The Levels of Polished Concrete
Knowing the different levels of polished concrete will help your clients visualize the finished product. It will also help make the bid process more accurate. We have provided a polished concrete spectrum resource to help you determine the best outcome for your client.
The Polished Concrete Spectrum
The look CCPP can create for your concrete floor ranges from completely flat to an almost mirror-like clarity. The magic lies in the polishing. Take a look at our process and outcomes and then ask for pricing on your favorite options when you request a quote.

Masters of our craft
I wish all of our subcontracters ran their company like CCPP. Their bids are clear, they are always responsive when I have questions or need clarification, and most importantly, they always do what they say they are going to do when they say they are going to do it!
