Why Our Customers Choose Us

Trusted & Experienced

Apex Surfacing has been installing a variety of surfacing systems since 2014, and already has a large list of clients including Jumpstart Charities, PCL Construction, and many cities and municipalities across western Canada. Our installation systems have been refined over decades and we are fully accredited with the Better Business Bureau. Apex Surfacing is Canada's only accredited Life Floor installer.

Ethics & Client Care

In a world where referrals and references mean everything, our goal is to earn just that. We believe that taking care of our customers long-term is beneficial for both the end user and ourselves. Our commercial team will recommend and help you apply for grants that can save you money, if eligible.

Warranty & Service

Quality products are truly measured by the quality of installation. We have been trained and certified by all necessary manufacturers in order to give you the best looking product. We back up our products with industry-leading warranties and offer best-in-class client care from quote to installation to warranty.

Local Experts

We're from the Canadian prairies, so we know our products and installation need to withstand our climate. Apex Surfacing products are UV resistant and durable, even in extreme temperatures. Life Floor foam tiles naturally expand and contract, so they can flex with huge temperature swings.

Top-Quality Products

We work with industry leaders, so we're able to offer our clients optimal choice and confidence. We're the exclusive dealer in the region for Life Floor — the number one choice for aquatic surfaces. Laykold was chosen for the US Open — now you can have it on your court too!

Sustainability

We are committed to conducting business in a way that uses resources wisely and protects the environment for future generations. We use 100% recyclable or environmentally friendly materials. Last year, Apex Surfacing used over one million pounds of recycled material.
