Q: How often should I have my floors cleaned?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re doing regular cleaning&mdash;like vacuuming and mopping&mdash;<b>once every two weeks</b>, then call in a professional floor cleaner about <b>twice per year</b> to complete a deep clean. A deep clean service includes cleaning the grout between tiles, removing stains from carpets, and addressing water spots or other discoloration on wood floors. You may want to consider getting your floors professionally cleaned more often if you have children or pets that leave messes. In those cases, once per quarter or even more frequently is probably a better option.</p></div>

Q: What if the floor has only lost its luster and not been damaged or blemished?

• <div><p>Before starting on a full refinishing project, determine if your floors need to be completely sanded down to the bare wood or if the damage is shallow and mostly cosmetic. Deep scratches and gouges will require you to rough sand using a drum sander or belt sander, but small surface scratches or floors that have only lost their luster don&rsquo;t need a complete overhaul. Instead, you can skip the rough sanding step and sand-screen the old finish with a buffer, removing only the top layer of polyurethane.</p></div>

Q: What should I do after removing the carpet?

• <div><p>After carpet removal, prepare for new flooring by assessing the subfloor. You will want to address any imperfections to create a smooth and level base for installation. Remember, proper subfloor preparation is crucial for optimal new flooring results. Consider repairing and replacing damaged areas for a stable foundation. For both wood and concrete subfloors, consider sanding to remove any debris or adhesives remaining thoroughly. </p></div>

Q: How often should you strip and wax a floor?

• <div><p>You should strip and wax hardwood floors every six months to two years. The actual length of time between stripping and waxing depends on the wear and tear that the floors see.

Very professional and listened to my concerns. Did a great job putting down my flooring. Came back and took care of some issues. They put down vinyl planks, that look like wood, but are more durable. They’ll do a good job for you. Tania and another installer were great.

They did a good job drying out the crawl space and removing the mold. However, they did not adequately fix the hole they cut into my bathroom floor. They never stopped in daily to check on the progress as they said they would. And, when they charged my credit card, they overcharged me by more...

tThe process is 3 fold, first you go to the store to set up a detail. That is where you pay $35.00 for the installer to come out to measure the area. They in turn send the information to Lowes, then you go back to the store to pick out everything you need. The installer will call you to set up a...

We took down the vent hood & put it in the garage for painting. The workman came at the precise time we'd agreed upon. We had put Kraft paper under the hood to protect the floor, but he was careful enough to lay down even more. There was absolutely NO mess & the hood looks like new. After...
