Welcome to the TKO Concrete podcast, I’m Kerry Pharr with TKO Concrete here in Nashville Tennessee. Let me share another episode of helpful information about the benefits of concrete flooring and coatings.
Concrete floors offer a unique blend of durability and affordability, but their raw look might not suit every space. Polished concrete strikes a beautiful balance, boasting a high-gloss finish alongside the inherent strengths of concrete. However, achieving this flawless look requires expertise. Hiring the right concrete polishing company ensures a stunning, long-lasting floor and a positive experience.
Know Your Needs:
- Project Scope: Is it a residential basement or a vast warehouse floor?
- Desired Finish: A high-gloss showroom look or a more subtle sheen for a retail space?
- Concrete Condition: New construction or an existing floor with potential cracks or damage?
Researching Potential Companies:
- Experience and Expertise: Seek companies specializing in concrete polishing, not just general concrete work. Look for certifications from industry bodies like the Polished Concrete Institute (PCI).
- Portfolio Review: Do their past projects align with your vision? Photos on the company website or social media pages can be a great indicator.
- Customer Reviews: Check online review platforms and the company’s Better Business Bureau (BBB) rating to understand customer experiences.
Contacting the Companies:
- Request Quotes: Get quotes from at least 3-5 companies. A well-priced quote should detail the polishing process, materials, timeline, and warranty.
- Ask Questions: Don’t hesitate to ask about their experience with similar projects, dust control measures during the process, and the type of polishing equipment they use.
- Insurance and Worker’s Compensation: Ensure the company has adequate insurance coverage to protect yourself from liability.
Making Your Choice:
- Don’t Just Chase the Low Price: While budget is important, the cheapest quote might not translate to the best quality.
- Comfort and Communication: Choose a company you feel comfortable with and who clearly communicates the process and timeline.
Bonus Tip:
- Schedule Consultations: A good company will visit your site to assess the concrete condition and provide a project-specific quote.
By following these steps, you’ll be well on your way to finding the perfect concrete polishing company to transform your space.
