Thank you Utahfab.

I had concrete floors stained in the 2,269 1970s home I've just finished. It looks awful. They didn't slurry the carpet tack holes properly, they left glue in the areas that had vinyl and the stain did some peculir things in some areas meaning it left spots that look as if one of my dogs had an accident and I didn't clean it up.

I love the look of the floors and they are easy to maintain, but know your contractor and be preparred for it NOT to look like the brochures. I'm putting my house on the market and I'm sure the floors will become an issue. I actually like them but I will say they are hard on the body - there is no give as you can guess and I find that I walk around in heavy duty flip flops or tennis shoes.

I obvioulsy have a love/hate relationship with these floors and if the contractor had done a better job perhaps I would feel differently. You can always paint or carpet over them if you don't like the look. Bbob

Bbob-
Thank you for your consern. I am doing a lot of research to make sure thats its done right.

Thanks for everyones help. I found someone who is going to shot blast the existing concrete, then resurface with micro topping, job will be sealed with Master Seal. I'll let you know how it turns out.
