Considering an upgrade to your commercial concrete floors? Unsure whether to restore or cover them?

At ACT Restoration, we know from decades of experience that when considering the cost of concrete floor restoration, most Minnesota businesses won’t fully replace concrete unless it’s structurally unsalvageable. 

More often, owners face the decision between restoring the concrete or covering it with materials like tile, carpet, or LVT. Restoration frequently delivers stunning results while preserving the strength of your concrete slab and can save you significant expense.

Here’s what Minnesota businesses should know in 2025 to help make the best flooring decision.

Concrete Floor Restoration Methods: Save Existing Concrete

There are several concrete floor restoration methods that companies like ACT Restoration can implement to save your concrete floors. For example, if your concrete floor has old glue or adhesives, we can still save and restore your floor. 

With the right process, even cracked or damaged concrete can be restored to a clean, polished, and highly durable finish. 

Let’s take a look at the different concrete floor restoration methods…

  • Crack Filling: Professional filling of surface and deeper cracks to restore integrity.
  • Resurfacing/Topping: Applying a fresh overlay that bonds to existing concrete – after proper concrete floor prep, of course!
  • Concrete Polishing: Grinding and polishing to achieve a smooth, glossy finish
  • Wet-Grind Method: Option for low dust – ACT Restoration’s specialized process to remove surface-level cracks, impurities, bumps, and ridges to create a smooth surface.
  • Patching: Targeted repair of chipped or broken areas.
  • Trip Hazard Repair: Grinding down any hazard that is over a quarter of an inch high that could cause a trip and fall accident.
  • Dyes & Stains: Custom color enhancements and decorative finishes.

Understanding Pricing: Why Each Project Is Unique

Now that you know how your concrete floors can be saved, it’s important to note that several factors affect the cost of concrete floor restoration. The cost of concrete floor restoration varies based on your facility’s size, the floor’s condition, and the desired finish. 

Each site requires a customized evaluation to provide an accurate price because no two projects are exactly alike.

Covering Concrete Floors: What to Expect

Many businesses opt to cover concrete floors with tile, carpet, or LVT, depending on design preferences. It’s important to remember that even when covering, some level of concrete repair and preparation is almost always necessary to ensure durability and a quality finish. 

ACT Restoration specializes in preparing your concrete for a lasting surface, whether restored or covered.

When Concrete Floor Replacement is Necessary

If your concrete has major structural issues that cannot be repaired, full replacement becomes the last resort. This involves demolition and pouring new concrete, which is generally more costly and time-consuming than restoration or covering.
