Concrete Floor Systems We Install in Austin

Each system produces a different result and suits different spaces, budgets, and goals. Here is what we offer — and when each makes sense.

Stained Concrete Floors

Acid stain and water-based stain penetrate existing concrete to create rich, permanent color — warm ambers and terracottas, cool slate tones, or bold custom hues sealed for durability. Acid stain produces a natural, variegated, marbled effect where no two floors look exactly alike. Water-based stain offers more color consistency across a wider palette. Both types are sealed with a topcoat appropriate for the space and traffic level. Popular for living rooms, dining areas, kitchens, hallways, offices, and retail floors.

Polished Concrete Floors

Mechanical diamond polishing refines the concrete slab itself — no coating applied — to a smooth, reflective surface that hardens the floor, eliminates dusting, and requires no waxing or recoating. Available in cream polish, salt-and-pepper, and full aggregate exposure finishes depending on how much of the concrete’s character you want revealed. Densifier and guard treatment are standard on every polished concrete job we complete. A top choice for commercial spaces, modern residences, and any floor where long-term low maintenance is the priority. View our full polished concrete services.

Epoxy Floor Coatings

100% solids epoxy and polyaspartic coating systems applied over properly prepared concrete to create a hard, chemical-resistant, easy-to-clean surface. Available in solid colors, chip and flake systems, and metallic finishes. We use professional-grade materials and grind every floor before coating — not the acid-wash-only approach that causes DIY epoxy to fail within a season. A strong choice for garages, utility spaces, commercial floors, and any interior where a durable, sealed surface is more important than natural concrete aesthetics. View our full epoxy coating services.

Concrete Overlays & Microtopping

Decorative overlays and ultra-thin microtoppings resurface existing concrete floors that are worn, pitted, stained, or covered with old adhesive — restoring them to a clean, finished surface without slab removal. Microtoppings are applied in 1–2 thin passes to produce a seamless, contemporary floor that accepts stain, dye, or sealer. A cost-effective way to transform dated or damaged interior floors in homes, offices, and commercial spaces. View our full overlay and resurfacing services.

Concrete Floor Sealing

For floors in good condition that just need protection refreshed — penetrating and topical sealers that reduce porosity, prevent staining, and improve the surface’s resistance to moisture and daily wear. Appropriate for existing decorative floors where the finish is sound but the sealer has worn thin, and for utility spaces where a clean, sealed surface is the goal without a full decorative treatment. We advise on the right sealer type for the application during the free estimate.

How to Choose the Right Concrete Floor System

The right system depends on four things: what the floor looks like now, how the space is used, what aesthetic you are after, and your budget. Here is a simple way to think through it.

If You Want Color & Character — Stained Concrete

Staining is the right call when you want a floor that feels warm, organic, and distinctive. The variation in acid stain is a feature, not a flaw — it gives the floor depth and character that no coating can replicate. Best for residential interiors, restaurants, boutiques, and any space where the floor is part of the design rather than just a surface.

If You Want Low Maintenance & Longevity — Polished Concrete

Polishing is the right call when you want a floor that requires the least ongoing work and lasts the longest with the fewest interventions. No coatings to peel or reapply, no waxing, no annual maintenance. Dust mop and damp mop — that’s it. The best long-term investment for commercial floors, open-plan homes, and any space with heavy foot traffic.

If You Want Maximum Durability — Epoxy or Polyaspartic

Coating systems are the right call when chemical resistance, impact resistance, and easy sanitization are the priorities over natural concrete aesthetics. Garages, utility rooms, commercial kitchens, warehouses, and medical spaces. Available in dozens of colors and finishes including decorative chip and metallic systems.

If Your Floor Is Worn or Damaged — Overlay or Microtopping

Overlays are the right call when the existing surface is too compromised for direct staining or polishing — old adhesive, deep stains, pitting, or surface spalling. A microtopping or overlay gives you a fresh surface to work with at a fraction of slab replacement cost.

Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Flooring in Austin, TX

Concrete flooring costs vary by system: stained concrete ranges from – per sq ft on existing slabs; polished concrete from – per sq ft depending on finish level; epoxy and polyaspartic coatings from –0 per sq ft; decorative overlays and microtopping from –2 per sq ft. All pricing depends on square footage, surface condition, and system complexity. We provide free on-site estimates with detailed, itemized pricing — call (512) 909-5812.

Polished concrete is the most durable long-term option — it mechanically refines the slab itself, has nothing to peel or delaminate, and can last the lifetime of the building with routine maintenance. For coating systems, polyaspartic outperforms standard epoxy in hardness, UV resistance, and longevity. The right answer depends on the application — we advise based on your specific floor and use case.

Yes. All five systems we offer — staining, polishing, epoxy, overlays, and sealing — are applied over existing concrete. We do not pour new slabs. The existing concrete is cleaned, prepared, and in some cases repaired before the system is applied. Surface condition affects which systems are appropriate, which is why we assess every floor in person before quoting.

Polished concrete with densifier and guard treatment requires the least ongoing maintenance of any concrete floor system — dust mop and damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner, no waxing, no recoating. Epoxy and polyaspartic coatings are also easy to clean but benefit from periodic topcoat refreshing in high-traffic areas. Stained concrete needs resealing every 2–5 years depending on traffic and sealer type.

Yes. Concrete flooring works particularly well in Austin homes — it handles the climate without warping or expanding seasonally, pairs naturally with modern and contemporary interiors, and is cost-effective when the concrete slab is already in place. Stained and polished concrete are the most popular residential choices in Austin. We have installed concrete floors in hundreds of Austin homes since 2012.

The existing flooring needs to be removed first. Once the concrete is exposed, we assess the surface condition — old adhesive, cutback, and mastic must be removed before staining or polishing. In some cases this prep work changes the system recommendation. We evaluate the exposed slab during the estimate and advise on what is achievable.

Installation time varies by system and square footage. Stained concrete: 2–3 days. Polished concrete: 2–4 days. Epoxy coatings: 1–2 days. Overlays and microtopping: 2–4 days including cure time. We provide a complete project timeline before starting and confirm return-to-use timing for each phase.

Stained concrete adds color to the surface through a chemical reaction or penetrating dye — the surface is still sealed with a topcoat. Polished concrete uses mechanical diamond grinding to refine the slab to a smooth, reflective finish with no coating involved — densifier and guard treatment are applied, but there is no topcoat to maintain. Staining is about color and character; polishing is about surface quality and durability.

Yes. Stained, polished, and epoxy-coated concrete floors are all appropriate for residential and commercial kitchens. For residential kitchens, stained and polished concrete are popular for their aesthetics and low maintenance. For commercial kitchens, high-build epoxy with anti-slip topcoat and seamless cove base is standard. We advise on the appropriate system for your specific kitchen during the estimate.

Concrete floors are hard underfoot — harder than carpet or vinyl, similar to tile. In Austin’s climate, interior concrete does not get cold the way it does in colder regions because the slab retains ambient temperature well. Area rugs are a common addition in residential living spaces. Radiant heat can be installed under new concrete pours but we do not do pour work — we work with existing slabs only.

Yes. Surface scratches and sealer wear can be addressed with resealing. Deeper surface damage to a stained or polished floor can often be spot-repaired and refinished. Epoxy coatings can be patched or fully recoated. We assess damage and advise on the least invasive repair approach during a consultation.

Stained and polished concrete are both good choices for pet-heavy households — no carpet fibers to trap dander, easy to clean accidents, and resistant to pet nails compared to hardwood. Polished concrete with guard treatment is the most stain-resistant option. Epoxy coatings are also very cleanable but have a different aesthetic. We can advise on specific sealer options that hold up well to pet traffic.

Yes. Concrete flooring is a popular upgrade in Austin rental properties and investment homes — it is durable, tenant-proof compared to carpet, and adds perceived value. Stained concrete with a commercial-grade topcoat sealer is the most common choice for rental applications. We work with property owners and investors throughout Austin and Central Texas.
