SURFACE PREPERATION

We offer a full array of surface preparation services.

Floor Removal We have a full fleet of flooring removal machinery. Everything from small walk-behind tools for confined areas to large ride-on machines for more open spaces. We can remove all types of existing flooring including ceramic tile. We have the experience and equipment for expert removal of existing adhesives prior to the new installation.

Concrete Grinding Our diamond wheel grinding equipment allows us to remove curled concrete joints, humps, etc to ensure a smooth and flat finished floor. All of our grinding equipment contains dust-collection systems for dry, dust-free grinding.

Shot Blasting If floor profiling is in order, we own numerous shot blasting machines to get the job done. This is especially important to ensure a proper bond for ceramic tile and cement-based underlayment in remodel situations.

Cement-Based Underlayment Application Our installers have the experience and know-how to perform subfloor filling, patching, skimcoting and pouring of self-leveling products. Many of our installers have received Ardex training and certification.

Moisture Barriers Today's fast-track construction schedules can make it difficult to achieve low levels of moisture emission from concrete slabs required of some types of flooring. We have the experience and product knowledge to install both membrane-style and surface coat moisture barrier systems prior to new floor installation.
