This was, by far, the hardest polished concrete project we've ever worked on. The worst part about the job was that we knew it was going to be bad, and we still allowed ourselves to get caught up in it.
In this episode, we are going to walk you through the process from pre-construction, to scheduling to actually doing the work, and were going to show you all of the mistakes we made along the way that would have changed everything for us.

In this episode we talk about how we were fired from a polished concrete job before it even started. We also discuss how the relationships between superintendents and project managers can negatively effect your relationship with general contractors and owners.

This the 9th episode (and the 3rd video episode) of the Hacking Concrete podcast.
In this episode we talk about how we installed 12k square feet of metallic epoxy. This was one of the most difficult (and fun) projects we've ever taken on, and it was fun to sit down and talk about it now that it's over.
Thanks for letting us use the lizard clip, Neco.

On this episode we talk about getting one-star business reviews. It can happen to anyone and we talk about how frustrating/disheartening/embarrassing it can be. More importantly, we discuss what you can do about it!
We’re looking forward to our upcoming trip to the World of Concrete trade show in Las Vegas. Are you going? Let us know by sending us a message on Instagram. DM either of us @modernpolishedconcrete or @timdcva. We’d love to hang out while we are there.
It happens to all business owners. No matter how hard we try, we can't always avoid mistakes. This episode is about some of our biggest disasters.
Here is a link to the polished floor we discuss early in the episode.
We ran across an article in the newspaper about someone who was unhappy with a polished concrete job. We discuss specific quotes in the article and what could have been done to avoid some of the problems.
This is the story of our first big metallic epoxy project.
This was a 9 day project that consisted of the following: * Day 1-3 Grind & patch the concrete * Day 4 Apply primer * Day 5 Apply epoxy mortar membrane * Day 7 Apply metallic primer * Day 8 Trowel metallic epoxy * Day 9 Apply Urethane
Early in the show, we discuss marketing. We always struggle with whether or not we are being too sale-sy and how that effects our business's image.
Here is a link to the new marketing video we created as a first step to refining our image.
Here is a link to the article that Coatings Pro Magazine wrote about the metallic epoxy project. (Page 40)
In this episode we tell you our story of how we went from not owning a concrete grinder one month to grinding & polishing 80k square feet the next month. We cover everything from making samples, pre-construction meetings with a huge company, & executing the project.
