For some reason I cannot fathom, my friends seem to think that I'm an expert in concrete polishing. I suppose it has something to do with the way my concrete floor turned out. To be honest, though, I didn't really do it myself; I just went to the Concrete Polishing website to find a contractor in my area. But as I did self-renovate the majority of my house, I couldn't shake off the idea that I'm in some sort of secret society of concrete polishers, complete with secret handshake.
Nevertheless, I went to my friend's place last week because he wanted me to get a look at his own concrete floor. I recommended my contractor to my friend, but he preferred to have me take it a look at it first before calling someone. He heard that not all concrete could be polished. So before doing anything drastic, he determined that I should check out if the concrete was fit for the task.
We needed to see the totality of the floor, but my friend's place was carpeted all throughout. The first task, then, was for us to remove the carpet. Problem was, the carpet was nailed down to the concrete floor. I then thought that if we were to even check the concrete floor, we'll have to do something drastic after.
My friend was persistent, though. Soon, the carpet was all rolled up in the attic. Now as I told people time and again, I'm no concrete expert, but I was really skeptical about this case. The floor had a lot of chipped concrete parts from the places it had been nailed into. It also had some kind of white sand-like coating.
Well, it was at least easy to convince my friend to call the contractor after that. It's good to have a professional opinion, so I went back there a few days later with the guy.
As luck would have it, even the contractor seemed skeptical when he first saw the house. Unlike us, however, who seemed hopeless, he had an idea. He said that it was still doable, but it'd require us to be more creative. We will work out the imperfections into a pattern. My friend was willing to try it out. - 15359
