How to request a rubber surfacing installer: what to have ready
Quick answer
Resin Rubber is a materials supplier and does not install surfaces. Approved installers are ones Resin Rubber has trained and approved. The find an installer form asks for the project type, location, approximate area, existing surface and timeline, and the team checks which approved installer covers your area. Having the measurements, photos of the existing surface and a sense of how the area is used makes the first reply more useful.
Key takeaways
- Resin Rubber supplies materials and connects customers with approved installers; it does not install.
- The form asks for project type, city and state, ZIP, approximate area, existing surface and timeline.
- Photos of the existing surface, cracks and drainage problems are the most useful extra detail.
- The installer assesses the site and quotes the work. The quote, not the materials list, is the price.
- Ask the installer the questions in the hiring guide before you agree.
An approved installer is one that Resin Rubber has trained and approved. To get matched with one, fill in the find an installer form with your project type, location, approximate area, existing surface and timeline. Resin Rubber does not install surfaces itself. The team checks which approved installer covers your area, and that installer assesses the site and quotes the work.
What the form asks
The find an installer form asks for:
- Project type: pool deck or splash pad; patio, pathway or steps; playground or play area; driveway or garage; gym or fitness area; deck surfacing; golf or commercial pathway; animal care facility; or something else.
- Location: city, state or province, and ZIP or postal code. The form covers all 50 US states and DC, plus the Canadian provinces and territories.
- Approximate area.
- Existing surface: concrete; pavers or tile; asphalt; wood or composite deck; compacted aggregate; old rubber surface; or not sure.
- Timeline: as soon as possible, in 1 to 3 months, in 3 to 6 months, or just researching.
- Anything else the installer should know.
You also give your name, email and phone, and agree to be contacted. Text messages are optional.
What to prepare
None of these is required, but each makes the first conversation faster.
Measurements and a sketch
Approximate length and width, and a rough layout showing steps, curves, edges and where the surface meets other materials.
Photos of the existing surface
Photos of cracks, stains, low spots and anywhere water collects. The installer is deciding whether the base is sound before anything else. See is your concrete ready for rubber?.
How the area is used
Foot traffic, vehicles, equipment, pets or washdowns. Use changes the specification. A driveway is a heavier duty than a patio (can a rubber driveway take vehicles?), and a playground follows the fall height of its equipment.
Colors you are considering
Look at color options or try the rubber visualizer, then request physical samples. Confirm the final choice on site with the installer. See designing a custom blend.
Your timeline and constraints
Access, when the area can be closed, and any event or season you are working to. Curing time is separate from working time, and cold, damp conditions slow curing.
What happens next
Requests are answered in 24 to 48 business hours, according to the Contractor Edition 2026.
- The team checks which approved installer covers your location.
- The installer assesses your site. This is where the base, drainage, joints and exposure are checked.
- The installer specifies the system and gives a quote for the installation.
The Contractor Edition says most residential projects are completed within 1 to 2 days, depending on the size of the area and the condition of the base. Curing time is separate, and your installer gives return-to-use instructions.

Questions to ask the installer
Before you sign, ask about their experience, the granules and binder they use, how they prepare the base, the thickness they recommend, the warranty, how they handle weather and whether they can show older projects. The full list is in 10 questions to ask before hiring a rubber surfacing installer.
If you are a contractor
You do not need the form. Open a trade account and read about the routes in trade account, starter kit or dealer program.
Next step
Request an installer. If you only need materials, contact Resin Rubber with the application, area, existing surface and preferred colors.
