Repairs and Preventative Maintenance

Retail environments face constant wear and tear. Our preventative maintenance and repair services help maintain safety, appearance and functionality while helping with stain remediation, store conversions and normal wear and tear from all the traffic these floors see.

Our Services:

  • Repairs: Addressing any floor damage will help prevent safety risks, moisture intrusion, contamination risks and further deterioration. These repairs minimize downtime, prevent further deterioration and keep your facility looking clean and professional.
  • Resurfacing: Restore worn or dull floors with professional resurfacing. This process creates a smooth, seamless surface that is easy to clean, improves appearance, enhances durability and extends the service life of your floor. Resurfacing systems can be customized to meet the specific needs of your store.
  • Preventative Maintenance: Proactive maintenance is critical for extending the life of your floor and avoiding costly repairs. There are specific cleaning and maintenance guidelines for resinous or polished concrete systems that should be followed to prevent damage to the floors. Through routine inspections and scheduled upkeep, we help identify any issues before they become major problems and help keep your floors as safe as possible.
  • Stain Remediation: Our stain remediation solutions remove discoloration, spills and surface blemishes from your floors, keeping your facility clean, professional and visually appealing.

Inspections and Evaluations

Routine inspections and evaluations will help identify the current condition of your floor and identify any problem areas in need of repairs or maintenance to keep your surfaces safe and lasting longer. You will receive a written report with photos outlining the condition of all areas, budget number and timing so you can properly plan for any needed projects.

Floor (VCT) Conversions

Upgrading from traditional vinyl composite tile (VCT) to polished concrete or resinous flooring transforms your retail space with enhanced durability, aesthetics and performance. These conversions not only improve the visual appeal of sales floors, checkout areas and aisles but also reduce maintenance costs and enhance slip resistance. Our conversion process is designed to minimize downtime and maximize impact. 

 

Our process:  

  1. Tile Removal: Remove VCT and grind off residual adhesive or mastic. 
  2. Floor Prep: Patch holes and imperfections along with filling anchor pops, trenches and damaged areas. 
  3. Joint Work: Saw-cut older filler for a clean finish, fill with polyurea or an epoxy and razor-cut for a level surface. 
  4. Grout Coat: Smooth over minor flaws to enhance the uniformity of the polished floor. 
  5. Multi-Step Polishing: Progressive grinding with refined grit levels, hand grinding where machinery can’t reach. Then a desifier is applied to strengthen and seal the surface. The final stages include a stain guard and burnish for optimal finish.
