Frequently
Asked Questions
- In
what geographic areas will you perform work?
PSP has completed
projects up and down the East Coast from Chicopee, Massachusetts to
Chantilly, Virginia and as far west as Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Our
main areas of operation are Pennsylvania, Maryland, Northern Virginia,
Delaware and New Jersey. Our system is very mobile and we will aggressively
entertain any opportunity that require the removal of significant
quantities of floor covering.
- What
kind of materials can your system remove?
Carpet, vinyl
tile, linoleum, tar paper, heavy glue and wood.
- Can
you remove ceramic/quarry tile, marble and scrape epoxy?
Yes; however,
ceramic/quarry tile must be in a thin-set base.
- We
work in many occupied facilities, how noisy is your system?
Our power source
is located outside the building in an enclosed trailer. This results
in no engine noise in the work area!
- We
have had problems with "exhaust fumes" with other flooring
removal contractors. Does PSP experience this problem?
Our system is
powered by a four-cylinder turbo charged diesel engine which is located
outside the building in an enclosed trailer . This results in absolutely
no "exhaust fumes" in the work area.
- Our
current flooring removal contractor requires that we have a 220/3 phase
pigtail available upon mobilization and if there is no power available
at the facility we are required to rent a generator. What does PSP require
in the way of power?
Nothing! PSP provides
it's own power source. Many contractors fail to include this cost
in their comparison of square foot pricing.
- I
need to be able to quote projects on a daily basis, can you give me
some bogies
I can work with?
Obviously each
project has specific parameters such as material and adhesive type,
location and access to the work area, foot print of the work area,
quantity... etc., but for the most part VCT and carpet pricing range
from 15 to 20 cents per square foot for ground floor work. Other materials
need to be reviewed by a representative.
- Do
you have quote sheet that I can use to provide PSP with the project
specific information it needs to submit pricing?
Yes, you can download
the Quote Sheet (PDF) by clicking
here.
- PSP
states in it's brochure that production averages 8,000 to 10,000 square
feet per day. What gives your system superior production rates?
PSP utilizes a
hydraulic system which is powered by a four-cylinder turbo charged
diesel engine which is located outside the work area in an enclosed
trailer. The engine in much larger than those used by our competitors.
This remote power source gives PSP's working unit superior speed and
maneuverability. The production rates given in our brochure are for
VCT and carpet (since these item make up the bulk of our removal projects).
- How
much lead time do you need to schedule work?
PSP is capable
of "same day" mobilization; however, contracted work that
is scheduled will take precedence over "emergency" requests.
Typically, one weeks notice is sufficient; but the more advanced the
notice,
the easier the scheduling.
- Much
of the work I do is Time and Materials, can you provide me a daily rate?
Yes, PSP's
Minimum Daily
Rate is $2,500.00.
- Can
you remove rubber gym floors?
Yes, both poured and seamed materials.
- Can
you provide pricing for both tile removal and shot blasting services?
Yes.
