Our origins story

The year was 1990 when our founder, Eric Lauridsen, looked out his window and noticed something strange: in the Lower Mainland, it seems to rain like every 7 minutes. That made concrete surfaces extra slippery—people were in danger! So Eric picked up his bag, shouldered his responsibility and started a floor safety company named Slip-Tech that specialized in installing non-slip floors.

Then came the early 2000’s with their tight airport security and tighter jeans. And through our walls smashed Shane Rondquist, one of the top specialists in concrete polishing. Along with concrete polishing, we added parkade restoration and industrial floor coatings to our services, made Shane a partner and became…

Applied Coatings & Restoration Inc.

Let our work speak for itself

Today, we specialize in:
• Parkade resurfacing for commercial, residential and retail parking structures
• Concrete polishing and grinding
• Epoxy floor coatings
• Polyurethane floor coatings
• Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) floor coatings
• Polyaspartic floor coatings

Wherever concrete is cracked, spalled, delaminated or just too rough to the touch, we’re there. In the last two decades, we’ve polished hundreds of thousands of square feet of concrete and installed millions of square feet of traffic deck membrane throughout Western Canada.

Certified experts

Led by Eric and Shane, our team of misfits are the best on the job. We’re experts in the industry and our years of experience on the job are useful for working fast and coming up with solutions to uncommon problems. Every member on our team is certified and factory trained for the materials we work with.

Awards

Don’t just take our word for it. Here are some awards we’ve won for the work we’ve done.

• BASF Parkade of the Year in North America (2016)
• BASF Master Contractor (2017)
• BASF Master Contractor (2019)

Here’s what sets us apart…

  • Any Time of Year

    Summer, winter, spring or fall, our work doesn’t depend on the seasons at all. We get the job done under any weather condition British Columbia will throw at us.

  • Minimizing Disruptions

    Until we invent zero gravity, working on floors can be inconvenient for residents and customers. We work fast and minimize disruptions, from using fast-setting materials to rolling a phased approach.

  • Across Western Canada

    We work from Vancouver to the Fraser Valley, into the Okanagan Valley and even all the way to Saskatchewan. If you’ve got a concrete floor that needs our care, there’s no place in Canada that’s too far.

The Best Tools For Any Job

Having the right tools is an important of being able to do the job right. We’re always upgrading our equipment, making sure we’ve got the best tools available to do the job at hand. This allows us to work on some of the biggest parkades in the Lower Mainland while still being able to get into some of the tightest squeezes. And they say size doesn’t matter…wait til you meet Big Bertha.
