GETTING STARTED IN FLOOR REMOVAL & PREPARATION

Outline Products manufactures floor preparation and floor covering removal scrapers, scarifiers, concrete milling and replacement scraper blades. Established in 1996 Outline Products has perfected the interior floor demolition industry and developed the floor removal attachment market.

Contractors use Outline equipment nationwide as they can ship attachments across the country and rent the skid steer power plant locally. Many owner/ operators are one man jobs with the local customer providing clean up. Outline Products attachments are compatible with most skid steer units, with the Toro Dingo being the most user friendly for entry level operators. Toro Dingo has over 10,000 rental units available across the United States, including units in Alaska and Hawaii. Also rentals unit are available in Canada.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. How do I find floor removal jobs?
Major carpet and tile supply warehouses are aware of many large flooring reinstallation jobs. Typically they need mechanical removal. especially if the existing floor covering is well bonded. By contacting the supply house general manager and informing them you have removal equipment, you can be introduced to major installers of floor coverings and their job projects.

2. How much can I earn removing floor covering?
Outline Products floor scrapers can remove an average of 2,000 sq ft of vinyl tile per hour. Typical removal rates are $.20 - $.30 per square foot without clean up. Owner/ operators can average billing $400 - $600 per hour. Increasing the square foot price for well bonded floor covering, i.e., ceramic tile wood floors will keep hourly rates consistent.

3. How about floor removal as a second job?
Yes, since you can rent the skid steer locally your capital investment is small enough for parttime start up jobs to produce a customer base.

4. How do I get started in floor removal?
