How to Get Screwed on a Polished Concrete Project
08/22/21 • 32 min
This was, by far, the hardest polished concrete project we've ever worked on. The worst part about the job was that we knew it was going to be bad, and we still allowed ourselves to get caught up in it.
In this episode, we are going to walk you through the process from pre-construction, to scheduling to actually doing the work, and were going to show you all of the mistakes we made along the way that would have changed everything for us.

In this episode, we are talking about everything that went on behind the scenes when we stained the concrete for Ballast Point Brewery.
In this project, we ground the concrete to remove tile grout to prep it for the concrete stain. Then we applied the concrete stain and sealed it with epoxy and urethane.
