Polished concrete costs in Knoxville typically range between $4 and $7 per square foot, but that spread can widen quickly if hidden factors aren’t addressed early. CountBricks’ AI estimator highlights these variables before a contract is signed, protecting homeowners from surprises.
• Slab Condition – Coatings, glue, or high-spot grinding can add 20-30% labor time
• Aggregate Exposure – Full-exposure “terrazzo” looks require deeper grinding passes
• Color Dyes – Water-based stains add material and curing time but deliver dramatic effects
• Edge Work – Hand tooling around walls or stairs is slower than open-floor grinding
1. Real-time moisture readings prevent costly rework due to delamination
2. Adaptive labor scheduling matches crew size to square footage, avoiding over-billing
3. Integrated material database updates densifier and dye pricing daily, reflecting current supplier rates
