At Permaco, we transform concrete into a durable, low-maintenance, and visually striking surface. Our polished concrete services include commercial and retail spaces, stained and decorative finishes, and high-gloss or satin sheens, all tailored to Cary’s unique mix of homes, offices, and hospitality venues.
Cary’s growth has fueled demand for flooring that’s as functional as it is stylish. From new retail developments in West Cary to renovations at South Hills Mall & Plaza, polished concrete has become a go-to choice for business owners, and property managers who want modern aesthetics with minimal upkeep.
Polished concrete offers an easy-to-clean surface ideal for open floor plans. In commercial districts like Fenton or Downtown Cary, it provides the durability to withstand heavy foot traffic without losing its shine. With Cary’s humid summers and cool winters, a properly polished and sealed concrete floor can outlast many other flooring types, saving time and money over the long term.
Why Polished Concrete Is the Smart Choice for Cary’s Commercial Spaces
Cary’s commercial spaces demand flooring that balances style and long-term value. Polished concrete delivers on all three. Its hardened, densified surface stands up to heavy foot traffic in areas like South Hills Mall & Plaza without the scratching, staining, or wear that often plague other flooring types.
For property managers and business owners, the low-maintenance appeal is just as important: polished concrete requires only routine dust mopping and the occasional wet clean, with no need for waxing or special coatings, which translates into lower upkeep costs and fewer disruptions.
Visually, polished concrete is highly versatile, offering everything from subtle satin finishes ideal for professional offices to high-gloss surfaces that make retail showrooms brighter and more inviting.
Decorative stains and custom branding can also be added to match the look and feel of a business. The material is equally practical for Cary’s climate, resisting the humidity of summer and the cooler conditions of winter without warping or deteriorating.
Since it makes use of the existing slab, polished concrete is also one of the most sustainable flooring choices, reducing waste and improving energy efficiency through natural light reflection. Altogether, it’s a smart flooring solution for Cary’s growing commercial landscape.

Permaco’s Polishing Process
At Permaco, polished concrete is a precision process designed for long-term performance in Cary’s commercial spaces. From spaces near MacGregor Downs to a showroom in West Cary’s new retail center, our process is built to deliver a consistent, high-performance finish every time.
1. Moisture & Hardness Testing
Before any grinding begins, we test your concrete slab’s moisture levels and surface hardness. This makes sure we select the right densifier and avoid future problems like delamination or uneven sheen.
2. Precision Grinding
We use a multi-grit progression tailored to your specific concrete type and condition. This step removes surface imperfections and opens the pores for densifier penetration, creating the foundation for a flawless finish.
3. Densifying for Strength
A liquid densifier is applied to chemically harden the concrete, improving surface strength and abrasion resistance, important for high-traffic areas like Fenton retail spaces or Downtown Cary offices.
4. Polishing to Your Chosen Sheen
Regardless of if you want a matte, satin, semi-gloss, or high-gloss finish, we refine the surface through successive polishing passes until the desired clarity and reflectivity are achieved.
5. Protective Sealing
We apply a penetrating sealer to guard against spills, stains, and moisture intrusion, making your polished floor as easy to maintain as it is beautiful.
Do I Need a Permit to Install Polished Concrete Floors in Cary?
In most cases, no permit is required for interior polished concrete. However, if the project is part of a larger renovation in commercial spaces, such as those in Fenton or the South Hills redevelopment, it may fall under broader building permit requirements.
