Grind
The slab is ground with diamond tooling to remove coverings, stains and trowel marks and to open the surface. The grind is usually coarser than for a polish.

Avondale Polished Concrete grinds and seals concrete floors in Avondale. It is the route for a floor that should look clean and even but does not need every polishing step: the slab is ground, then a sealer goes on, which can suit garages, shops and small commercial spaces.
We work in Avondale, Goodyear and Tolleson, in houses and on small business floors. How contractors define grind and seal varies, so we describe what is included in each quote.
What grind and seal includes
Seal
A sealer goes on after grinding. It is a film on the surface that wears and is renewed, whereas a densified polished floor is hardened in the concrete itself.
Repair and color
Cracks and joints can be filled before sealing, and dye can be added before the sealer goes on. The floor will still show the slab’s own joints and cracks.
Grind and seal or polish
The choice depends on budget, how the floor is used, the slab’s condition and the look you want. A polish refines the surface through finer steps and a densifier, and gives more reflectivity. Grind and seal gives a plainer sealed surface with a matte to gloss sheen, depending on the sealer.
We can show both on a test area, and we give no lifespan numbers for either because they depend on use and on the products chosen.
Sealer finishes
Sealers run from matte to gloss. A sealer is a film that wears under traffic and is recoated. We do not name brands in advance, and we tell you what sealer will go on and how to care for it.
Grind and seal questions
How much does grind and seal cost?
Price turns on floor area, condition, repair and the sealer. Fewer steps mean it can come in below a full polish, but a quote comes only after we see the slab.
How long does a sealed floor last?
It depends on traffic, the sealer and the floor’s use, and we do not give a number. Sealers wear and are recoated.
Is it a cheaper alternative to polished concrete?
It can be, because there are fewer steps and no densifier. The finish is different, so look at both on a test area.
If the floor will take shop traffic and customers, commercial polished concrete shows the higher-sheen route; for a slab buried under flooring, concrete floor restoration comes first. Everything else is on the Avondale Polished Concrete home page.
