"This individual came and quoted the job to level the floor in half of our basement so we could put floor down in August 2022. He said it would be done in 3 days. Subsequent occurrences: - Got COVID and started the job late. Understandable - Only poured half of the materials when self-leveling so the floor wasn't level. - He unevenly mixed sand in the concrete in certain parts, which caused holes in the concrete when we had to grind it down. - When he poured the rest, it made several parts of our floor too high, to the point where we wouldn't be able to open our back door if we installed the tile. - Came back several times to try to correct the floor but couldn't get it flat because so much grinding needed to be done. - We made the mistake of paying him in full after he came back for the 10th time, in good faith, so he could take his family on vacation... (our mistake) - Damaged the walls in the basement... - Got COVID a second time? a month or two after he had COVID last time... - Kept saying he would show up to fix the floor then wouldn't show up for weeks at a time. - After taking 2-3 months to finally stop showing up, the floor was NOT level, he still hadn't finished the job... and wasn't communicating with us about when he was going to come back. We had to then grind the $500 in materials we purchased into dust and remove it in trash bags, taking up several weeks of trash collection to fully dispose of the excess concrete that was poured. - My husband ended up finishing the job himself between December 2022 and February 2023.... and emailed M&R to let him know. He emailed us yesterday, July 27, 2023, (11 months after he quoted the job and 8 months after he stopped showing up) to say he wanted to come over and finish the job.... with the email title "stupid."... said he wants to "square this up for you and my own sanity" with a "Kind Regards" at the end."

Buffing and Polishing questions, answered by experts

Unsealed granite is more susceptible to staining and other damage. Regularly sealing your granite countertops decreases the chances you’ll need to repair damaged countertops in the future. It also keeps it looking shiny rather than becoming dull over time. You can check whether your granite needs resealing by putting a few drops of water on the counter and waiting 15 minutes to see whether the water permeates the surface.

To clean stone tiles, first sweep or vacuum to remove dirt particles. Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent and warm water to mop. Be careful not to use acidic cleaning solutions, such as vinegar and lemon juice, which can damage the surface.

The first step to resealing is a thorough steam cleaning of the tile and grout. You can do this by renting a tile and grout cleaner for $80 a day. Once you’re done cleaning the floor, it’ll cost $30 to $40 per quart for sealant. Or, you can hire a pro who will charge $1 to $2 per square foot for cleaning and resealing services.

Granite should be resealed every 12 to 18 months, depending on the color and usage. Lighter granite needs to be resealed more frequently than darker colors. If you use acidic cleaners or prepare food on the surface regularly, you must reseal the surface more frequently. Without proper sealing, granite is vulnerable to staining. You can tell if your countertop needs to be resealed by placing a wet paper towel on the counter for 10 minutes. If the water beads up, it is still sufficiently sealed; if it sinks in, it’s time to apply sealant.

It is possible to buff and polish your floors yourself, but DIY floor polishing is an extremely time-consuming process that isn’t particularly enjoyable. To do the work yourself, you’ll usually need to clean your floors, get on your hands and knees to apply polish manually with a cloth, and avoid puddles and oversaturation. Hiring a professional floor polisher is usually worthwhile because they have industrial equipment that buffs and polishes in a fraction of the time and usually leaves a more even coat.
