Surface Preparation Questions
Why is surface preparation important before flooring installation?
Proper surface preparation helps ensure the flooring system bonds correctly and performs as intended. Without it, flooring systems can fail prematurely. Flooring systems perform on flatness, sound substrates, and properly prepared concrete.
Do you provide concrete grinding and shot blasting?
Yes. We provide commercial concrete grinding, shot blasting, adhesive removal, surface profiling, and related preparation services. Depending on the project, the process is tailored to the flooring system being installed.
Can you correct uneven concrete floors?
Yes. Depending on the condition of the slab, we provide patching, self-leveling underlayment, concrete repair, and floor preparation. As a result, we create a suitable surface for new flooring installation.
Epoxy & Coatings Questions
Where are epoxy flooring systems commonly used?
Epoxy and resinous flooring systems are commonly used in industrial facilities, manufacturing areas, warehouses, mechanical rooms, labs, healthcare spaces, and high-traffic environments. For example, they are often used where durability and cleanability are critical.
Is epoxy flooring durable?
Yes. When properly specified and installed, epoxy flooring provides a durable, seamless, and easy-to-maintain surface. Therefore, it is well suited for demanding commercial and industrial spaces.
Do epoxy floors require surface preparation?
Yes. Surface preparation is critical for epoxy and resinous coatings. Before installation, the concrete must be properly profiled, cleaned, and evaluated.
Commercial Floor Covering Questions
What commercial floor coverings do you install?
We install commercial carpet tile, broadloom carpet, luxury vinyl tile, vinyl composition tile, sheet vinyl, rubber flooring, and specialty flooring products. In addition, we install related accessories and systems.
What flooring is best for healthcare and medical spaces?
Healthcare flooring often requires durable, cleanable, and low-maintenance materials such as sheet vinyl, LVT, rubber flooring, or specialty resilient flooring. However, the best option depends on the space and performance requirements.
What flooring is best for schools and public buildings?
Schools and public buildings often use carpet tile, LVT, VCT, rubber flooring, entry systems, and gym flooring. Typically, these materials are selected for durability and long-term performance.

Can you help with specifications and budgeting?
Yes. We assist with flooring specifications, product selection, budgeting, estimating, value engineering, and lifecycle planning. As a result, clients can make informed decisions early in the process.
Do you work on phased or occupied renovations?
