Retail expansion in Redding, CA has accelerated in recent years, thanks to regional development initiatives, downtown revitalization, and the arrival of more national chains. According to the City of Redding’s economic development updates, commercial real estate projects have increased annually since 2020. As these projects grow, the need for commercial flooring that’s affordable, durable, and attractive has never been greater.
Simplicity Flooring & Tile has played a part in this growth, working with local and national brands to create polished concrete floors that look sharp and last. From big-box stores to neighborhood boutiques, the right concrete finish supports brand presentation, safety, and long-term facility care.
Simplicity will be contributing to the upcoming Downtown Redding Revitalization Program — more details coming soon.
Polished concrete isn’t just a finish; it’s a process. For this retail project, Simplicity Flooring & Tile applied a detailed, start-to-finish approach that balanced performance with presentation. Below is a breakdown of how we handled each phase:
Before any polishing could begin, we made sure the slab was structurally sound and ready for a long-lasting finish.
We worked around the client’s schedule to minimize impact on their opening timeline and delivered precise polishing results.
We take a lot of pride in helping national retailers open on time and with floors that are built to last. On this job, our crew delivered a finish that not only looks clean and professional but will stand up to years of customer traffic with minimal maintenance."

Most retail polished concrete installs take 2–4 days depending on square footage and prep needs.
Not when protected with a guard coat. It resists food, drink, and chemical stains.
On average, polished concrete flooring costs just $0.25 per square foot annually to maintain — compared to $2 to $4 per square foot for traditional vinyl floor tile. That’s a savings of thousands per year in cleaning, waxing, and replacement costs, making it one of the most cost-effective retail flooring options long-term.
