Frequently Asked Questions

If it stays outside for good, on a roof, terrace or pool deck, see rooftop pedestal pavers. For a wedding, party or stage, see event floors. For cables and cooling indoors, see raised access floors.

Yes. That is what the pedestals are for. Each one adjusts to its own height, so the top stays level while the base below slopes or dips.

Yes. We visit, measure and check the base, then send a written quote at no cost. Photos and rough sizes help us come prepared.

They are outdoor pavers set on adjustable supports instead of mortar or sand. The supports keep the deck level while rain drains through the joints to the roof or slab below.

Wind is the main design question on a South Florida roof. We choose paver weight and edge restraints for your site. We confirm engineering needs with your building and city before we quote.

They rest on the surface on protection pads, without fasteners into the roof. We check the roof's condition before we quote.

Usually, after we check its condition and slope. If the waterproofing needs work, it is easier to fix before the deck goes down. We have also set pavers on pedestals right over an old tiled balcony.

It depends on the pedestal system and the roof. Pedestals can keep a deck low on a nearly flat roof, or raise it to meet a door threshold. We measure and confirm the height on the site visit.

Often on high-rises. Rules differ by city and by building. We check what your job needs with the building and the city before we quote.

Yes. Drains stay under the deck, and the pavers above them lift out. Where a floor drain sits in the deck, we can cut a paver so it stays reachable.

As early as you can. Popular dates go first, so reach out as soon as you have one.

We check its size, shape and depth on a site visit, then tell you what will work. Steps, ledges and curves are part of that check.

Often, yes. Soft sand needs a wider footing under each support so the floor stays level. We check the spot and truck access first.

It depends on the floor system and your event. Tell us the look you want, and we will show you the finishes that fit your date.

Yes, with ramps where needed. Tell us about guests who need step-free access, and we will plan the ramps into the layout.

Often, yes. Send a photo of a panel, its size and any label on the back. We check what is still made and what fits your pedestals.

Yes. We can schedule nights or weekends, so your office and servers keep running during the day.

Yes. We measure the floor height and the space at the door. Then we add a ramp or steps, with trim along the edges.

It depends on what goes underneath. Cables alone need a lower floor than cables plus cooling air. We size it on the site visit, with your doors and ceiling height in mind.

No, we do not rent dance floors. We install permanent floors only. For a wedding or party, we build raised floors under tents and over pools. See event floors.

It is a dance floor built on a sprung subfloor, a layered base under the surface. It gives a little under each landing, then springs back. That takes stress off dancers' joints. The marley or hardwood you see sits on top.

It depends on the room, the subfloor, the surface and the condition of the base. For a price, send the room size, the styles you dance and a few photos through the quote form. We visit, measure and send a written quote at no cost.

Yes, and it is the usual case. We check the slab for level and moisture, then build the sprung subfloor on top. The subfloor gives a concrete room the spring it lacks.

It depends on the room. Taped seams let you lift and replace the marley later. Glued or welded floors suit rooms where the floor stays put for a long time. We recommend one after we see the room and hear how you use it.

It depends on the room size, the subfloor system and the condition of the base. Your written quote lists the work days, so you can plan classes or your opening around them.

Yes. For tap, we suggest a wood surface over the sprung subfloor. It gives a crisp, clear sound under the taps. Tell us what else you dance, and we will plan the floor around it.

Often, yes. A garage slab makes a good base once it is level and dry. The big question is heat, so plan air conditioning before the floor goes in.

Not always. A sprung subfloor can often go over flat, solid tile or concrete. Carpet usually comes up first. We check at the free visit.

Marley suits ballet, contemporary, jazz and hip-hop. Wood suits tap, ballroom and Latin. Tell us what you dance, and we will suggest one at the visit.

SPC is a rigid vinyl plank with a stone-plastic core. It feels firmer and is more forgiving of small dips in the slab. Classic LVP is a flexible plank. It feels a little softer, but it needs a flatter base. We check your slab at the free visit and help you choose.

Your association sets the rule, usually as a minimum impact sound rating called IIC. Ask your building manager for that number in writing. Some buildings also ask for the product's sound test report before work starts. We help you get the spec sheets they ask for.

Most luxury vinyl plank and rigid core floors are waterproof on top. Spills and wet feet will not hurt them. Water from a leak or a damp slab can still sit underneath, so the slab gets checked first.

Often, yes, if the tile is flat, solid and well bonded. Deep grout lines may need a skim coat so they do not show through. Loose or cracked tile comes up. We check at the free visit.

Tell us what is in the rooms when you ask for a quote. Your written quote says who moves furniture and appliances, so nothing is a surprise on install day. Please clear small items and valuables first.

It depends on the size, the old floor, the prep and the building's work hours. Your written quote includes the schedule. We plan it around elevator bookings and quiet hours.

Both work well indoors. Solid wood treads, like oak, can be sanded and refinished later. Vinyl treads resist water and scuffs, and they can match a new vinyl floor. A simple rule: match the floor at the bottom of the stairs.

Yes. We remove the carpet, pad and tack strips and prepare each step. Then we fit vinyl treads, risers and nosing. Damaged steps get repaired first.

Usually. Many vinyl and wood floor lines sell matching stair nosing. Where one does not, we talk through the closest options before anything is ordered.

Yes. The photos on this page include curved and spiral stairs we have finished. Each curved tread is measured and fitted to its own step.

Yes. We install handrails and balusters, including iron balusters, to finish the stair. Tell us what you have now and what you want.

It depends on the number of steps, the shape of the stair and what has to come off first. Your written quote lists the work days. We also tell you when the stairs will be out of use.

Often, yes. We have set porcelain pavers on pedestals right over an old tiled balcony. We check the tile, the slope, the drains and the door threshold first.

In most South Florida buildings, yes. Boards usually review the products, the layout, the schedule and the contractor's documents. We put that package together for you.

Yes. Many owners start with their own balcony. When neighbors in the same building book together, we plan one schedule and one elevator plan. Each unit saves.

Check your warranty terms first. We share the product data sheets your roofer, engineer or manager needs to review before work starts.

Yes. On high-rises, engineering and permit needs often apply. We check them with your building and the city before we quote.

Yes. We visit, measure and send a written quote at no cost and with no obligation.

Yes. Choose Book a service on the quote form and pick a preferred date. We still confirm measurements on site before work starts, so the price and the date are right.

A few phone photos, rough sizes and your timing. For rooftops, a photo of the drains and the roof edge helps. For studios, the room sizes and your opening date.

Permit and engineering needs depend on the job, the building and the city. We check them before we quote, so there are no surprises later.

Often, yes. Many South Florida condo boards ask for product specs and set work hours before a job starts. We help you put that package together.
