THERE ARE MANY CONSIDERATIONS ON PRICING, HERE ARE JUST A FEW:  LOCATION OF JOB, ACCESSIBILITY, SIZE OF AREA, PREPARATION, REPAIRS NEEDED PRIOR TO APPLICATION? LOGO'S, BORDERS ANY DESIGN WORK? DOES MATERIAL HAVE TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED? 
THESE JOBS ARE ANY WHERE FROM APX. 500 SQUARE FEET ON UP. SMALL JOBS; COUNTER TOPS, BATHROOM FLOORS, KITCHEN FLOORS ETC ARE PRICED ON A INDIVIUAL BASIS. IN ANY CASE ESTIMATES ARE FREE IN THE METRO AREA. 
 
 
HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?
 AFTER LOOKING AT THE CONDITION OF THE CONCRETE AND RESURFACING IS FAVORABLE. THE LIFE SPANS RUNS APX. 10 YEARS PLUS. MOST JOBS REQUIRE SOME SORT OF MAINTENANCE, WHETHER IT IS RESEALING RIVERSTONE EVERY 2 - 3 YEARS OR RESTAINING OLD KOOL DECK JOBS, SOMETHING USUALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE.  WE GIVE NEW LIFE TO KOOL DECKING SYSTEMS, JOBS THAT WERE INSTALLED 15 TO 20 YEARS AGO, WITHOUT THE EXSPENSE OF RELACEMENT, AND WHEN FINISHED LOOK LIKE NEW.
 
HOW LONG DOES A JOB TAKE?
  TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL JOB TAKES APX.  2 - 4 DAYS, WEATHER PERMITTING. THESE  JOBS ARE TYPICALLY FROM 500 TO 2500 SQUARE  
FEET.
 
WHAT SORT OF MAINTENANCE IS INVOLVED?
  EVERY THING SHOULD BE CLEANED FROM TIME TO TIME. WHETHER IT IS PRESSURE WASHING OR MILD DETERGENTS AND BRUSHING, THESE DECKS WILL GET DIRTY WITH TIME.  IF YOU HAVE A EPOXY STONE SURFACE, EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT, IT NEEDS TO BE THROUGHLY CLEANED AND RECOATED WITH EPOXY EVERY 2 - 3 YEARS,  IF THE APPLICATION IS NOT EXSPOSED TO THE SUN AND CHANGE OF SEASONS, THESE SURFACES REQUIRE MUCH LESS CARE.
 
HOW LONG UNTILL I CAN USE IT?
  USUALLY AFTER WE ARE DONE, THE SURFACES WE INSTALL CAN BE WALKED ON IN 24-48 HOURS. NOTE: SOME GARAGE FLOOR APPLICATIONS REQUIRE LONGER.  
 
ARE THERE DIFFERANT COLORS AVAILABLE?
 YES, THE KOOL DECK TEXTURE APPLICATIONS CAN BE TINTED TO ANY COLOR. 
THE RIVERSTONE SURFACES HAVE DIFFERANT SHADES OF STONES; LIGHT AND DARK BROWN, PEARL WHITE, GRAYS, MULTICOLORED STONES. 
TWO PART EPOXY QUARTZ COATINGS, USED IN GARAGE FLOORS, KITCHEN AREAS, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AREAS ETC.,  AVAILABLE IN  IN RED, YELLOW, BLACK, BLUE, GRAY, GREEN, BROWN, WHITE, THESE COLORS CAN BE BLENDED AND CREATE ALL KINDS OF CUSTOM COLORS. TWO
PART EPOXY COATING COMES IN COLORS ALSO.
THE FLAGSTONE / SLATE / TILE ETC. ARE HAND PAINTED, USING VARIOUS COLORS OF STAIN, THEREFORE OFFERING A ENDLESS COMBINATIONS OF COLORS TO MEET YOUR DECOR. A CLEAR SEALER IS THEN APPLIED AS A FINAL STEP.
 
WHAT KIND OF SURFACES CAN WE GO OVER?
 MOST OF OUR WORK IS DONE OVER CONCRETE. WE ALSO INSTALL NEW SURFACES OVER WOOD, INDOORS ONLY, SLATE, ASPHALT, TILE ETC. ALL SUBSURFACES MUST BE STRUCTUALLY SOUND BEFORE ANY RESURFACING CAN BE DONE.  
 
DO THESE FLOORING SYSTEMS COME WITH WARRANTIES?
 YES. PLEASE REMEMBER ONE THING, A WARRANTY IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE PEOPLE OFFERING IT. EVERY PRODUCT COMES WITH A ONE YEAR LABOR AND MATERIAL WARRANTY AND OUR "KOOL DECK" HAS A FIVE YEAR WARRANTY ON  MATERIAL.
 
HOW LONG BEFORE YOU CAN DO MY JOB?
  SPRING AND SUMMER ARE OUR BUSIEST TIMES AND WE USUALLY HAVE TWO TO THREE WEEK WAITING PERIOD, WEATHER PERMITTING. WE USUALLY ACCEPT JOBS ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS. ONCE WORK BEGINS, WE STAY ON YOUR JOB UNTILL WE ARE FINISHED.  
 
DO I NEED A DOWN PAYMENT?
  MOST RESDENTIAL JOBS USUALLY REQUIRE NOTHING AND ARE PAID WHEN WE ARE FINISH.
 SPECIAL ORDER MATERAILS ARE PAYABLE UPON C.O.D.  
SOME COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS AND LARGE JOBS ARE SUBJECT TO A DOWN PAYMENT WITH THE BALANCE DUE IN FULL UPON COMPLETION.
