Lafayette sits in the Lamorinda valley between the Berkeley and Oakland hills and the Diablo Valley, with a downtown along Mount Diablo Boulevard, a BART station, and commercial space that mostly serves a relatively affluent residential base.
That means restaurants, retail, professional offices, medical and dental practices, and small service businesses rather than heavy industry. Buildings range from midcentury storefronts to newer mixed use construction, and the two require different preparation.
Downtown space cannot easily close. A restaurant or a practice loses revenue for every day the floor is out of service, so work is scheduled in windows the business can actually spare, often overnight or in sections, with each area returned finished before the next is opened.
Hillside and valley floor construction both appear here. Hillside buildings can have framed floors over crawlspace with some deflection and damp, while valley floor buildings are typically slab on grade. We review which one we are dealing with before specifying a system.
Scope covers commercial carpet tile, luxury vinyl plank and tile, sheet vinyl, rubber, polished concrete, and resinous coatings, with full surface preparation in house.
If you manage a property in Lafayette with flooring coming up, we would be glad to walk the space and put together a free estimate.
