From classic row houses in Annapolis to modern builds across the Eastern Shore, Maryland homeowners are embracing polished concrete as the flooring finish that marries durability with contemporary style. At CountBricks, we combine on-site expertise with AI-powered estimating to deliver polished concrete MD projects that fit your vision, timeline, and budget—without the guesswork.
Performance Meets Aesthetics
• Remarkable longevity—properly polished slabs outlast most floor coverings
• Seamless, low-VOC surface—ideal for families prone to allergies
• High light reflectivity—makes basements and first floors appear brighter
• Design versatility—dyes, saw-cut patterns, and aggregate exposure levels
1. Reuses existing concrete, reducing material waste
2. Eliminates adhesives common in tile or laminate installations
3. Lower maintenance chemicals over the life of the floor
Step 1: Voice-Activated AI Estimate
Our mobile app captures square footage, slab condition, and desired finish while you walk the space. In minutes, CountBricks.com/services provides a line-item quote with real-time material pricing pulled from regional suppliers.
Step 2: Concrete Health Check
Our technicians test moisture content, hardness, and flatness. Results automatically update your project file, allowing the AI to fine-tune labor hours and tooling requirements.
Step 3: Surface Preparation
• Crack repair and joint filling for structural integrity
• Mechanical grinding to remove coatings or paint
• Dust-controlled equipment protects indoor air quality
Step 4: Progressive Polishing
1. Metal-bond diamond grinding: levels slab
2. Application of densifier: hardens surface
3. Resin-bond diamond honing: refines clarity
4. Final polishing pass: achieves the selected sheen
Step 5: Sealing and Handover
A penetrating guard seals against spills while maintaining breathability. You receive a digital care guide via your CountBricks client portal.
Unlike static quotes, CountBricks’ AI continuously aggregates supplier data. If local abrasives drop in price, that savings is reflected instantly in your proposal.
• Standard finish (400–800 grit) $5–$7 per sq. ft.
• High-gloss finish (1,500 grit + stain) $7–$10 per sq. ft.
• Decorative saw cuts & custom dyes Add $1–$3 per sq. ft.
Note: These figures assume sound interior slabs. Repairs or excessive glue removal may adjust totals, but CountBricks AI flags those costs up front.
• Salt-and-pepper exposure for modern kitchens
• Full aggregate reveal for industrial loft aesthetics
• Warm umber and slate gray dyes that complement Mid-Atlantic décor
• Geometric saw-cut borders framing open-concept living areas
1. Integral color in newly poured slabs
2. Acetone-based dyes for vivid tones
3. Water-based stains for muted, earthy hues
Five Pro Tips from CountBricks Field Teams
• Dry dust mop daily to remove grit that can dull the surface
• Damp mop weekly with pH-neutral cleaner—avoid harsh detergents
• Place felt pads under furniture to prevent scuffs
• Reapply guard sealer every 3–5 years for kitchens and high-traffic foyers
• Address spills quickly; polished concrete is stain-resistant, not stain-proof
Every polished concrete MD project includes a two-year workmanship warranty backed by CountBricks’ digital job records. Need service? Your original estimate, color selections, and maintenance logs are accessible 24/7 at CountBricks.com/portfolio.

The Nguyen family contacted CountBricks.com/consultation after water damage forced them to rip up aging carpet in their 1,000 sq. ft. basement. They wanted a kid-friendly play area that could also double as a guest suite. Our AI estimate, generated during a single site visit, compared three flooring options—vinyl plank, tile, and polished concrete MD. When the numbers showed polished concrete offered a lower 10-year cost of ownership, the choice was clear.
• Moisture mitigation: CountBricks crews applied a vapor barrier densifier, reducing readings from 8 lbs to under 3 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft.
• Design personalization: A sky-blue water-based dye matched the Maryland flag’s cross bottony for a subtle local homage.
• Speed: Grinding, polishing, and sealing concluded in four days—two days faster than our AI schedule originally projected, saving the clients an additional 8 % in labor costs.
1. Maintenance simplified—weekly dust mopping keeps the play zone spotless.
2. Allergens reduced—no fibers or grout lines to harbor mold.
3. Property value boosted—post-project appraisal noted a $12,000 increase.
