A finished floor doesn't need much. It just needs the right much.
Most floors that look tired aren't worn out — they're being cleaned wrong. The wrong pH strips a sealer, the wrong pad burnishes dirt into the surface, and mopping spreads a film that dulls everything. We'll set the program, or come restore it.
Tell us what you're looking for and we'll come look at the floor. Free, and no pressure.
Is this the right choice?
We'd rather tell you now than after.
Every finish is wrong for something. Here's where concrete maintenance is the right call and where we'd point you somewhere else.
A good fit when…
- A polished or coated floor has gone dull or hazy
- You want a cleaning program your janitorial team can actually follow
- Traffic lanes look different from the rest of the floor
- A sealer is due for a recoat
- You've got a floor we installed and want to keep it right
We'd suggest something else if…
- The coating has failed and is delaminating — that's a redo, not maintenance
- The slab is damaged underneath the finish
- You want a one-time clean with no change to how it's maintained after
How we do it
The parts that decide whether it lasts.
Neutral pH, or you're stripping as you clean
Most commercial floor cleaners are alkaline and will slowly eat a sealer and dull a polish. A neutral-pH cleaner and clean water does more for a concrete floor than any product marketed as a restorer.
Auto-scrub and pick up, don't mop and spread
A mop moves dirty water around and leaves a film that dulls the finish and builds up over months. An auto-scrubber puts clean solution down and takes dirty solution up. It's the single biggest change most buildings can make.
Re-polishing beats replacing, by a lot
A dull polished floor can usually be brought back with a light re-polish and re-densification at a fraction of a new floor. Diamond-impregnated pads and burnishing handle the routine version.
A written program your crew will follow
Daily, weekly, quarterly and annual — with the products, the pads and the pH, on one page. We'll train your janitorial team on it, because a program nobody follows isn't a program.

Concrete Maintenance, on real jobs.
EDITOR NOTE. Michael's burnisher photo is in. Still thin at four images — a dull floor next to a freshly renewed one, or the burnisher actually running on a job, would make this section much stronger. Then delete this box.
Straight answers
What people ask us about concrete maintenance.
Our floor looks hazy. Is it ruined?
Almost certainly not. Haze is usually a film from mopping, or alkaline cleaner residue. It often comes off with proper cleaning alone. If the surface itself has dulled, a light re-polish brings it back.
How often does a polished floor need re-polishing?
In a normal commercial setting, a long time — years — provided routine cleaning is right. Done wrong, a floor can look tired within months. Which is why the program matters more than the interval.
Can our own janitorial crew handle it?
Yes, and they should — that's the point. We'll give them a one-page program with the right products, pads and procedure, and walk them through it. Then we handle the periodic deep work.
Do you service floors you didn't install?
Yes. We'll identify what's on the floor first, because a polished slab, a sealed floor and an epoxy coating all want different treatment, and treating one like another is how floors get damaged.
