Polished Concrete Floors in Markham — what to know
The Decor Coatings crew installs polished concrete floors for homeowners and businesses in Markham. Low-maintenance architectural flooring with a seamless, modern finish. Markham homes trend toward high-spec finishes and larger-than-average garages and basements — making it one of our most frequent sources of garage epoxy, basement coating, and decorative concrete feature requests.
Markham sits in the York region, and our scheduling runs same-day for consults. Local building eras range from mid-century bungalows to modern custom builds, which is why our quoting process always starts with an in-person slab inspection. For polished concrete specifically, that means mechanical polish — no coatings, no vocs, lithium silicate densification for hardness and stain resistance, matched to the actual condition of your slab or wall.
Our quotes include a written specification: what system, what thickness, what cure time, what warranty. Most residential jobs are booked within two weeks of quote acceptance.
Process
- 1.Floor assessment: slab condition, aggregate size, existing coatings
- 2.Removal of any existing coating or adhesive residue
- 3.Coarse grinding to open the surface and expose aggregate

Common questions
Can you polish an older or stained slab?+
Usually yes. Older slabs often grind up beautifully once the top layer is removed. Deep stains or oil penetration can show through, which we document before starting so there are no surprises.
Does it stay shiny forever?+
The polish holds for years with normal residential use. Commercial floors benefit from a yearly buff with a lithium polish-conditioner. If the shine ever drops, we can re-polish the top layer in a day without starting over.
Do you serve all of Markham?+
Yes — we work across every neighbourhood in Markham, including Unionville, Thornhill, Cornell, and surrounding areas. Scheduling is same-day for consults.
How does Markham's climate affect polished concrete?+
The GTA's humidity swings and winter heating cycle affect substrate moisture, which is why we moisture-test every slab before scheduling. Polished Concrete systems are selected to handle the conditions we find — including the salt and freeze-thaw stress that garage floors see from November through April.
