When we work on an existing building, there are several considerations that we need to consider when we need to change out the flooring material. What is the existing concrete type? What is the existing flooring materials? What are we replacing the flooring material with? What is our schedule and how much time have we allotted for floor preparation / abatement? There are a lot of questions that we must consider, and the sooner that we review all these items, the better prepared we will be to accurately prepare the flooring surface for a good quality flooring installation.
