From North Park bungalows to La Jolla estates, homeowners across the county are typing “polish san diego” into search bars as they hunt for a flooring upgrade that delivers style, strength, and sustainability. Polished concrete checks every box, and CountBricks is the local tech-powered partner turning that trend into flawless reality.
San Diego’s salty air and sandy foot traffic are brutal on carpet and hardwood. Polished concrete hardens the existing slab, resists abrasion, and stands up to beach gear, kids, and pets without flaking or warping.
• High thermal mass moderates indoor temperatures and reduces HVAC run-times
• Glossy finishes amplify natural light, cutting daytime lighting bills
• Sleek visual that pairs with coastal, mid-century, or farm-style interiors
• No wax, chemical strippers, or aggressive cleaners required
Homeowners love the look, but most still ask the same question: “What will polished concrete cost in my house?” Traditional estimating is slow, heavily manual, and vulnerable to surprise change orders. CountBricks wipes out those uncertainties.

• New slabs need a 28-day cure before polishing
• Older slabs with major cracks may require patching or overlays, all flagged during our initial AI scan
Not when installed correctly. CountBricks adds micro-texture during final burnishing to keep the coefficient of friction above residential safety standards.
• Ask for a salt-and-pepper aggregate exposure; it hides dust yet delivers sparkle
• Schedule polishing before installing cabinets to avoid tight corner work fees
• Opt for lithium densifier for higher surface hardness and lower maintenance costs
• Use area rugs only after the sealer cures for 24 hours to prevent pattern imprints
• Review your CountBricks dashboard weekly; small scope tweaks early save money later

A recent CountBricks project in Pacific Beach converted a dated carpeted condo into a minimalist retreat using polished concrete. The 1,100 sq ft slab showed old adhesive, hairline cracks, and high moisture readings—classic coastal challenges.
• Our AI takeoff calculated 1,047 usable square feet after deducting walls and kitchen islands, trimming 4 % from the client’s original estimate.
• Moisture mitigation was flagged automatically, and a vapor-tolerant primer was added to the materials list without human intervention.
• The platform sequenced a 6-step grind up to a 3,000-grit polish, projected at 2.5 working days with a two-person crew.
The condo reached a 65-GU gloss rating, exceeded slip-resistance targets, and finished $1,240 under budget thanks to real-time cost tracking. The owner received a time-stamped photo log and an interactive maintenance plan hosted on CountBricks.com/portfolio, ensuring the floor’s long-term shine.
• Schedule slab moisture testing in spring; San Diego’s mild rains can spike humidity in winter.
• Incorporate subtle pebble aggregates common in local mixes to mirror beach textures.
• Use CountBricks automated reminders to re-burnish high-traffic zones every 18 months—less downtime, more brilliance.
