You’re about to get your dream floor. But what exactly does that process involve? Our team is always eager to provide the answers to our customers before a service begins. This way, you can go into the experience with clear expectations – and you can focus on the beautiful and long-lasting final result that awaits.

What We Need for a Successful Service

Our crew likes to walk into an environment that is broom-swept. This ensures that we can get to work as soon as possible. We also need:

  • Water access:
    We access water via a hose bib.
  • Power access:
    If your facility has 3-phase power, we’ll need an electrician to hook up power for our machines. Otherwise, we ask the client to provide a generator. We also need standard 110-volt for battery powered machines.
  • Concrete dust and slurry disposal:
    Generally, we place a dumpster lined with painter’s drop cloth beneath a loading dock, so water can drain out. The most environmentally friendly option is to dig a hole that we can pour the disposal into. Other clients opt to build a wooden box and line it with a painter’s drop cloth.

How Much Time It Takes

Every work site is different – and the timeline required to deliver our service varies with it. But in general, you can count on the following timeline for a two-man crew:

  • 10,000 square-foot open warehouse: Five days
  • 10,000 square-foot space, divided into offices: 12 days

The Noise Level

The work is intensive – but the grinding portion is surprisingly quiet. Our vacuums are the loudest machinery used, and they reach about 90 decibels at their highest.

The Mess Factor

Our process can be messy. But in a wide open space, it’s simple to clean after we’ve laid your flooring. Small offices can result in a slightly more intensive process. For this reason, we suggest laying flooring before you fire painters to designers to come in.
