Serving Johnson County
Retail space renovation concrete services involve updating, repairing, and modernizing concrete elements in existing retail environments to extend building life, improve aesthetics, and meet evolving tenant requirements. In Cleburne, TX, our retail renovation expertise serves shopping centers, standalone retail buildings, and mixed-use developments throughout Johnson County's growing commercial corridors. These projects present unique challenges including working in occupied buildings, matching existing finishes, and coordinating with ongoing business operations that cannot afford extended closures. Retail renovation concrete work encompasses floor restoration and resurfacing, parking lot repairs, entrance and sidewalk upgrades, and structural repairs to aging concrete infrastructure. Unlike new construction, renovation projects require careful assessment of existing conditions, identification of underlying problems, and design of solutions that address root causes while meeting modern standards. Our team specializes in concrete overlay systems that provide new surfaces over existing slabs without extensive demolition, polished concrete restoration to rejuvenate tired floors, and decorative treatments that give dated spaces fresh, contemporary appearances. Cleburne's retail market includes both newer developments along the Chisholm Trail Parkway and established shopping areas along Highway 67 and downtown, each presenting different renovation challenges and opportunities. We work closely with property owners, retail tenants, and property management companies to develop renovation plans that maximize return on investment while minimizing disruption to sales and operations. Our experience with Cleburne's building codes, local material suppliers, and understanding of regional construction practices ensures retail renovation projects are completed efficiently and to the highest standards.

Surface Preparation
ICRI CSP (Concrete Surface Profile) 3-5 achieved through grinding, shot-blasting, or scarifying to ensure proper overlay adhesion. All laitance, sealers, and contaminants removed. Substrate tested for moisture and bond strength.
Structural Repair
Epoxy or polyurethane injection for structural crack repair per ICRI guidelines, full-depth concrete replacement for severely deteriorated sections, and carbon fiber reinforcement for structural strengthening when needed.
Polished Concrete Restoration
Multi-step concrete polishing on existing slabs, removing surface coatings and sealers, repairing spalls and cracks, applying chemical densifiers, and polishing to specified gloss level. Dye or stain systems applied if color enhancement desired.

Cleburne & Johnson County Considerations
Cleburne's established retail corridors along Highway 67 and State Highway 171 include buildings dating from the 1970s-1990s that now require significant concrete renovation. These properties often have underlying issues related to expansive clay soil movement that must be addressed for successful renovation.
Downtown Cleburne's historic commercial district includes retail spaces in buildings over 100 years old. Concrete renovation in these structures requires careful evaluation of existing conditions, compatibility of new materials with historic construction, and sometimes coordination with historic preservation guidelines.
Retail property owners in Cleburne's competitive market are increasingly investing in property improvements to retain quality tenants and maintain lease rates. Well-executed concrete renovation provides visual impact and functional improvements at lower cost than complete reconstruction.
Johnson County's climate presents challenges for retail renovation including hot summers requiring special curing procedures, occasional winter freezes affecting scheduling, and periods of high humidity impacting cure times for coatings and sealers. Material selection and scheduling must account for these factors.
Many of Cleburne's shopping centers cannot accommodate extended closures for renovation work. Phased construction approaches, night and weekend work schedules, and use of rapid-setting materials allow renovations to proceed with minimal impact on retail sales and customer access.
The City of Cleburne's building inspection department is familiar with retail renovation projects and works cooperatively with contractors to facilitate necessary permits and inspections. Early coordination and clear communication ensure smooth approval processes for renovation work in established commercial areas.
