I have hands-on experience working on residential renovations and house-flipping projects with my family. My work includes painting, drywall, carpentry, flooring, tile, kitchen and bathroom renovations, decks, doors, trim, demolition, and general home repairs. I focus on clean, detailed work, clear communication, and treating every home with care. I am available for both smaller repairs and larger residential improvement projects.
"The owner, along with her technician, examined the floor in my home. They gave me their opinion of what needed to be done. This coincided with my opinion of the scope of the work, since I have had that done previously. She gave me a price which was within the range I wanted to spend. She came with two technicians. She made sure that everything was going smoothly before she left. They came on time. The technicians performed the work beautifully. They were very polite and answered any questions I had. The owner returned at the time she anticipated the job would be completed and inspected the work. I was very pleased and happy with the work. They did a better job then my previous company, which I thought was good. The finished product looked like it did when the marble was first laid. She also provides a guarantee. I would definitely recommend New Galaxy floors and will use them again. "

Yes, it is possible to buff and polish your floors yourself, particularly for smaller areas. However, this is considered an intermediate-level DIY project that is time-consuming and requires patience and know-how. The process involves cleaning the floors before applying a polish, which can be done manually with a cloth or with a rented or purchased floor buffer and buffing solution. If not done correctly, you risk leaving burn-like marks, puddles, or an uneven finish, which could lead to costly repairs. For larger spaces or to ensure a professional result, hiring a professional is often worthwhile. They use industrial equipment to complete the job faster, providing a deep clean and a more even, polished finish without damaging your floors.
While no countertop material is truly “heatproof,” granite countertops are extremely resistant to high temperatures. Some types of granite can withstand temperatures up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. However, we don’t recommend placing hot pots and pans directly on granite countertops. Even if it doesn’t scar the granite, it may damage the sealant.
It is advisable to have stone countertops inspected every few years, especially if damage is noticed. Regular maintenance and inspection help catch and resolve issues early, extending the countertops' lifespan.
Standing water can lead to surface discoloration if your granite countertops are improperly sealed. However, it’s possible to remove hard water stains with a baking soda paste. Take more care with acidic liquids, such as fruit juice or red wine, which can leave more permanent stains. That’s why it’s so important to reseal these surfaces regularly.
Buffing is a less expensive and less time-consuming alternative to other floor repair techniques, but it’s only ideal for removing surface-level scratches and damages. Floor-buffing machines work to gently smooth out the floor’s top layer rather than removing it the way that sanding does.
This process is ideal for gently worn floors, but it won’t have the desired impact on floors with severe damage. On the other hand, sanding fully strips the floor’s top layer so damages beneath the surface are accessible to remove or repair. Since the process is more involved, it requires more time, tools, and experience to achieve the best possible results.
