A homeowner's one comment made me rethink how I finish garage floors
Last month I was doing a 600 square foot garage slab in Austin, and I was using my usual magnesium float for the final pass. The homeowner watched for a while and said, 'Why is it so slick? I want to walk on it without slipping.' I laughed it off at first, but then I thought about it, so I switched to a broom finish on the next 40 feet. That comment pushed me to learn how to do a proper light broom texture on interior floors, and now I ask every client about traction before I even start. Has anyone else changed their finishing method because a customer pointed out something you never considered?

Why do people always assume smooth means slippery, slick floors are easier to clean and look way better?
