One of our team’s latest projects was a flooring replacement at The Watermark at 3030 Park‘s Memory Care Unit! We worked closely with their staff to ensure minimal disruption to the residents and staff, resulting in a refreshed space that we’re thrilled to have been a part of. A big thank you to Shaw Contract for their beautiful carpet and LVT, and to Robert McGill for sharing!

We installed these floors at the Biosphere Climber in the Energy Lab exhibit at the Stepping Stones Museum for Children in Norwalk, CT! We utilized 200 square feet each of Capri Collections AND/OR rubber cork in 2.0 Lapis, Malachite & Onyx 3.2 mm rolls. This job shows how versatile AND/OR 2.0 is!
PS: There’s a nice installation of Polyflor’s Polysafe Hydro in a different area of this museum that we did around 2015, where James was brought into the project and has been working with the museum ever since!

We are often tasked to refresh and rejuvenate the flooring and carpets of many big box-style stores across the country. We work with certain companies to resuscitate their stores making them look and feel as good as new.
Each night after the store closes, our team goes in to begin our work to ensure we are finished and out before the store opens again the next morning. We don’t work on the entire store, but are given a section, a pad, as the client calls it, at a time, which is about 3,000 square feet. Customers who come into the stores, day after day, will hardly notice that we have been there, only that some sections of the store look and feel newer and more refreshed than others. We continue this complex and extensive work night after night until the whole store has been rejuvenated.
Thanks to Jillian Penkin for leading this project! Our first task when we start a project is to use a machine that we call The Terminator, which we use to remove carpet and adhesive off the floor until nearly all of it is removed. There may be areas covered in LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) that the Terminator can remove as well.
After the carpet and/or LVP is removed, our team goes in to physically remove any bits of debris from the extraction until the flooring base is clean enough for grinding. The debris from the carpet and LVP are disposed of in a dumpster.
Next, the subflooring is skim coated with a smooth, sand-free, hydraulic cement-based material used under the flooring. With the help of powerful fans, the floor dries in about 3 hours, depending on the humidity in the store. Adhesive is then applied by hand to the floor with a trowel. Different adhesives are used for the LVP and carpet.
Broadloom is precut for the space and installed by our team. LVP is also applied in specific areas. A leveling system, or shims are used to level the edges of the carpet where it meets the tile to ensure that the meeting between carpet and tile is smooth and that neither is higher than the other. Additionally, damaged or cracked tiles are replaced on walkways and bathrooms are refreshed with a tile-and-grout deep clean and deodorizing.
A team of five to six people work nightly, hour after hour, to complete a big box store refresh within a tight four week schedule, start to finish working right behind the paint team giving the entire store a refreshed look. The entire process is documented every step of the way.

The yellow tile in the cafe is Ceramic Technics design crackle in caramel, the front of the bar is Trinity Veneziana in ivory. The metallic triangles are ceramic technics centro triangles in bronze.
We utilized Bentley dog eared carpet tile in the open dining area, as well as Mohawk Large and Local in a herringbone pattern in the corridor.
For the bar back wall, we used Ceramic Technics centro triangles in Bronze!
The unit with a bed is the Memory Care Model, floored with Mohawk Large and Local LVT.
For the bathroom with a flower on the wall, we used Daltile Fabric Art, Modern Linear on the walls and Trinity Cheyenne on the floor.
The corner unit has Mohawk large and Local LVT on the floor and Daltile Amity linear glass backsplash, with the corridor LVT all being Mohawk Large and Local in different colors!
We’re extremely proud of our executive senior sales team member Robin Burgess for spearheading this fantastic project!

We recently installed Mohawk Visual Edge Carpet Plank, Color 937 Wet Cement at a PNC Bank Branch. This flooring material is made with biophilic principles and features layered elements and scale changes to produce a way-finding effect throughout the installed space. See how much more vibrant their floors look with fresh carpets!

The American National Insurance Company in Glenmont, NY, faced an issue with the high-traffic stairs in the lobby, as employees frequently chose to use them instead of the elevators. Over time, the carpet on these stairs had become worn out and needed a replacement. To address this problem, the company decided to install Shaw‘s Gradient Broadloom in the color Carbon on the stairs. This choice not only provided a hard-wearing solution to withstand the heavy foot traffic but also added a stylish and attractive look to the open staircase, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the lobby.
