Why Choose Slip Free LLC
Six Reasons Michigan Operators Specify Slip Free LLC.
A sole-state authorized distributor. A measurable warranty. Documentation an auditor can read. And expertise that keeps you current with Michigan’s evolving premises-liability conversation.
Six Reasons
What Sets Slip Free LLC Apart.
Authorization
Slip Free LLC is the only authorized SureStep-distribution channel operating in the state. Every crew, every warranty, and every install stems from a single channel — not a network of unrelated contractors.
Warranty
SureStep’s manufacturer writes the warranty — not us. The standard warranty is 1 year commercial / 3 year residential, included at no charge; an extended warranty is available as the treatment naturally fades. The treatment is documented by the factory that makes it, and Slip Free LLC carries it through install. That separation is why a warranty holds.
Measurement
Every install is paired with the documentation the Americans with Disabilities Act, MIOSHA, and Joint Commission surveys cite. BOT3000e slip resistance testing available upon request. — documentation handed over after the install walk.
Coverage
Our crews live in the state and route daily. That means faster scheduling, fewer travel windows, and no national-contractor noise in your scheduling channel. See the day-to-day routing across Detroit, Ann Arbor, Lansing, and Grand Rapids on our Michigan service areas page.
Appearance
SureStep does not change color, sheen, or texture. Your designer chose that floor for a reason — we leave it alone, then make it safer.
Scheduling
Most commercial facilities are treated overnight. Kitchens open for breakfast. Lobbies open for morning shifts. Patient floors come back online one wing at a time. Your capital plan is unchanged.
Michigan Premises Liability
Built for the Post-2023 Compliance Era.
Michigan’s 2023 premises-liability reform narrowed how courts apply the long-standing “open and obvious” defense — the doctrine that historically allowed a property owner to argue a hazard was so plain a reasonable person should have seen it. The shift is not an end to the defense, but a recalibration: reasonable diligence on the part of the property owner is increasingly part of the analysis.
For facility operators in senior living, healthcare, restaurants, and skilled nursing, the practical upshot is increased weight on documented floor-safety decisions. A treated floor with the install record, a written warranty, and an install log is a different conversation than an untreated floor with a wet-floor sign — and that gap is widening, not narrowing.
We don’t offer legal advice and we can’t predict outcomes. What we can offer is a measured, factory-warranted engineering record that gives your team — and your counsel — a defensible starting point when the conversation comes up.
This is general information, not legal advice. Consult your counsel for guidance on how Michigan law applies to your facility.
Typical Approaches
Why Operators Choose SureStep Over Alternatives.
vs. Wet-Floor Sign Programs
A floor that needs a sign is a floor that needs a treatment. SureStep is one-time, invisible, and measured — so the sign comes down because the floor earns it.
vs. Floor Replacement
Rip-out-and-replace typically runs 8–15× more than a SureStep install — and weeks of operational disruption on top. SureStep runs in days, not quarters.
vs. Anti-Slip Coatings
Coatings sit on top of the tile — they peel, change the floor’s appearance, and need reapplication. SureStep changes the tile itself at the microscopic level, which is why it outlasts coatings. The standard 1-year commercial / 3-year residential warranty is included — and an extended warranty is available when the treatment fades.
Where We Earn Our Reputation
Four Priority Verticals. Built Around Your Risk Profile.
Each facility type has different compliance reviewers, different resident profiles, and different wet-area patterns. Our engineering is uniform — our scheduling and documentation are tuned to yours.
Priority 01
Common areas, dining rooms, bathing suites, and resident corridors — wet areas where the consequences of a single slip can be life-altering. Sure Step gives families, staff, and regulators confidence in every square foot.
