At Custom Epoxy Surfacing , we understand that every project is unique and requires a thorough assessment to ensure the best results. Here's a detailed look at our process for bidding jobs, ensuring that you receive an accurate and fair estimate for your flooring needs.
On-Site Substrate Assessment
Before we provide any pricing, we need to see the substrate in person. This allows us to evaluate various factors: -
- *Damage Assessment*: We check for spalling (surface chipping or flaking), cracking, and other types of damage. -
- *Moisture Levels*: Concrete slabs typically allow moisture to evaporate at around 7-10 psi. For reference, DIY epoxy kits have a threshold of 4-7 psi. If moisture levels are not adequately managed, it can lead to floor cracking, delamination, and complete failure. Our commercial and industrial-grade products begin at approximately 4500 psi and can handle up to 60,000 psi for severe issues.
- *Drainage*: Proper drainage is essential to prevent water accumulation and damage.
- *Hardness Levels*: The hardness of the substrate affects the type of preparation and products needed.
Threshold Seal
An accessory piece of rubber that secures to the ground where the garage door closes. This seal ensures that rubber presses against rubber, effectively blocking dirt, grass, and leaves from blowing under the door.
Stem Wall
The stem wall is the vertical piece of concrete just below the drywall and above the floor. While all garages have stem walls, not all are exposed. If your stem wall is exposed, we measure its linear feet and add this as a separate item on the bid sheet.
