Concrete Polishing
If you want a satiny sheen, you can have it.
Or, if you prefer high-gloss, you can have that too.
The way polished concrete is catching on as a floor material, it might actually dethrone marble or granite as the number one luxurious flooring material.

Concrete Staining Concrete stainin
g is a time-tested way of giving some color to the dull grayness that is synonymous with concrete.
The liquid mixture will penetrate the concrete because of its piousness, and it will react causing a permanent change of color in the concrete.

Crack Repairs
When repairing concrete cracks, the professionals use materials that both fill out the existing crack and hold its sides to prevent the crack from spreading further:
Engraving Concrete
Decorative Overlays

Decorative Overlays
Concrete overlays are usually made out of cement, aggregates, and resins, and they are very effective in smoothing out the surface of the concrete. Some overlays can be further customized by staining or dying, but they can be stamped with patterns or stencils to make some really amazing effects.
