Simon Surfaces

For facility teams, some surface problems are too visible to ignore but not damaged enough to justify tearing everything out.

A curb that keeps chipping. A fuel island that looks beat up. A drive-thru island edge starting to break down. A dumpster pad that's taken one too many hits. No surprise there.

That's where the next step gets less obvious.

Patch it again and hope it holds? Replace the whole area and deal with the cost, downtime, and disruption?

A curb, fuel island, entrance walkway, and dumpster pad all take different traffic, impact, chemicals, moisture, and daily wear. The repair plan should account for that.

Sometimes repair is enough. Sometimes resurfacing makes more sense. Sometimes a tear-out really is the right call.

Don’t default to the quickest patch or the biggest project. Look at the damage, how the area is used, and what it needs to hold up against.

Got one of these sitting on your property? Don’t guess between another patch and a full tear-out.

“Can someone check the pool deck? A member says it’s too hot to walk on.”
It’s a complaint club teams know well during the summer.

Pool decks need to look good, provide traction around water, and hold up to sun, chlorine, and daily use. When the surface starts showing its age, full replacement isn’t always the first option.

If the existing surface is a good candidate, resurfacing options like Simon FX can be installed over it to create a seamless rubber surface with added cushion and slip resistance. That can also mean less demolition and less disruption.

Clubs can choose from different colors, patterns, and custom logo options, so the finished surface can fit the overall look of the property.

So before asking, “How do we replace it?” it may be worth asking:
“Can we resurface it?”

Concrete repairs at a c-store happen in the middle of everything.
Fuel pumps. Customer traffic. Deliveries. Store employees. Trash areas. Walkways. Curbs. Parking.

A recent Facilities Dive article looked at why c-store remodels are difficult when stores stay open: https://okt.to/oKcSed

The same challenge applies to exterior surface repairs.

Fuel islands, tank pads, sidewalks, curbs, dumpster pads, and other customer-facing concrete are part of how the site operates. Customers still need to get in and out. Deliveries still need access. Employees still need safe paths. Pump lanes, entrances, and parking areas may still need to stay open.

That means the repair plan has to account for more than the damaged surface. Before work starts, the plan needs to answer things like:
• Can customers still get to the store and pumps?
• Can cars still move safely through the lot?
• Can deliveries and trash pickup still happen?
• Can employees still get to the areas they need?
• Can the work be done in phases instead of closing off too much at once?
• Can the work happen during off-hours?
• Which lanes, entrances, or equipment need to stay open?
• How soon does the area need to reopen?

For facility teams, it’s not just, “Can this be repaired or restored?”
It’s, “Can the work happen without disrupting the site?”

Before work starts, Simon Surfaces looks at how the site is used, what needs to stay accessible, and how quickly the area needs to return to service.

When a concrete repair goes wrong, who gets stuck sorting it out?
Usually, the facility team.

A lot of concrete repair projects involve one company making the materials and another installing them. Simon Surfaces does both.

We manufacture our own epoxy products and employ the crews who install them, which means fewer handoffs and clearer accountability from start to finish.
We make it. We install it. We own it.

What if a curb repair could take a recurring maintenance problem off your list?

At this bank drive-thru, rusting metal bands were pulling away from deteriorating concrete, creating safety and maintenance concerns. The condition called for more than a cosmetic patch, but not a full tear-out. Restoring the existing islands offered a practical alternative to ongoing patchwork or full replacement.

Fuel islands restored faster than a gas station snack run.

Daily traffic, weather and wear are hard on fuel islands. Cracked concrete and rusted bands don’t just look bad. They turn the pump area into another maintenance problem.

Is your concrete floor driving up forklift maintenance costs?

Damaged joints and uneven floors mean more vibration, faster tire wear, and more maintenance.

Not every damaged surface needs to be torn out and replaced.
Simon Surfaces helps commercial properties restore worn concrete, coatings, and fuel islands with a manufacturer + installer approach.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿 & 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴
Curbs, sidewalks, ramps, thresholds, walkways, steps, and other concrete surfaces that need more than a temporary patch. We also resurface larger areas when the existing concrete can be restored instead of replaced.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀
Surfacing solutions for facilities that need added protection, durability, and easier cleaning. These solutions are used in areas exposed to moisture, chemicals, frequent cleaning, impact, or traffic.

𝗙𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
A mortar restoration system for damaged fuel islands, including worn concrete, damaged curbs, peeling coatings, or rusted metal bands. We also restore worn or damaged tank pad areas.

For commercial property owners and facility teams, that means one national team is responsible from product development to installation to finished surface.

That’s the Simon Surfaces difference.

Fuel islands built for sedans are now dealing with trucks, SUVs and constant forecourt traffic. That changes the design.

Older dogbone-shaped islands and metal bands were common for years, but today’s fueling sites need stronger materials, simpler designs and better protection around dispensers.

The article breaks down what changed and why fuel island design matters more than most people think.

The biggest improvement is not what you see in the after photo. At an automotive facility in Washington, Pennsylvania, years of vehicle traffic had left the concrete floor worn, pitted and creating safety concerns for the crew.

Simon Surfaces repaired 100 sq. ft. of floor defects first, then finished the full 2,455 sq. ft. surface with Simon UM.

The result was a tougher, non-porous floor built for daily vehicle traffic and easier cleanup. The work was completed between closing Saturday and opening Monday morning, so the bays were ready to go.

A better-looking floor is a bonus. A floor that works better for the operation is the real win.
