How to Choose a Polished Concrete Contractor

Decide on your finish level first

Different contractors specialise in different finishes. If you want a basic grind and seal, a specialist like Grind and Seal Australia offers the best value. If you want a premium mechanical polish or decorative staining, choose a contractor like Policrete or Floortech with deep experience in those finishes. Matching your finish requirements to the contractor's expertise ensures the best result.

Ask to see completed projects in person

Photos can be misleading — polished concrete looks different under different lighting conditions and viewing angles. Ask to see completed projects in person or request multiple photos taken under various lighting. Pay attention to edge quality, joint treatment, and consistency across the floor. A reputable contractor will be proud to show off their recent work.

Get a detailed slab assessment

Before committing to a quote, ensure the contractor has physically inspected the slab. They should test for moisture content, assess hardness, identify cracks and coatings, and confirm the slab is suitable for your desired finish. A contractor who quotes without inspecting the slab is a red flag — unexpected slab issues are the most common cause of cost blowouts.

Understand what is included in the quote

A good quote should itemise surface preparation, grinding, polishing, densifier, sealer, edge work, and clean-up separately. Check whether crack repair, coating removal, and moisture testing are included or charged as extras. Ask about the specific products being used (densifier brand, sealer type, diamond grit sequence) — these details affect both the result and the longevity.

Check insurance and warranty terms

Confirm the contractor carries public liability insurance (minimum $10 million is standard in Australia). Ask about their workmanship warranty — a minimum 12-month warranty on workmanship is standard, with 2–5 years common for premium contractors. Sealer warranties vary by product — topical sealers typically last 2–5 years, while penetrating guards can last 5–10 years.

Consider timing and access logistics

Polished concrete generates significant noise and dust — even with industrial vacuum systems, there will be some disruption. If you are renovating a home you are living in, discuss the work schedule and dust management plan. For new builds, coordinate the polishing schedule with your builder — the floor should be polished after all overhead work (painting, ceiling) is complete but before cabinetry and fixture installation.
