What Ardmore usually asks for
Those are the ones that come up most in Ardmore. Everything else we install is available here too. Every system we install is available here, and the right one is chosen from the slab in front of us rather than from a list.
Polished Concrete
Polished concrete comes up in Ardmore because the stock here is small-town homes and rural properties with shop buildings.
A densifier goes down partway through the grit sequence. It reacts with the free lime in the slab and hardens the surface from within, which is what keeps a polished floor from dusting the way bare concrete does.
How the floor ends up looking depends on how deep we go. A light grind leaves the surface close to how it was poured. Going deeper opens the slab and exposes the sand, then the stone, so you get a terrazzo look out of concrete that was already there.
It reflects light, so a dim warehouse or basement gets noticeably brighter without new fixtures. Sweeping and an occasional damp mop is the entire maintenance routine.

Epoxy Flooring
In Ardmore, epoxy flooring is a frequent answer, largely down to small-town homes and rural properties with shop buildings.
We grind first. Every time. Diamond grinding opens the pores of the concrete so the resin has something to key into, and it takes off whatever sealer, glue, or old coating is in the way.
Cracks and pits get filled with a repair product compatible with what goes over it, because a patch that flexes differently than the coating telegraphs through the finish within a season.
Seamless means there is no grout line or seam for dirt to collect in. Color and flake are chosen up front, so the floor matches the room instead of fighting it.

Concrete Staining
In Ardmore, concrete staining is a frequent answer, largely down to small-town homes and rural properties with shop buildings.
Every slab takes stain differently. Its age, how it was finished, and what has soaked into it all show up in the result, which is why a sample area on the actual floor beats a color chart.
Stain penetrates. That is the whole difference from paint, which sits on the surface and eventually peels off in sheets.
It works on slabs that are decades old. The color is in the concrete, so it cannot peel or flake.

Ardmore and the floors in it
Ardmore sits straddling the Tennessee state line north of Athens, about as far from us as most of the towns we cover.
Because Ardmore is small-town homes and rural properties with shop buildings, the conversation usually starts with what is already on the concrete.
Locally the driver is a state-line town on the I-65 corridor. Floors in those buildings get treated accordingly.
Ardmore sits close enough to Athens, Elkmont, Mooresville that we frequently run them together.
You find small-town homes and rural properties with shop buildings through Ardmore, shaped by a state-line town on the I-65 corridor.
Basements come up often, and metallic epoxy or polish both work well once moisture is checked.

The slab underneath
Anything poured in the last twenty years around Ardmore is usually straightforward to prepare. Older concrete takes longer to open up, and we price that honestly once we have ground a test patch.
We grind before anything else, which opens the concrete so the resin has something to hold.
The grinder comes out first on every job. That is not a preference, it is what makes a coating stay down.
Interior work in Ardmore runs year round because the building is conditioned. Exterior slabs, porches, patios and pool decks get scheduled against the forecast, since resin cures chemically and a cold or soaking slab changes how that goes.
Sometimes the honest answer is that a slab is not worth coating. If a crack is still moving, if sections have dropped, or if there is water coming up through the concrete with nowhere to go, a coating will fail and take your money with it. We would rather tell you that in Ardmore than sell you a floor twice.
We quote the floor first, in person. Once you accept, the install gets booked as a block rather than squeezed between other jobs, because a resin floor cannot be half finished and left overnight. For a Ardmore job that usually means we hold consecutive days and give you the dates up front.
Whatever the room is, the sequence does not change: open the concrete, fix what needs fixing, then put down the system the slab will actually hold.
How far is Ardmore from you?
Close enough that it is ordinary work. We are based in Huntsville and cover about 100 miles out, which takes in all of Limestone County.
What do you install most around Ardmore?
Mostly polished concrete, epoxy flooring and concrete staining. That follows the building stock here more than anything else, and your floor may point somewhere different once we have looked at it.
Is commercial flooring available in Ardmore?
It is. Given a state-line town on the I-65 corridor, we see everything from back of house wet areas to open retail and warehouse floors around Ardmore.
Do you have to make a special trip to Ardmore?
Rarely. Athens, Elkmont are close by and we are through here regularly, so scheduling is not usually the hard part.
Is there a charge to come look at a Ardmore floor?
No, not inside our service area, and Ardmore is inside it. The visit is how we find out what the floor actually needs.
Do you have references near Ardmore?
Yes, and we try to match them to your job. Ask for the kind of floor you are considering and we will point you at one.
