Best for high-traffic industrial floors

Affordable, durable concrete finishes with grind and seal

Grind and seal is a multi-step process where we mechanically grind the surface of your concrete to remove imperfections, then apply a high-performance sealer. The sealer enhances the concrete’s natural appearance, adds shine, and creates a protective barrier against wear and tear.

Unlike polished concrete, which requires multiple grinding and honing stages, grind and seal offers a faster and more affordable solution with a variety of finish options, including matte, satin, or glossy.

Why High Stakes Epoxy LLC

Most failed epoxy floors were lost before the coating ever came out of the pail.

Coatings don’t fail because of the product. They fail because of what happened — or didn’t happen — to the concrete underneath. That’s the part we refuse to rush.

01 / Prep

We grind. We don’t acid etch.

Every floor gets mechanically diamond-ground to an open concrete profile before anything is applied. It’s slower, dustier and the single biggest reason a floor lasts fifteen years instead of peeling in two.

02 / Materials

Commercial-grade product on residential jobs.

The same coatings we put down in warehouses go into your garage. No thinned box-store kits, no shortcuts on mil thickness to make a number work.

03 / People

The owner is on your job.

High Stakes is owner-operated by Tyler Wilms out of Cleveland, MO. The person who quotes your floor is the person standing on it with a grinder.

04 / After

You get the cure schedule in writing.

When you can walk on it, when you can park on it, how to clean it, and what’s covered. Written down before we leave, not guessed at over the phone a week later.

How long does a grind and seal floor last?

With proper maintenance, grind and seal floors typically last 5–10 years before resealing is needed.

What is the difference between grind and seal and polished concrete?

Grind and seal floors can be made slip-resistant by using additives in the sealer, making them safe for both residential and commercial spaces.

How do you maintain grind and seal concrete floors?

Maintenance is simple — regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a neutral cleaner keeps the surface in excellent condition. Resealing may be needed every few years.
