02 — The Part Nobody Says

A Clinic Floor Is Not a Warehouse Floor

Dust travels. Chairs are plumbed to the slab. The sterilization room can't be down. Most demo outfits price a clinic like an empty shell and figure the rest out on day two — which is when your schedule falls apart.

01

Dust in the operatory

Silica off a grinder gets into cabinetry, vents and equipment. Without sealed containment and negative air, you're cleaning for a week and re-sterilizing everything you own.

02

Two contractors, one pile

Tear-out crew leaves. Haul-off crew is booked out. The debris sits in your parking lot while patients walk past it.

03

The number moves

Bid low, open the floor, find three layers of glued vinyl over old thinset, then hand you a change order on a Friday afternoon.

04

The next trade can't work

Ridged adhesive and thinset left on the slab means your flooring installer stops, re-bids, and pushes your reopening date.

03 — Owned and Run by Ricky Ray

The Man Who Prices It Is the Man Who Runs It

Ricky walks your clinic before anyone quotes a number. He looks at what's under the vinyl, where the chairs are anchored, which doors have to stay sealed, and how the debris leaves without crossing a patient corridor. Then you get a written scope and a price.

That's why the number holds. He's not guessing from a photo.

  • Containment first. Plastic and zip walls seal the work zone before a blade touches the floor.
  • Occupied-building work. The other half of your building keeps seeing patients. Occupied buildings →
  • Tear-out and haul-off are one job. Debris leaves with us. Nobody stands over a pile waiting on a second contractor.
  • Slab handed over ready. Ground down, swept, and fit for the floor going in next.

04 — What We Tear Out

Medical and Dental Floor Scopes

Clinics, dental practices, urgent care, imaging suites, vet offices and med-spa buildouts across Arkansas. If it's glued, nailed, floated or set in mortar, it comes up.

Sheet Vinyl & VCT

Welded-seam sheet goods and VCT lifted, adhesive ground off the slab, and hauled away the same trip.

Floor demolition →

Tile & Thinset

Porcelain, ceramic and mortar bed off waiting rooms, corridors and restrooms. Thinset ground back flat.

See the process →

Carpet, Tack & Glue

Broadloom and carpet tile pulled and rolled, tack strip out, glue residue ground down instead of left ridged.

Tear-out details →

Interior Strip-Out

Walls, casework, drop ceiling and old operatory millwork removed alongside the floor when the buildout calls for it.

Interior demolition →

Concrete Grinding & Prep

Scarifier and grinder work so the slab hands over flat and the next trade starts on schedule.

Slab prep →

Haul-Off Included

Debris loaded and gone with us. One crew, one trip, one bill — not a second contractor to chase.

05 — Occupied Buildings

Half the Building Keeps Treating Patients

We don't ask you to empty the place. Containment goes up, the work zone gets sealed off, and the suites on the other side of the wall keep their schedule. Nights and weekends when the clinic hours can't move.

06 — How the Job Runs

Two Halves. Both Ours.

Every clinic job splits the same way: protect the building, then remove the floor. Nobody hands off in the middle, because there's no second contractor involved.

Protect the Building

Before a blade touches anything
01

Walkthrough

Ricky walks the space with you. What's under the floor, where the chairs anchor, which doors stay sealed, how debris exits.

02

Written Scope

Fixed scope and price in writing. Working hours agreed. If the clinic can only be down at night, that's what gets scheduled.

03

Containment Up

Zip walls and plastic seal the work zone. Corridors, sterilization and the suites still in use stay on the clean side.

Remove the Floor

Then get out of your way
04

Tear-Out

Tile, vinyl, carpet, tack strip and mortar bed come up. Debris stays inside the containment until it's loaded.

05

Grind and Sweep

Adhesive and thinset ground off. Slab swept down so the flooring installer can start, not re-bid.

06

Haul-Off and Handover

Loaded and gone the same trip. Containment comes down last. You walk it with Ricky before he leaves.

07 — Say It Out Loud

The Questions You'd Ask on Day Two

Better answered now than after the plastic goes up.

Will the dust get through the whole clinic?

Not if it's contained properly. Sealed plastic at every opening into the work zone, and the debris stays behind it until it's loaded out. Grinding makes dust — that's the honest part — so it happens inside a sealed box, not in your corridor.

Will you damage the subfloor or the door frames?

The slab is what we're protecting, not just what we're clearing. Frames, casework staying put and adjacent finishes get protected before the tear-out starts. If something has to come out to get the floor out, you hear it at the walkthrough.

Will the price move once you open the floor?

The scope and price are fixed in writing after Ricky has walked it. He looks at what's actually under there before quoting — that's the whole reason for the on-site visit instead of a number over the phone.

What if the floor might contain asbestos?

Older clinic vinyl and mastic can. We don't test it and we don't remove it. Testing is arranged by the building owner through a licensed abatement firm, and abatement happens before our crew starts. Ricky will tell you at the walkthrough if he thinks it needs testing.

Do I have to pay money up front?

Terms are set in the written scope before work is scheduled, and you'll know them before you agree to anything. Nothing is collected on a handshake and a promise to figure it out later.

Something's wrong after the job — then what?

You call (501) 259-7997 and you get Ricky, the same person who quoted and ran it. That's the advantage of a single owner on the job instead of a crew you never met.

09 — Straight About Cost

We Don't Quote a Clinic Floor Over the Phone

Anyone who gives you a square-foot number sight-unseen is guessing, and the guess gets corrected later at your expense. What's under a dental office floor decides the price, and you can't see it from a parking lot.

So the visit is free, the quote is written, and the number holds. That's the trade.

11 — Straight Answers

Medical & Dental Floor Demo FAQ

Short questions from clinic owners, practice managers and the general contractors running their buildouts.

Can you work at night so the practice stays open?

Yes — nights and weekends are normal on clinic work.

Hours get set in the written scope before anything is scheduled. If the operatories can only be down after close, the tear-out happens after close.

Do you handle asbestos in old clinic vinyl?

No. Testing and abatement go to a licensed abatement firm.

Older sheet vinyl and mastic can contain it. The building owner arranges the test, abatement finishes first, then we tear out. Ricky will flag it at the walkthrough if he thinks it's a risk.

Do you haul the debris away too?

Yes — tear-out and haul-off are one job, one bill.

Nobody is left standing over a pile waiting on a second contractor. The debris leaves with our crew on the same trip the floor comes up.

How flat will the slab be for the new flooring?

Ground down and swept, ready for the next trade.

Adhesive and thinset get ground off rather than left ridged. That's the difference between your flooring installer starting on schedule and re-bidding the prep.

Who actually shows up to the walkthrough?

Ricky Ray, the owner.

He walks the job before anyone quotes a number, and he runs the crew that does the work. Same phone number for the quote and for anything afterward.

Do you take other building types?

Yes — clinics are one of several we work in.

Also office buildings, retail, restaurants and multifamily. See all building types.
