202 Cooper

At the Cooper 202 apartment renovation in Chandler, Arizona, the project team encountered a significant substrate restoration challenge. The existing gypsum underlayment had deteriorated extensively, leaving a cracked, weakened, and powdery surface that threatened both flooring performance and long-term system durability.

To restore a reliable foundation, the team implemented a proven, multi-step solution. The substrate was first stabilized and treated with the properly (or recommended) application of Multi-Use Acrylic Primer to strengthen and prepare the surface. Maxxon® Reinforcement was then installed to add structural support, followed by the placement of 3/8" of Level EZ™ + Fibers to create a flat, durable underlayment system.

The result was a fully restored substrate capable of supporting consistent, long-term flooring performance. By combining proper surface preparation with reinforced, fiber-enhanced underlayment, the team transformed a failing base into a strong, dependable foundation- demonstrating how the right system can successfully overcome even severely compromised conditions in multifamily renovation projects.
