We repair, polish, seal and coat industrial concrete for warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing plants. Cracked joints, chipped corners and spalled slabs fixed for good. Coatings built for forklifts, foot traffic and everything you roll across them.
Industrial floors take a beating every shift. Racking loads, forklift traffic, chemical spills, temperature swings. We handle the repair and the finish, so you are not calling four different contractors for one floor.
Control joints spall, slabs crack, corners chip. We grind out the damage, key in a bond-strength patch and match the surrounding profile so the fix holds under real traffic.
Multi-step diamond grinding and polishing turns a raw slab into a floor that reflects light, resists wear and never needs a wax crew again.
Lithium densifiers, penetrating sealers and topical guards that cut down dust, block moisture and protect the polish you already paid for.
Epoxy coatings, broadcast flake systems, urethane mortars and self-leveling overlays, specified for the chemicals, temperature and traffic your floor actually sees.
A joint that spalls once will keep spalling until it is repaired properly. Forklift wheels find every soft edge, and a small chip left alone turns into a pothole that slows down your whole floor.
We do not skim coat over the problem. We saw cut, grind out unsound concrete, key the patch into solid material and finish it flush so the repair disappears into the slab instead of standing out from it.
Damaged concrete is ground out to sound material and rebuilt flush, so the patch carries load instead of chipping right back out.
Broken joint edges are squared off and filled with a semi-rigid filler that supports the arris and moves with the slab.
Every joint down a high-traffic aisle refilled in one pass, so pallet jacks and forklifts stop hammering the edges apart.
We walk the floor, map every joint failure, crack and spall, and check the slab for moisture and flatness before writing a scope.
Unsound concrete is saw cut and ground out. Diamond tooling profiles the surface so whatever goes down next actually bonds.
Joints, cracks and spalls are filled first. Then we polish, seal, or apply the epoxy or resin system the floor calls for.
We stage cure times around your operation where we can, then walk the finished floor with you before we call it done.
A sample of warehouses, distribution centers and plant floors across the region. Every job below was ground, repaired and finished by our own crews.
Northwest Floor Care started as a small crew fixing floors around the region, and that is still what we do. Three generations in, we have kept the work narrow on purpose: industrial concrete repair, polishing, sealers and resin floor systems, done by crews we train ourselves, not subcontractors we hope show up on time.
We work around your schedule where we can, stage jobs in sections so a distribution floor never has to fully shut down, and stand behind every joint we fill and every coating we lay down.

A spalled control joint is a saw cut joint where the concrete edge has broken or crumbled away, usually from forklift traffic or racking impact. Left alone, it keeps breaking further and can turn into a pothole, so we grind out the damaged concrete and rebuild the joint edge with a bond-strength filler.
Most epoxy and urethane systems allow light foot traffic within 24 to 72 hours and reach full cure for heavy equipment and chemical exposure in about 5 to 7 days, depending on the product, thickness and shop temperature.
Yes. We commonly stage repair, polishing and coating work in sections and schedule around nights and weekends so a distribution or production floor can keep operating while we work.
Polishing mechanically grinds the existing slab to expose and refine the concrete itself, producing a hard, low-maintenance surface with no added coating. Epoxy and resin systems add a bonded topical layer, which suits floors that need color, chemical resistance, or a broadcast flake finish.
Cost depends on the extent of the joint, crack or spall damage, the square footage, and the repair material specified. We walk the floor, put together a written scope, and quote it before any work starts.
Send us a few photos and the square footage, and we will call you back with a straight answer on what it will take to fix it.
