FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Do you bid as a subcontractor on commercial projects?
- Yes — much of our work comes through general contractors. We deliver complete, reliable numbers and as a union, bonded, and insured shop we meet the compliance requirements of public and institutional projects.
- What areas do you serve?
- We're based in Fort Wayne and work across northeast Indiana, with projects into Ohio and Michigan for the right job.
- Can you work while our facility stays open?
- Yes. We routinely phase installations, work nights, and sequence around school calendars, store hours, and healthcare operations so your facility keeps running.
- Which material is right for a high-traffic commercial floor?
- It depends on traffic, maintenance budget, and the life you expect from the building. Terrazzo has the lowest lifetime cost and routinely lasts 40+ years; polished concrete is hard to beat on first cost for big-box space; LVT and tile cover the middle. We'll give you an honest comparison for your specific project.
- Do you restore existing terrazzo and stone floors?
- Yes — historic terrazzo and stone can almost always be repaired, patched, and re-polished. Restoration is often dramatically cheaper than replacement and preserves original craftsmanship.
- How long has F & M been in business?
- Since 1958 — 68 years of commercial hard-surface work in Fort Wayne under the same name.
