Cost of Polished Concrete Floor Projects

While there are many factors that go into the cost of a flooring project, we’ve broken down what you can expect from some of our most common polished concrete projects. You can also see how polished concrete compares to other popular flooring options here.

Polished Concrete Worktops & Benchtops Cost

Commercial spaces cost less at $2 to $8 per square foot since a larger crew and machinery can be onsite for quicker job completion, and there are fewer edges to be done in large open spaces.

Polished Concrete Basement Floor Cost

Polished concrete basement floors cost $3 to $12 per square foot or between $2,000 and $8,000 on average. By polishing the basement floor, the substrate, although dense, remains breathable, and the reduced moisture vapor eliminates mold and mildew growth. Polishing concrete also adds brightness to a basement if highly honed.

Polished Concrete Patio & Driveway Cost

Polishing a concrete patio or driveway costs $3 to $8 per square foot on average, depending on the size, complexity, number of colors, and sheen. Outdoor polished concrete requires ongoing maintenance to retain its look and lengthen its lifespan.
