Typical cost in Peoria
Garage floors in Peoria are what Peoria Polished Concrete grinds and polishes here. The choice facing a garage owner is between refining the slab already there and covering it with a coating. Because our trade is polished and sealed concrete only, this page lays the two options next to each other, including the cases where a coating wins.
Roughly nine in ten Peoria homes date from 1980 or later, and the median home went up in 1999, so a garage slab here may be the original builder pour. Garages in Surprise and El Mirage are covered as well.
A polished garage floor is the existing slab, cut and refined with diamond tooling until smooth. Epoxy, polyaspartic and urethane work differently: a liquid goes onto a prepared slab and cures into a film. One reshapes the surface you have, the other puts a new layer over it.
There is no applied film to lift, peel or wear through in one spot, and the floor can carry a satin to polished look in the color of the concrete, or dyed. Cleaning is a damp mop. The floor also stays concrete, with its joints, patches and hairline cracks on view.
A coating can add a decorative pattern and a chemical-resistant surface that bare polished concrete does not offer, so a bay used for charging batteries or handling chemicals may call for one. If that sounds like your garage, mention it in your request.
A garage slab was poured as a utility floor, not for polishing. Expect trowel marks, a few saw-cut joints, hairline cracks, possibly patched plumbing cuts and oil spots in the parking bays. Grinding takes off the top surface and some marks, but it does not flatten the slab or erase deep staining.
Industry guidance asks for a concrete surface harder than 4 on the Mohs scale before polishing, and a soft slab can polish to less shine and shed more of its sand. We test a small area first, so you know what the garage can give before the whole floor is ground.
Garage owners choose between a cream or salt-and-pepper look and between a satin finish and a higher polish. A deeper grind shows more aggregate, which hides small marks better than a smooth cream surface. A dye can turn the floor charcoal, gray or a warm tone; the stained and dyed page covers color in full.
A high shine looks good in an empty bay. Where cars park on it every day, a satin finish is easier to live with, because every scuff shows less.
Polished concrete is not a barrier against chemicals. Clean up oil, antifreeze and battery acid promptly, and keep a mat at the door from the house.
A wet or greasy polished floor can be slick, and its shine is no measure of grip. If the garage sees car washing or a workshop sink, tell us up front so the finish can be planned around it.
Garage size, the level of shine, any dye, the amount of old coating or glue to remove and the number of cracks to fill all change the price. A small floor may not be cheaper per square foot, because setup is the same.
Garage owners can ask next about color, a cheaper finish or how polishing is done. Those answers sit in stained and dyed concrete floors, grind and seal concrete floors and the homepage.
Say how many cars fit in the garage, what covers the floor at the moment, whether there are oil marks or old paint and which finish appeals: polished, dyed or sealed. We'll get back to you soon with an estimate or any questions we have. Estimates are free and there's no obligation.
