This patio needed a reset. 👀

From the existing surface to a fresh start, proper prep is what sets a refinishing project up for success.

Josh Jones takes us through the patio refinishing process, showing what goes into getting the surface properly prepped and ready for what comes next.

We condensed the process into a quick look here, but there's a lot more that goes into getting the surface ready for what comes next.

Taking a few minutes to evaluate the project before getting started can help you choose the right equipment and tooling, avoid unnecessary passes, and keep the job moving.

What's slowing down your crew?

Sometimes lost productivity isn't about how hard the crew is working. It's about whether they have the right setup for the job.

⚙️ Wrong equipment: A machine that isn't suited for the application can make surface prep harder and less efficient.

🛠️ Worn tooling: When tooling is past its prime, production and performance can suffer.

💨 Poor dust control: An inefficient dust collection setup can mean more cleanup and unnecessary interruptions.

The right combination of equipment, tooling, and dust collection can help keep your crew—and your project—moving.

Warehouse floors don't get much downtime.

Forklift traffic, heavy equipment, coatings, contaminants, and day-to-day operations can all take a toll—and when it's time to restore or prepare that surface, the right equipment matters.

From grinders designed for concrete grinding, smoothing, and coating removal to shot blasters built for efficient cleaning and surface profiling, the best solution depends on the facility, existing surface, and desired result.

And on large commercial and industrial projects, efficiency matters. The right setup can help crews cover more ground and keep the job moving.
