What Somerville usually asks for
That is what Somerville tends to ask for. The full range is on the table regardless. 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 historic homes around the courthouse square and rural properties, concrete resurfacing suits a lot of what we see in Somerville.
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.
It gives you a clean canvas for stain or a coating. Far less cost and disruption than tear out and replacement.

Non Slip Treatments
Non slip treatments fits Somerville well, both for the housing and because of one of the oldest courthouses in the state.
It can go into most of the finishes we install, so a pool deck or a kitchen does not have to choose between looking right and being safe underfoot.
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.
Grit grade is chosen for the room rather than applied by default. It goes over existing coated and polished floors as well as new work.

Concrete Refinishing
Concrete refinishing comes up in Somerville because the stock here is historic homes around the courthouse square and rural properties.
The owner started out stripping and waxing floors, which is exactly the work of taking a surface back to a state you can build on. That is the same instinct this service runs on.
Once the slab is open we can see what it actually needs. Sometimes that is polish. Sometimes it is a coating. The floor tells you, and we would rather say so than sell the wrong system.
Most floors people assume are finished can be brought back. Removing a failed coating properly is what keeps the next one from lifting.

Somerville and the floors in it
Geographically Somerville is southeast of Decatur, the old Morgan County seat, which puts it comfortably inside our area.
Because Somerville is historic homes around the courthouse square and rural properties, the conversation usually starts with what is already on the concrete.
What gets built here follows one of the oldest courthouses in the state, and that decides what needs finishing.
Somerville sits close enough to Decatur, Hartselle, Priceville that we frequently run them together.
Situated southeast of Decatur, the old Morgan County seat, Somerville draws its character from one of the oldest courthouses in the state.
Residential work skews toward garages and porches. Commercial work skews toward anything that has to be washed down.

The slab underneath
Older slabs in Somerville often carry a sealer or an old coating that has to come off before anything new will bond. That is normal and it is part of the job, not a surprise charge.
Prep is the part people do not see and the part that decides whether the floor lasts.
We grind before anything else, which opens the concrete so the resin has something to hold.
Interior work in Somerville 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 Somerville 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 Somerville 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 Somerville 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 Morgan County.
Which floors suit Somerville properties?
Around here it is usually concrete resurfacing, non slip treatments and concrete refinishing, because the local stock is historic homes around the courthouse square and rural properties.
Can you handle a business floor in Somerville?
We can. one of the oldest courthouses in the state means Somerville has working buildings, and those floors get specified around how they are cleaned and what runs across them.
When can you start in Somerville?
Depends where the schedule is, and we will tell you honestly. Being near Decatur, Hartselle means we pass through this part of Morgan County often.
How do you price a Somerville floor?
By looking at it. Size matters, but so does the condition of the slab and whether anything has to come off first. A number without a visit is a guess.
Can I see one of your floors in person?
Often yes, particularly commercial floors in buildings the public can walk into. Ask when you call.
