Sudbury Rubber Surfacing is a poured-in-place rubber surfacing contractor working across Greater Sudbury, from the old city neighbourhoods to the Valley communities and the outlying towns inside the 2001 boundary. The rubber surfacing trade is simple to describe: rubber granules are mixed with a polyurethane binder on site and hand-troweled over whatever surface is there now. Every job is fully insured before the first tool comes off the truck.
The reason the business exists is that Sudbury slabs get a harder winter than most of Ontario. Four months of deep freeze, salt brine every night and a fast, wet spring thaw wreck concrete and asphalt, and a rubber surfacing layer that drains and flexes is the practical way to cover the damage without tearing the slab out.
Most of the first day of any job goes into the base, because that is what decides whether the rubber surfacing is still bonded in fifteen years. The surface is pressure washed or ground. Old sealer, paint and floor coatings are removed completely, since rubber will not bond through them. Oil stains come out. Cracks are cut, filled and, where they are still moving, properly repaired.
Only then is the surface primed and the rubber surfacing poured. A job that skips any of those steps looks fine in August and lifts at the edges the following May. The finished surface is only as good as the preparation under it, which is why none of those steps get skipped.
We work with two granules and two binders, and the quote records which pair was chosen. EPDM is virgin rubber; its colour runs the whole way through and it does not fade in sun, so it is the visible top on a coloured pool deck, patio or playground. SBR is shredded from tires, always black and less costly; it makes up the whole floor in a garage or gym and the cushion beneath EPDM on a playground.
The binder is either aromatic or aliphatic polyurethane. Aromatic costs less and is right for black and dark colours. Aliphatic costs more, and it will not amber, so pale tans, light greys and blues in full sun get aliphatic. Rubber surfacing that ambers was almost always a light colour poured with the cheaper binder, and the quote names the binder so that never happens by accident.
We cover the entire City of Greater Sudbury. That means the South End, New Sudbury, Minnow Lake, the Donovan, the Flour Mill, Gatchell, the West End and Copper Cliff in the old city; Lively, Naughton and Whitefish to the west; Garson, Coniston, Falconbridge and Wahnapitae to the east; and Azilda, Chelmsford, Val Caron, Hanmer, Blezard Valley and Capreol in the Valley.
The ground differs from one end of the city to the other. The old city and the South End sit on Canadian Shield rock with thin fill, so slabs crack where they span rock and soil. The Valley sits on deeper silts and sands that heave more evenly. Rubber surfacing handles both, but the site visit looks at which one it is dealing with before the quote is written.
We price from the site visit, and the visit is free. The square footage is measured, the base is inspected for sealer, moving cracks and moisture, the depth is chosen for the use, and the granule and binder are picked with you. For a deck, patio, step or garage floor already in place, the Sudbury going rate for rubber surfacing is eight to sixteen dollars a square foot; playgrounds sit at fifteen to thirty dollars or more, the depth accounting for the difference. Small jobs are priced with a minimum.
The quote you receive puts all of that on one page: product, binder, thickness in inches, area in square feet, preparation included, and the total. There is no separate rubber surfacing estimate that changes later.
