Concrete Floor Resurfacing & Refinishing in Columbus

a shiny and polished concrete floor in Columbus

Restore damaged concrete without tearing it out.

Worn-out concrete doesn’t just look bad. Cracks, spalling, and uneven surfaces can create safety issues, maintenance headaches, and a poor first impression. Our commercial resurfacing solutions repair and refinish your concrete so it looks and performs like new — without the cost or downtime of a full replacement.

Concrete Floor FAQs

What is the difference between concrete resurfacing and refinishing?

Resurfacing involves applying a new layer, such as an overlay or epoxy coating, to restore damaged concrete. Refinishing enhances the existing surface using methods like polishing or sealing. Resurfacing is more restorative; refinishing is more aesthetic.

When is resurfacing necessary versus refinishing?
Resurfacing is necessary when the floor has structural issues like cracks, pitting, or unevenness. Refinishing is best when the surface is structurally sound and needs aesthetic improvement or added protection.
Can both resurfacing and refinishing be done together?
Yes, they can be combined. For example, a floor can be resurfaced with a microtopping and then finished with staining or sealing for added protection and visual appeal.

A brighter workspace increases safety, and morale, and protects your investment. You already know that. It’s why you are here.

Give us a call. Advice and estimates are at no cost to you.

Which is more cost-effective for my facility: resurfacing or refinishing?
Refinishing is typically more affordable and faster. Resurfacing is costlier but necessary for floors with damage. The best option depends on the floor condition and intended use.
Are there specific applications better suited for resurfacing or refinishing?
Yes. Warehouses and industrial settings benefit from resurfacing for durability. Retail or office spaces often choose refinishing for appearance.
Do costs vary for high-traffic areas like retail vs. industrial spaces?
Yes. Industrial floors often require more durable coatings and prep, which can increase costs. Retail spaces may prioritize aesthetics and faster turnaround.
Are there eco-friendly or low-VOC options for commercial floors?
Yes. Many modern coatings are low-VOC and environmentally safe, complying with indoor air quality standards and LEED certifications.
Which method is best for heavy machinery or forklift traffic?

Epoxy coatings with added aggregates or urethane topcoats are best for high-impact, high-traffic areas like warehouses.

Can work be done after hours to minimize business disruption?
Yes, many contractors offer night or weekend work to avoid interfering with business operations.
How long must the floor cure before it can be used?
Curing time varies by product. Light foot traffic may be allowed after 24 hours, but full cure (for machinery or forklifts) may take 3-7 days.
Does weather or humidity affect the timeline?
Yes. High humidity or low temperatures can slow drying and curing times. Indoor climate control helps maintain timelines.
Are there faster methods for urgent projects?
Quick-dry coatings and accelerated curing systems are available, but may come at a higher cost. Ask your contractor about options.
Can existing coatings be resurfaced, or must they be removed?
It depends on adhesion and condition. In many cases, old coatings must be stripped to ensure proper bonding.
