Extraordinary Flooring has polished concrete floors for Louisiana businesses and homes for over 24 years, completing more than 5,000 projects since 2002. Professional polished concrete typically lasts 20-30+ years in Louisiana, which makes it one of the most durable and cost-effective floors you can own. Call (504) 231-6298 for a free quote.

What Is Concrete Polishing?
Polished concrete isn't a product laid over your floor — it is your floor. Our crews grind the slab with progressively finer diamond tooling, apply a densifier to harden the surface, and refine it to the sheen you choose, from satin to high gloss. The result is a seamless floor that resists wear, reflects light, and never peels, because there's nothing on it to peel. Integral dye can be worked into the slab for colour, and scoring opens up effectively unlimited pattern options.
Quality results come through expert concrete preparation. Every project starts with an assessment of your slab — cracks, flatness, moisture, and old coatings — so the finished floor performs for decades.
Industrial and Warehouse Concrete Polishing
Densified, polished concrete is built for the light to medium industrial and warehouse work we do across Louisiana. It stands up to forklift traffic, pallet jacks, and heavy daily use while cutting dust and lighting costs. That's why it's a standard choice for warehouse and distribution center flooring and industrial flooring.

Polished Concrete for Businesses
Retail stores, restaurants, offices, and healthcare facilities choose polished concrete for the same reasons: it looks clean, it stays clean, and it handles constant foot traffic. Many systems allow return to service within 24-48 hours, so installation doesn't have to shut you down.
We polish and coat floors for retail and commercial spaces and every other sector under our commercial concrete services. Restaurant owner? Here's why New Orleans restaurants choose polished concrete.
Polished Concrete in Louisiana Homes
Polished concrete isn't just for warehouses. Homeowners use it for living areas, basements, and specialty interior spaces where they want a modern look with almost no upkeep. It pairs well with Louisiana's climate — no carpet to hold humidity, no wood to warp.

How to Maintain Polished Concrete Floors
Low maintenance is the biggest reason people choose polished concrete. Care is simple:
- Dust mop regularly to keep grit from dulling the shine.
- Damp mop with a neutral cleaner — skip acidic or harsh chemicals.
- Wipe spills promptly, especially in kitchens and shops.
- Re-burnish occasionally in high-traffic commercial spaces to refresh the gloss.
Polished concrete lasts 20+ years in Louisiana when properly maintained. For the full routine, read our five tips for maintaining your polished concrete flooring.
Polished Concrete vs. Epoxy Flooring
Both finishes start with your existing slab, and we install both — so our recommendation is based on your space, not what we sell.
- Polished concrete refines the slab itself. Best for showrooms, warehouses, retail, and homes that want a 20-30+ year floor with minimal upkeep.
- Epoxy adds a protective resin layer. Best where you need chemical resistance, bold color, or a sealed surface over a worn slab.

What Concrete Polishing Costs
Our published 2026 range for polished concrete is $3 to $8 per square foot. A basic single-pass grind and seal or low-sheen polish on a clean slab runs $3 to $4, standard commercial and retail high-gloss polishing runs $4 to $6, and heavy aggregate exposure, deep repairs, or intricate dyed patterns push toward $7 to $8. Polished concrete is the lowest-cost finish we install, sitting below neat and solid-color epoxy, decorative flake, quartz, and metallic. What moves the price is the slab's condition, how much grinding it needs, the sheen level, and the square footage. Adding integral dye or scored patterns raises it, and a heavily decorated polished floor can meet or exceed the cost of an epoxy system. Because polished concrete lasts decades with simple maintenance, its lifetime cost is usually lower than flooring that gets replaced every few years.
