Services
Ceilings
Our ceiling solutions combine functionality and aesthetics through acoustical tiles, metal panels, and custom designs. We install systems that optimize sound control, fire resistance, and visual appeal for commercial spaces. Our team follows USG and Armstrong specifications to deliver durable, code-compliant installations that enhance interior environments while meeting project-specific performance requirements.
Ceramic/Marble Installation
We specialize in commercial ceramic and marble installations using materials from American Olean and Dal-Tile. Our INSTALL-certified team ensures proper substrate preparation and waterproofing for high-traffic areas. We provide both standard and custom designs that balance durability with aesthetic appeal for healthcare, retail, and institutional applications.
Drywall
Our drywall services include fire-rated assemblies, moisture-resistant systems, and acoustic treatments. Using USG and National Gypsum products, we implement advanced techniques like CNC-milled corners to reduce material waste. We provide seamless finishes through multi-coat joint compound applications and skim coating for professional results in commercial environments.
Polished Concrete Flooring
We deliver industrial and commercial polished concrete flooring with moisture barrier protection and decorative staining options. Our process includes RH testing for slab readiness and planetary grinding for optimal surface preparation. These low-maintenance solutions offer 20+ year lifespans while meeting safety standards for slip resistance and durability in manufacturing and healthcare facilities.
Media Blasting
Our Graco EcoQuip 2 system provides dust-reduced media blasting for industrial surface preparation. We remove coatings, corrosion, and contaminants from steel and concrete structures while preserving substrate integrity. This method supports environmental compliance and prepares surfaces for protective coatings in manufacturing plants and marine facilities across Northwest Ohio.
