How Much Does It Cost to Polish Concrete in Volusia County?

If you're considering polished concrete for your warehouse, retail space, or office in Florida, one of your first questions is likely: “How much does it cost to polish concrete?”

At Bungay Flooring Systems, we specialize in helping commercial property owners and contractors in Volusia County choose smart, durable flooring systems that last. In this post, we’re breaking down the real costs of concrete polishing — what factors influence pricing, what to expect, and why it's often more affordable than you think over the long run.

✅ Average Cost of Concrete Polishing

Across Florida, the average cost to polish concrete ranges between $3.50 to $7.00 per square foot. However, this can vary based on several key factors (we'll break those down below).

Here’s a general guide for commercial spaces:

Finish Level	Cost (Per Sq. Ft.)	Description
Basic Grind & Seal	$3.00 – $4.50	One or two grind passes, sealed surface — good for utility areas
Standard Polish	$4.50 – $6.00	Smooth, matte to satin finish with stain guard
High-Gloss Polish	$6.00 – $7.50+	Full multi-step process with reflective finish, densifier, and seal

🧱 What Impacts the Cost of Concrete Polishing?

Not all slabs or job sites - are created equal. Here’s what can move your quote up or down:

1. Condition of the Existing Floor

Cracks, spalls, uneven surfaces, glue residue, or coatings must be repaired or removed before polishing. The more surface prep required, the higher the labor and time.

🔧 At Bungay, we always start with a detailed inspection so there are no surprises later.

2. Size of the Project

Larger square footage = lower price per square foot due to economies of scale. Small jobs under 1,000 sq. ft. may have minimum pricing.

3. Desired Finish Level

Glossy showroom floors require more grinding passes and time than a utility satin finish. Decorative scoring or stains also raise costs.

4. Location & Accessibility

Is the space wide open or full of shelving? Is it on the first floor or up an elevator? Logistics affect install time.

5. Use of Sealers or Stains

Additives like densifiers, dyes, or water-resistant sealers can slightly increase pricing — but they can also add major value and protection.

🌴 Florida-Specific Factors

In humid Florida climates like DeLand, Daytona Beach, and Port Orange, concrete polishing must account for:

• Moisture levels in the slab (we always test first)

• Air movement and dry time for densifiers and sealers

• Slip resistance for safety, especially in outdoor-facing or high-traffic areas

  
  

Our team uses dust-controlled equipment and high-performance sealers designed to handle Florida’s heat and humidity.

🔄 Is Polished Concrete Worth the Investment?

Absolutely — and here’s why:

• No peeling or flaking like coatings

• Low maintenance — just sweep and mop

• 20+ year lifespan with proper care

• No wax or reapplication needed

• Boosts property value and visual appeal

  
  

Compared to tile or vinyl, polished concrete often costs less over time due to reduced maintenance and repairs.
