Word to the wise, decorative concrete staining and sealing is not as easy a DIY project as some websites may make it seem.
After pulling up the carpet and old school vinyl tiles, think grade school lunch room flooring, I discovered old adhesive that was much to troublesome and prevalent to remove with chemical stripper. All the flooring companies I called were looking for anything from $1-$1.25 per sq ft to grind this off of the concrete to provide the right surface needed to stain. Having experience in construction, a DIY attitude to take on labor intensive projects and a tight budget; I decided to tackle this problem by renting a commercial floor grinder. It looked easy enough on YouTube and I have a good respirator. So why not give it a shot. BIG MISTAKE...
After two full days of concrete grinding and pouring countless gallons of water on the floors to control the dust we were left with two rooms full of mud. Put it this way, there was enough mud that I could have held mud wrestling night at my house and all I would have had to find were the Ladies willing to wrestle. Not to mentio, the amount of dust that settled onto EVERYTHING.
AZ Home Flooring to the rescue!
Jack is equipped with smart devices and was able to get the needed paperwork to me shortly after talking about project details. I truly appreciated that Jack had me sign off on the Scope of Work, all through electronic signature software, and that he made it really easy for me to get the security deposit to him, PayPal. The final cost was right in line with what other companies were looking for.
Jack and his crew showed up right on schedule and began unloading what had to be 10s of thousands of dollars in equipment. Six hours later Jack called to say the entire job was ready for walk through. Upon inspection, I couldn't believe how good the concrete looked and how detailed they were able to get against baseboards and into corners. Plus I had a difficult time finding any traces of dust.
AZ Home Floors was the right company for this job and will be my first stop for any flooring quotes or advice! My lungs and sanity thank them.
