What Is Grind and Seal?
Grind and seal is a two-part process that enhances the appearance and performance of your existing concrete. First, we grind the surface to remove imperfections and open the pores of the concrete. This step also helps expose some of the natural texture or aggregate for a more decorative look.
Then, we apply a clear, industrial-grade sealer that locks in durability, makes cleaning easy, and protects the surface from stains, moisture, and wear. You get a smooth, modern finish without the cost or complexity of polishing or full coatings.
This service is ideal for homeowners and businesses that want a modern concrete look with practical, real-world performance.

Grind And Seal Vs. Polished Concrete
While both grind and seal and polished concrete offer a smooth finish, they are not the same process. Polished concrete uses finer grinding stages and polishing pads to achieve a reflective finish, which can take longer and cost more.
Grind and seal offers similar visual appeal with fewer steps, making it faster and more affordable. It also allows for more flexibility in sheen level and sealer type, especially for areas that may see moisture or chemical exposure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a grind and seal surface last?
With proper care, your sealed surface can last many years. Periodic resealing may be needed depending on traffic, use, and environment.
Can this be done on old concrete?
Yes. In most cases, older concrete can be ground and sealed. We will evaluate the condition of the surface during your consultation.
Will it be slippery?
We can add slip-resistant additives to the sealer if the space will be wet or used frequently. Let us know how the area will be used.
How do I maintain it?
Just sweep and mop regularly using a neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
