Demolition by Building Type in Arkansas

Most demolition outfits treat floor tear-out as filler between bigger work, and they price it that way. Superior does floors as the main event and hands over a slab the next trade can actually work on. Every building type gets its own page, its own flooring assemblies and its own working constraints. Office buildings mean glued carpet tile, broadloom and tack strip, and raised access panels, worked suite by suite with the rest of the floor still leased. Retail and shopping centres mean VCT and mastic across big open sales floors, with night work so the anchor tenant and the neighbours never close. Restaurants and bars mean quarry tile in a thick mud bed, grease-soaked kitchen slabs and epoxy coatings — the hardest floor in the building, every time. Medical and dental means sheet vinyl with heat-welded seams and coved base, sealed containment and after-hours schedules around patient care. Warehouse and industrial means coatings, sealers and old epoxy over big square footage, ground and scarified back to sound, workable concrete. Schools and churches mean classroom and fellowship-hall VCT on a hard calendar, where summer breaks and the days between services are the whole window. Apartments and multifamily means unit turns and full-property re-flooring — carpet, pad and tack strip out, glue-down plank ground off, stairwells protected. Convenience stores and grocery means sales-floor VCT and cooler-area tile, worked around live refrigeration and fuel canopies that cannot go dark. And when the floor is only part of the scope, a full interior strip-out takes walls, ceilings, casework and fixtures back to shell and slab.
