Moundville and the floors in it
Moundville is south of Tuscaloosa on the Black Warrior River, inside the 100 miles we work out of Huntsville.
In Moundville we are mostly working on older small-town homes and rural properties, which narrows the sensible options quickly.
What gets built here follows Moundville Archaeological Park and river farmland, and that decides what needs finishing.
Work in Moundville usually lands alongside jobs in Tuscaloosa, Northport, Brookwood.
The thing that shapes Moundville is Moundville Archaeological Park and river farmland, and that shows up in the floors.
Retail and open commercial floors are usually better served by polishing than by a coating.
What Moundville usually asks for
Those get asked for most often around Moundville, though the right answer is always the room in front of us. 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.
Concrete Resurfacing
Given older small-town homes and rural properties, concrete resurfacing suits a lot of what we see in Moundville.
An overlay is a thin layer of polymer modified cement bonded over the slab you already have. Structurally the old concrete keeps doing its job. The overlay gives you a fresh surface to finish.
It is not a fix for a slab that has failed. If sections have dropped or a crack keeps moving with the seasons, that is a subgrade problem and an overlay will mirror it. We say so when we see it.
Surface spalling, scaling, and pitting go away. It gives you a clean canvas for stain or a coating.

Metallic Epoxy
Metallic epoxy comes up in Moundville because the stock here is older small-town homes and rural properties.
It reads best where light can travel across it. A room with windows down one wall will show movement a windowless room will not.
The pigment suspends in clear resin and then gets worked while the floor is still open. How it is moved decides everything: where the light pools, where the color goes dark, how the pattern runs across the room.
Every floor is unique. That is inherent to how it is installed, not a marketing line. It carries the depth of a poured stone surface at a fraction of the weight and cost.

Non Slip Treatments
With Moundville Archaeological Park and river farmland driving the town, non slip treatments earns its place in Moundville.
Grip comes from aggregate suspended in the top coat. Aluminum oxide or graded quartz, sized to the job, so the texture is built into the finish instead of taped on top of it.
There is a trade off and it is worth naming. More grit means more traction and a floor that takes more effort to mop. We pick the grade against how the room actually gets cleaned.
It goes over existing coated and polished floors as well as new work. Traction where floors get wet, greasy, or see a lot of feet.

The slab underneath
What is already on a Moundville floor matters as much as the concrete underneath. Paint, glue, sealer and old coatings all come off mechanically first.
Prep is the part people do not see and the part that decides whether the floor lasts.

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 Moundville 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 Moundville job that usually means we hold consecutive days and give you the dates up front.
Clear the room before we arrive. For a garage that means everything off the floor, including shelving feet and anything mounted low on the wall that we need to cut in behind. We can work around a few heavy items, but the more of the slab that is open, the better the edges come out.
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.
