CMT Diagnosis Touches Hearts in OC
The Orange County Register travels into our office kitchen every week and occasionally it’s flipped through by the intermittent MBW employee. While waiting for his food to finish cooking, Mark Beamish stumbled upon an article that reinforced the drive and passion that we have for our Charity partnership with MDA.
He read about a local mother who had been struggling with CMT for years, but it was only recently diagnosed. For Autumn Mcalpin simple things like opening a jar or buttoning her coat started to seem like daunting tasks. As the symptoms only continued to worsen, she spent the next ten years being passed from one Doctor to another as each of them were stumped by her aliments. Last year she encountered mixed feelings of relief and fear as her disease was finally diagnosed as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
There is no known cure for her disease, but everyday through this journey she feels the love and support of the MDA community. She recently participated in her first MDA walk, the same event that our MBW team walked in.
Autumn was overwhelmed by the experience, “Behind sunglasses that hid the tears, I looked around at the dozens of others families who suffered…I marveled at their courage, their strength, their muscle. They are my heroes.”
We have a passion for MDA because of their reach and ability to touch so many lives throughout the globe, but most of all because we are able to see the direct impact of our effort in the lives of those around us. Our communities banding together to create awareness and support for these terrible diseases was an experience that none of us will likely forget.

Check out this beautiful white urethane coating that MBW installed at Systems Source!
This was accomplished by mechanically shot blasting to provide a clean and profiled floor. Joint, cracks, and spalls were then filled and patched with a semi rigid epoxy. Once the floor was re-cleaned, MBW installed the finished product that you see below.
What an incredible result!

MDA Muscle Walk Success!
The MDA Muscle Walk was a HUGE success! The MBW team had a great day meeting the MDA kids and joining together as a company to support such a great organization. MBW doubled our goal and ended up raising just over $1,600, which will send two kids to camp this summer! MDA raised a grand total of $60,000 for the entire walk. What a great experience for us as a company to be a part of!
A Stellar Reputation
MBW prides itself in providing top customer satisfaction. Several new initiatives have been put into place in order to ensure that every aspect of our company is modeling this mantra. In October 2011 we started what we call our Customer CARE program. After every job that MBW completes the customer receives a follow up customer service call asking if they were satisfied with the work that was done, and if any improvements could have been made. We have found this to be an invaluable tool for connecting with our customers as well as challenging ourselves to make sure our customer service penetrates every channel of the MBW pipeline.

8 Steps to keep your Polished Concrete in Top Condition
MBW’s 8 Tips for Your New Floor
1. Do not wash for at least 48 hours on newly applied and cured floors.
2. After the 48-hour period, you may clean floor with warm water only ( no soaps or detergents…ever).
3. Wipe us all spills immediately with a damp cloth.
4. Use medium to soft bristle brush to remove any stubborn stains. Use mild scrubbing pads or clean mops only.
5. Use of a commercially available wax is not recommended.
6. More frequent cleaning results in a longer lasting shine.
7. Use of a “walk off” mat or rug at entries will reduce dirt build up at thresholds.
8. For professional cleaning or maintenance, contact MBW for a free, no-obligation inspection.

Using Epoxy for Concrete Cracks
MBW completes floors from Concrete polishing to Epoxy, but what you may not know is that Epoxy can be used for more than just a flooring solution. In fact, Epoxy is a great way to fill cracks that have been created in concrete. It is both natural and expected that concrete flatwork will crack over time, but MBW believes in the importance of upkeep and maintenance on those floors to keep them in tip top shape. Using Epoxy to fill those cracks is a fast and cost effective solution for keeping your floors looking great!
