Posted on: 05-19-2014 by Elizabeth Yokel

 

 

 

 

Hi. My name is Elizabeth Yokel. I am the publisher of Floor Covering Media. The following is the first segment of our spotlight series on demolition tools, which focuses on flooring removal specialists; the customers they serve and demolition tool suppliers that serve their crews so they can get the job done.

 

 

Business owners and homeowners are turning to specialty service providers;

whose tools of choice -used to get the job done- are versatile and adaptable.

 

What is the Spotlight Series?

 

Business owners and do-it-yourself homeowners are learning about demolition tools best for tearing out flooring faster and easier in the spotlight series for flooring removal specialists; growing in popularity among those who are in the market for demolition tools. What they are learning is the right demolition tools dramatically cut the time it takes to tear out the flooring that must be removed.

 

Floor Covering Media's popular public search engine: FloorSearch.info is one of many search tools for general searches; though it is one of a only few search tools for flooring-specific searches. Learn all about the best demolition tools for your flooring project. Demolition tool suppliers want to help you get the demolition part of the project out of the way and get to installing the flooring faster. Questions? Ask them HERE.

 

Business owners and homeowners preoccupied with pressing issues have a staggering number of uncertainties -to worry about- on any given day. Because of this, they welcome and are receptive to those creative solutions that are most likely to support them, as they cope with uncertainties they face.

 

 

While few of us look forward to removing flooring from a business or a home, many of us are greatful for the service providers that specialize in this task. Mahtomedi, Minnesota-based, Flooring Removal Inc. has a track record of satisfied customers; who happily refer them to business colleagues, friends, family members and others who are in the market for their specialty services.

 

The company's crew removes interior surfaces; swiftly, cleanly and affordably. The company's owners care as much about a project as their customers do! Those open to outsourcing the removal of flooring with discretionary funding in the budget to do so may contact the company for an affordable quote to dispense with this part of a flooring project. Few dispute removing surfaces, which must be replaced, is unpleasant, messy and problematic. Fortunately, Flooring Removal Inc. does the job few look forward to at an affordable price.

 

 

Business owners and homeowners, located in Mahtomedi, Minnesota and vicinity who are in the market for flooring removal services are likely to rely on Flooring Removal Inc, a licensed, bonded, insured and an 'EPA Lead Safe' certified firm (License #NAT-1156703-1).

 

Flooring Removal Inc. removes commercial flooring and residential flooring. Typical projects -that the company gets involved with- include: Restaurants, retail stores, shopping centers, banks, schools, office buildings, multi-housing, manufacturing facilities, churches, warehouses, garages, hospitals, houses, basements, apartments, and other residential homes.

 

 

Flooring Removal Inc. has an arsenal of demolition tools to remove flooring. The right tools are essential to the company's success; they find time to buy the best tools, ideal for their line of work. Because the company is responsible for arming the crew with more versatile and adaptable tools, they try to avoid reaching for less versatile and adaptable tools; even if they cost less money.

 

When faced with 'not-so-easy' demolition tasks, they recognize an added value to arming their crews with versatile, adaptable, durable demolition tools; preferably ones in their very own carrying case, so crews are unlikely to misplace or lose the multiple parts. The company saves money on labor costs by investing in more versatile, adaptable, durable tools; that are worth the price tag, because they practically pay for themselves after the first few jobs.

 

Tools are important to improve a crew's efficiency. So it was decided to publish a spotlight series that focuses on demolition tools. The first segment below introduces a duo of fine tool makers; one located on the east coast, the other located on the west coast. Each of these tool makers provides practical solutions for demolition crews; tasked to tear out interior and exterior flooring.

 

 

 

We begin this series with a segment on prybars; one of many tools, flooring contractors require for demolition tasks, on the jobsite. During the job, demolition tasks are probably the least glorious and sought-after of the tasks that flooring contractors must perform. Crew leaders delegating demolition tasks are well served to equip their crew with the right tools for the demolition portion of the job. The less time, that the crew spends on the tear-out portion of the project, the less money it costs contractors to remove the flooring.

 

 

WHaTS this?

 

Our first supplier is a creative inventor of an environmentally friendly prybar. Woodstock, Vermont-based Wheeled Hand Tool Systems (WHaTS), a division of Eco Systems, Inc., was founded in 1978 by Gerry Hawkes as a small research and development company; dedicated to devising solutions, which reduce human impact on the environment. The above wheeled pry bar is a double pry bar system with double leverage handles; that takes advantage of an ideal fulcrum provided by a wheel and axle. It consists of: 1 universal frame; 1 short, stainless steel axle; a single flat proof wheel; a pair of pry bars in the front; and a pair of high handles in the back; plus 2 lynch pins; 2 bolts with wing nuts and 2 quick release detent pins which come with their associated components.

 

 


The single wheel allows the wheeled pry bar to be maneuvered and tilted to align the paired pry bars with rocks, logs or debris to be levered.  The wheel also acts as an excellent, well positioned fulcrum that is always present and will not slip out from under the lever. 

 

 

With the two high handles in the rear, the user can utilize full body weight for levering while maintaining stability and reducing upper body bending.  The double pry bars provide 2 point lifting on objects so they are far less likely to slip to one side.  Objects may even be lifted and maneuvered while resting on the paired pry bars.

 

 

For moving large objects short distances, WHaTS rolling levers with two wheels provide more stability, however the two wheel configuration is not as versatile for aligning the pry bars with jumbled rocks and debris.  Thus it is recommended that objects in jumbled piles be levered up and maneuvered into alignment with WHaTS wheeled pry bars then moved short distances with WHaTS rolling levers. For moving larger loads longer distances WHaTS rock & debris haulers work best. 

 

 

Our next supplier provides business owners and homeowners with a versatile, adaptable demolition tool. A premium prybar system equipped with an arsenal of accessories is packed in a convenient carrying case that permits users to conveniently change its shape for multiple tasks. Could your pry bar do this?

 

 

Tigard, Oregan-based, Artillery Tools was founded by an inventive tool maker; who developed a versatile, adaptable prybar system; designed with flooring contractors in mind. Flooring contractors that decide to arm their crews with the Artillery Prybar system are likely to feel empowered; that they can achieve even the most stubborn demolition tasks.

Gerald Toppen, Owner of Vancouver, Washington-based ServiceMASTER, recently remarked that "Artillery Tools makes one of the best demolition tools on the market"; a opinion that carries some weight and likely to leverage the future buying decisons of the other ServiceMASTER owners and tool buyers.

In 2014, the company plans to introduce new flooring tools into their bull pen of demolition tools. One is called the scraping fulcrum. The other is called the double-toe kick. Look for future media coverage on these flooring tools later in the year when Artillery Tools launches their redesigned website.

 

In 2014, the prybar's inventor demonstrated how the Artillery Pry Bar System saves flooring contractors time and money at a number of trade shows; including the: DKI Insights Show; held in Indian Wells, California on February 10th and 11th; followed by the RIA Leadership Summit; held in Orlando Florida on April 9-11 (the company's first RIA Show) and the PuroClean Show; held in Louisville Kentucky on May 7-9; Artillery Tools exhibited at the PuroClean Show last year, as well.

Most media planners aren't unlikely to consider Floor Covering Media for the schedule particularly with flooring clients. It is a natural fit or would seem so. 

 

 

During the course of the media plan, it isn't incredibly uncommon for the media planners to request specific pages. The Flooring Briefs page is one of the most commonly requested pages.

 

 

It's appealing to seasoned media planners. It's not a challenge to present even as an experiment to the client. There are a diversity of headlines over time each of which appeals to a broad range of interests within this niche industry. It is also affordably priced not to break the bank.
