Concrete & Commercial Floor Refinishing
Floor refinishing in Chicago is not only for marble foyers. Concrete floor refinishing in Chicago turns stained, dusty slabs in basements, garages, lofts and retail spaces into dense, polished floors through diamond grinding, densifying and progressive polishing. Commercial concrete floor refinishing in Chicago is planned in phases for warehouses, showrooms, gyms and breweries so the business keeps running while we work overnight or in sections. Terrazzo, granite and limestone floors in lobbies, corridors and restrooms are restored with the same planetary machines. Each commercial floor is evaluated on site before a written scope is prepared, and a maintenance plan is included so the finish lasts.
Scratched, Dull, or Worn Floors? Here's What We Fix
Traffic lanes worn through the polish, scratches from grit and furniture, dull etched patches in kitchens, lippage between uneven tiles, dark grout lines and old topical coatings that peel are the problems that bring homeowners to stone floor restoration in Chicago. Marble floor polishing in Chicago uses wet diamond honing to cut below the damage, then refines the stone back to a honed or high-gloss finish that is consistent across the whole floor. Travertine and limestone are filled and honed, terrazzo is ground and polished, slate is stripped and resealed. Every floor is finished with a penetrating sealer and clear care instructions.
Can dull traffic lanes in a marble or terrazzo floor be brought back?
Yes. Traffic wear is micro-scratching in the finish. We diamond-hone the entire floor through a grit sequence and re-polish, so lanes disappear and the finish is even wall to wall rather than patched.
What is lippage and can you fix it?
Lippage is when adjacent tiles sit at different heights. We grind the floor flat so tile edges disappear, then hone and polish it as one continuous surface. Flattening is quoted separately because it takes more time than a polish.
How long does a stone floor restoration take and can we stay in the house?
Most residential floors take one to three days depending on size and condition. The process is wet and low-dust, work is done in sections, and you can remain at home. Floors are walkable as soon as each section dries.
