What We Do
2 Palms is a pure polishing specialty. No epoxy coatings, no decorative overlays, no concrete pouring. Every service listed here is something we do ourselves, with our own equipment, on every job.
The real thing — no coatings, no shortcuts.
IDEAL FOR
Car collector garages, aircraft hangars, luxury residences, commercial showrooms.
Mechanical polishing using progressive diamond tooling to achieve a glass, satin, or matte finish. The process works the slab itself — grinding through successive grits, applying a chemical densifier to harden the surface, and then polishing to the specified sheen level.
The result is a floor that is part of the concrete, not applied on top of it. It won't peel, chip, or delaminate. It gets harder over time. And it looks exactly as good — or better — than the day it was finished, provided it receives basic maintenance.
Available finishes: matte (400 grit), satin (800 grit), glass (1500–3000 grit). Aggregate exposure level is determined during the grinding phase and can range from cream finish to full aggregate reveal.
A practical, durable solution for working floors.
IDEAL FOR
Working garages, shops, warehouses, light commercial spaces.
The slab is ground to expose aggregate and profile the surface, then sealed with a penetrating or topical sealer. Less labor-intensive than full polishing, and appropriate for spaces where a sealed, low-maintenance floor is the priority over a high-gloss finish.
Penetrating sealers harden the surface and provide chemical resistance without changing the appearance significantly. Topical sealers add a sheen and provide a surface film that can be reapplied as needed.
This is a practical choice for working garages, shops, warehouses, and commercial spaces where the floor needs to perform under heavy use without requiring the investment of a full polish.
Bring an existing floor back to what it should be.
IDEAL FOR
Any existing polished, sealed, or coated concrete floor that needs to be corrected or refreshed.
Existing polished or sealed floors that have lost their finish, developed staining, or suffered surface damage can often be restored without replacement. The process involves assessing the current condition, addressing any structural issues (cracks, spalling, surface contamination), and then re-grinding and re-polishing to the original specification — or better.
Restoration is almost always more cost-effective than tearing out and replacing a slab, and in many cases the restored floor performs better than the original because the underlying issues are corrected in the process.
Common restoration scenarios: floors that were polished by others and never achieved the right finish, floors damaged by chemical spills or heavy equipment, and floors where a previous coating has failed and needs to be removed.
Protect the investment you've already made.
IDEAL FOR
Any existing polished concrete floor, particularly high-value collector garages and commercial spaces.
A polished concrete floor is a long-term asset. Scheduled maintenance keeps it performing at the level it was built to — and extends the life of the surface significantly.
Maintenance typically involves re-applying densifier, re-polishing to restore sheen, and re-sealing the surface. The frequency depends on traffic, use, and the original finish level. Most residential and collector garage floors require maintenance every two to five years. High-traffic commercial floors may need annual attention.
We provide an honest assessment of what your floor needs and schedule maintenance on a cycle that makes sense for the space — not more often than necessary.
The step most contractors skip — and why it matters.
IDEAL FOR
Any project where surface quality matters — collector garages, luxury residences, commercial showrooms.
High spots, low spots, lippage between slabs, and out-of-flat conditions need to be corrected before finishing begins. Skipping this step means the final polish will follow the surface irregularities of the slab rather than correcting them — and the result will show it.
Slab correction involves grinding down high points and filling low areas to bring the surface within tolerance. For collector garages and showroom-quality floors, this is not optional. It is the foundation of the entire job.
This service is also performed as a standalone scope for contractors who need a slab prepared for a new coating, flooring installation, or other finish system.
The right substrate for whatever comes next.
IDEAL FOR
New construction, renovation projects, coating removal, flooring prep.
Slab preparation for new coatings, polishing, or flooring installation. We remove existing coatings, adhesives, tile, glue, and surface contaminants, then grind and profile the slab to the correct specification for the next system.
Profile is measured in CSP (Concrete Surface Profile) and needs to match the requirements of the coating or finish being applied. We grind to the specified CSP and confirm the surface is clean, flat, and ready before the next trade takes over.
This is also the correct first step for any polishing project — proper surface prep determines the quality of everything that follows.
