds texture, hides imperfections, and creates a visually striking surface. Epoxy flake flooring is perfect for high-traffic areas like garages, offices, and retail stores.
A crucial component for various flooring systems, moisture vapor barriers help prevent capillary moisture from compromising the integrity of your floors. Our installation services ensure that your barrier is applied effectively, helping your flooring last longer and perform better. We highly recommend installing a moisture vapor barrier in garages, basements, and commercial spaces with high humidity. This practice not only extends the lifespan of your flooring but also enhances adhesion to the concrete, ultimately saving you money. Capillary moisture in concrete can negatively impact the durability of your flooring, making the barrier an essential investment for maintaining a strong and reliable surface.

A perfectly level floor is not only visually appealing but also essential when planning to install new flooring systems like tiles, epoxy, or laminate. Achieving a smooth and even surface ensures that the final finish is flawless and long-lasting. Depending on your flooring needs, we offer different solutions to ensure your floor is properly leveled and finished to your satisfaction. While minor surface imperfections can often be addressed with simple repairs and light grinding, there are situations where a thorough leveling is indispensable. This is where our expertise in floor leveling systems comes into play:
Self-leveling concrete is essential for preparing uneven surfaces before installing a new flooring system. It ensures a smooth, even base, reducing the risk of future issues. This method is ideal for preparation before laying tile, laminate, vinyl, or epoxy coatings, ensuring a flawless and long-lasting finish.
Painted self-leveling concrete is a versatile flooring option that can be considered a standalone solution. This type of flooring combines the benefits of a smooth, even surface with the aesthetic appeal of a decorative finish. It’s an ideal choice for achieving a sleek, modern look without the need for additional floor coverings. In both residential and commercial spaces, painted self-leveling concrete provides a seamless appearance that enhances the visual appeal of the floor. The painted finish not only adds beauty but also contributes to durability and ease of maintenance.
Commercial and industrial spaces often face high traffic and demanding conditions, requiring durable and resilient flooring solutions.
