Diamond grinding plus a clear protective seal — the industrial-modern floor for lofts, retail and budget-smart garages.
Not every space wants a new surface on top of the concrete. Downtown lofts, galleries, coffee shops and converted warehouses across Los Angeles are built around the look of the slab itself — and grind and seal is how that look gets durable. We diamond-grind the floor flat and clean, repair cracks and divots, and seal the exposed concrete under a clear protective coat.
The grinding is the same preparation standard we bring to every garage and commercial install: machine-ground to a true bonding profile, vacuumed clean, repaired rigid. The difference is what goes on top — instead of an opaque coating system, a clear seal that stops dusting, resists stains and brings out the slab's natural variation. Materials are VOC-free, so occupied buildings keep operating while we work.
The raw-concrete aesthetic, minus the dust and stains that come with actually raw concrete.
A clean, durable, fast-install floor that keeps fit-out budgets focused on the storefront.
Dust control and easier sweeping at the lowest cost per square foot we install.
A sealed, presentable floor now — upgradeable to a flake system later.
Grind and seal installs at $6.50–$9 per square foot — $2,600–$3,600 for a space up to 400 sq ft. It is the most economical floor we offer, and every project starts at $2,600.
Want color or more protection for the same slab? Solid color epoxy adds an opaque wearing surface, and quartz adds slip-resistant texture — the LA epoxy guide compares every system and price side by side.
The slab is machine-ground flat, exposing clean fresh concrete.
Dust extraction keeps the building clean and the surface ready to seal.
Cracks and divots filled rigid and ground flush with the surface.
A protective seal locks the surface against stains and dusting.
Grind and seal means we diamond-grind the existing slab to expose clean, fresh concrete, repair cracks and divots, then protect the surface under a clear seal. The slab itself is the finish — what you see is your own concrete, flattened, cleaned up and sealed against stains and dusting.
An epoxy system builds an opaque new wearing surface over the slab — a moisture-barrier epoxy basecoat plus a decorative layer and a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat. Grind and seal keeps the concrete visible and simply seals it. It costs less and suits the industrial-modern look, while a full coating system adds more build, more chemistry and a longer warranty.
Grind and seal runs $6.50 to $9 per square foot installed — $2,600 to $3,600 for a space up to 400 sq ft. Every project starts at $2,600, and the exact number comes from a free on-site measure.
Far less than bare concrete. Bare slab drinks oil, wine and tire marks into the surface; the seal closes those pores so spills sit on top long enough to wipe up. Heavy chemical exposure or standing automotive fluids are better served by a full epoxy system, which we will tell you plainly during the estimate.
Lofts and creative offices that want the raw-concrete look, retail floors that need a clean durable surface on a budget, warehouses where appearance matters less than dust control, and garages where the budget leads. If the slab has heavy patching or ugly repairs, a flake or solid color system hides them better — grind and seal shows the slab as it is.
