For routine cleaning, use a slightly damp mop or regular dust mop. Never use detergents as they will cloud the sealer.

What not to do: Rubber underlayment stuck to floor

Do not lay rubber backed mats on a sealed concrete floor. Doing so could result in permanent discoloration due to trapped moisture and the rubber will stick to the sealer. You can place a thin cotton or linen cloth directly on the floor and then lay the rubber backed mat over it to protect the floor. When using carpet pads under area rugs, be sure to use a high quality pad. The inexpensive pads have a high amount of rubber in them and will also stick to your floor.

If you follow these suggestions your floor will be beautiful for many years.

The entire entryway of this Colorado Springs home was masked to prevent any damage from the coal slag during the sandblasting process and later from the color which was applied.

We respect your property and belongings! As part of every project, we protect the work area from dust, color, and debris so there’s no need for you to clean up after we leave.

After you have removed smaller objects (like furniture or planters) we use masking film to protect walls, landscaping, and other immovable items. As the project progresses, masking film is replaced as needed to ensure that it continues to do its job. When the project is complete, all film and tape is removed and disposed of and a complete sweep of the area is performed to be sure we are not leaving debris behind.

A collection of album covers decorate one wall of this “man-cave” in Lafayette. The entire wall was masked to protect the covers from dust during the grinding process.

Outstanding landscaping sets this Brighton home apart. We carefully wrapped rocks, exterior walls, and an outdoor kitchen to protect the surfaces from the sandblasting process.

This Wheat Ridge home has a concrete wall, siding, and landscaping which were masked to protect them from any overlay material.

TMCC ground the concrete down to the aggregate, we repaired the cracks and spalling, then we stained the entire floor with an acid stain using Brickform Coffee and Brickform Amber stains. We applied a clear sealer by H & C, and then we waxed the floor with Day Star wax to give the floor a nice, glossy, polished finish. The final product is a contempory look while maintaining the warehouse character of this new grocery store.

Double Basin Concrete Countertop

We had a wonderful time working with the customers on the design of this double-basin, black and white concrete countertop.  An on-site template was made to ensure that the countertop fit nicely into the designated spot–and this one fit perfectly when finished!  The template was brought back to the shop and a form was built, making sure that the sinks and holes for the faucets were located accurately.  The first step was to ‘pack’ the black concrete into the form.  Once it had set up, white polymer modified concrete was troweled to fill in all the voids left from packing.  Once filled and cured, we ground and sanded the countertop to give it a clean surface.  Polyaspartic was applied to seal the project.  Krystal and Craig are very happy with the addition to their remodeled bathroom.
