Polished concrete floors reach El Mirage through Peoria Polished Concrete, from garage slabs and dyed or sealed finishes to restoration and small business floors. El Mirage sits just south of Peoria, and most of its housing dates from 2000 onward.
El Mirage has about 36,000 residents. Eleven percent of its housing predates 1980 and 73 percent was built in 2000 or later, with a median build year of 2004 and a median home value of about $321,900. Eighty-seven percent of homes are houses or townhomes and 7.6 percent are mobile homes. It is about six driving miles from Peoria.
Charcoal dyed three-car garage floor that hides oil drips
Example project
Home
2000s house in El Mirage with a three-car garage
Original request
A dark garage floor that hides oil drips from a work truck
Floor
About 650 sq ft of slab with saw-cut joint lines
Finish
Charcoal dye, polished to a gloss
Storage
Wall shelves and a run of gray cabinets stay in place
Estimated cost
$3,900
In this example, the owner of a 2000s house in El Mirage parks a work truck in the three-car garage, and the bare slab shows every oil drip. A dark floor will hide small spots and look more finished.
In a smaller house, an uninterrupted polished floor from entry to patio doors makes the rooms read bigger. See polished concrete floors on the homepage for the levels.
Garages
A polished garage can be the first step for an owner who wants to try the look. Our page on polished concrete garage floors compares polished concrete with a coating.
With 11.1 percent of its housing from before 1980, El Mirage has a few older floors, and older tile or adhesive is worth testing before it is ground. See concrete floor restoration for how testing works and when Maricopa County’s asbestos rule applies.
Where a home is a manufactured or mobile home, there may be no slab to polish, so tell us what the home sits on when you ask for a quote.
Ask the city building department whether your project needs a permit, particularly if it involves cutting into the slab, structural repair or new slab work. State law also requires contractors to be licensed above a small-job limit, so check any contractor's license with the state Registrar of Contractors before hiring.
Frequently asked questions
Can an older El Mirage floor be polished?
Yes, once the covering and glue are gone and any older tile or adhesive has been tested. What the slab looks like then sets the outcome.
Do I need a permit to polish a floor in El Mirage?
Ask the El Mirage building department; it can confirm what applies to your address and your kind of work.
Is a polished garage worth it?
It depends on how the garage is used; the garage page covers the comparison with a coating.
