Q: How long does it take to strip and wax floors?

• <div><p>The answer to this question depends on how large the room is and how much experience you have stripping and waxing floors. It will take at least 24 hours to strip the floors, then you must allow time for drying, waxing, waiting for them to cure, and, finally, buffing them. Since you likely will not be working for the full 24 hours, it is safe to say that this is a two- or three-day job.</p></div>

Q: Can I use a floor grinder to remove paint from concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, but with caution. A floor grinder is intended to level and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-polish-concrete-floors.htm">polish concrete</a>, so it is a very powerful tool. To remove paint, the floor grinder should be set to 35 square feet per minute or less to minimize the pressure without the use of pocket weights. You might need to go over the surface two times to get any paint that has sunk into the concrete&rsquo;s pores.</p></div>

Q: How do you shine waxed floors?

• <div><p>If you have waxed floors or floors with a penetrating stain or oil, you can shine them up with some more wax and a cloth or floor buffer. After cleaning the floor thoroughly, apply wax to the floor in small sections and use a clean, dry cloth or towel to buff it until it shines. You can also use an electric polisher, which is especially handy for large floors.</p></div>

Q: Can you use bleach on Dekton?

• <div><p>No, you cannot use bleach on Dekton. Avoid harsh chemicals when cleaning and treating Dekton. Such chemicals are unnecessary since Dekton is highly stain-resistant and nonporous. Instead, use a mild solution of water and soap or vinegar when cleaning your Dekton countertops and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.</p></div>

Q: How do you make a no-rinse floor cleaner?

• <div><p>Most DIY floor cleaners don&rsquo;t require rinsing, but you&rsquo;ll want to make sure you don&rsquo;t add too much dish soap or oil to the cleaner to avoid having to rinse it after cleaning. For non-wood floors, mix 8 parts warm water, 1 part vinegar, and 1 part baking soda with a few drops of dish soap. For wood floors, use olive oil in that same mixture instead of the vinegar. You can let these solutions air-dry after cleaning your floors with them, although you should manually dry your floors if they aren&rsquo;t waterproof.</p></div>

Responsive, professional, and good work quality. They were forthcoming with the price and did what they said they would do. I plan on coming to them first if I need more flooring jobs done in the future.

George did an inspection of a balcony we had added to our second floor master bedroom. I was very happy with his knowledge and service. He provided a report on the deficiencies and issues with this project and backed up his report with pictures of each deficiency. This was not a complete...

It turned out beautifully. Alan and I met before the wood was even delivered to scope the job and timing. Alan’s knowledge was invaluable in figuring how to do the treads because the stair nose molding from the manufacturer was not a close match, so my plan of using the acacia wouldn’t work....

They started upstairs and worked their way down. The last three rooms that they were supposed to paint they rushed through the process. They knew a week ahead that I was having the cabinets in the kitchen put in. They should have planned to do this at a sooner time. There was a hole in a wall...

Terry came exactly as promised- he sanded the old wood floors and refinished them. They are gleaming and beautiful. It took several days for them to dry, but it was well worth it. We were told there would be fine dust covering everything so there were no surprises

Beautiful refinishing job. Got color just right, not too glossy so grain of wods shows itself off nicely. I appreciate Andrews' attention to detail, such as not only polishing aged brass feet on pedestal base but also adding teflon sliders to raise them up slightly so metal won't scratch floor.
