Polished, Epoxy & Stained Concrete Floors in Detroit
A finished concrete floor is durable, allergen-free and requires minimal upkeep. We build them polished, epoxy-coated, stained or with a micro-topping overlay, whether you are starting fresh or resurfacing an existing slab. Every project begins with a free written estimate and a site assessment.
A polished, epoxy, stained or micro-topping concrete floor is only as good as what sits beneath it. Any unevenness, soft spots or lippage in the slab will show through the finish, no matter how well it is applied.
That is where self-leveling underlayment comes in. We pour it over an uneven or damaged slab to bring the surface into tolerance before any finish is installed. If you are planning radiant heat in the floor, the underlayment encases the tubing in the same operation.
Once the slab is flat and sound, we can apply any finish you want. A polished concrete floor gives a bright, reflective surface. An epoxy coating creates a seamless, chemical-resistant layer. A stained concrete finish adds colour and warmth without tile grout lines.

Installation sequence
How a Concrete Floor Gets Built in Detroit
Inspect the slab
We examine the existing concrete for moisture, cracks, flatness and any old coatings, then recommend the right finish for the room and the slab condition.
Prep the surface
We grind or shot-blast to remove old finishes and contaminants, repair cracks or damage, and pour self-leveling underlayment if the slab is out of plane.
Install the finish
We apply the chosen finish, polished, epoxy, stain or micro-topping, following the manufacturer system from primer through topcoat, building proper thickness in each layer.
Cure and handoff
The floor cures per spec, we walk through it with you, and you receive care instructions to keep the concrete floor looking new for years.
Finish selection
Matching the Concrete Floor Finish to Your Room
The room and its use determine which finish makes sense. A polished concrete floor works well in open-concept living areas and basements where brightness and easy cleaning matter. An epoxy floor coating suits utility rooms, workshops and spaces where chemical resistance is needed.
For kitchens and sunrooms where you want colour and warmth, stained concrete takes acid or water-based dyes into the slab for depth that tile cannot match. A micro-topping overlay is ideal when you have a sound but tired slab and want a seamless new surface without tearing out the old concrete.
Finishes, prep, cost and what concrete floors are like to live with in Detroit.
We finish concrete floors polished, epoxy-coated, stained or with a micro-topping overlay, plus the self-leveling and heated-floor underlayment prep that goes underneath them.
Yes. Most residential floor work is done over an existing slab. We assess it for moisture, cracks and flatness, grind or repair as needed, and pour self-leveling underlayment if the surface is out of tolerance before the finish.
They are no colder than tile and pair well with radiant heat encased in heated-floor underlayment. They are hard, which is also why they are durable, low-maintenance and allergen-free, with no grout lines or carpet to hold dust.
Concrete floor finishes generally run $6 to $15 per square foot depending on the finish, the slab condition and how much prep or underlayment is needed. We confirm it with a written, itemised quote after seeing the slab.
We grind or shot-blast the surface and pour self-leveling underlayment where the slab is uneven. A finish only looks as good as the slab under it, so flat comes before anything decorative.
Homeowner reviews
What Detroit Homeowners Say About Their Concrete Floors
Polished the whole main floor after a reno. It is bright, dead easy to clean, and the self-leveler they poured first means there is not a single high spot.

★★★★★
Epoxy floor in the basement utility room. Seamless, wipes clean, and they built it up in proper coats instead of one quick layer.

★★★★★
Stained the kitchen floor a warm brown. The colour has depth you do not get from tile, and there are no grout lines to scrub.

★★★★★
Micro-topping over an old cracked slab in the sunroom. New seamless surface for a fraction of a tear-out, and you cannot tell what was underneath.
