Q: How often should I have my floors professionally cleaned?

<div><p>You should aim to hire a professional floor cleaner <b>once or twice per year</b> to remove any set-in stains, resolve scratches, and make your floors look shiny and new again. If you have a bustling household with many children, pets, or severe allergies, having your floors cleaned four times per year is worth the investment to maintain the integrity of your flooring. Don&rsquo;t forget to prioritize cleaning your floors yourself in between professional cleanings, too.</p></div>

Q: How much does professional floor cleaning cost?

<div><p>The cost for professional floor cleaning is <b>$250</b> on average.

They did everything, demolished all old flooring, moved all furniture. They were really good about not only doing the job but doing it right. They found some sub-floor that needed fixed so we brought in someone else to do. Quality of the work is really high.

"We hired them to replace the floor in our living, kitchen, dining room, and laundry room. They worked with us to decide what kind/color flooring we wanted, did it in the time frame indicated, cleaned while they worked, were fun to be around, and came in UNDER estimate. I think the most important part is he returns phone calls/texts! Some things came up so it messed up the timeline we had (no big deal) and he let us know ahead of time. If you work (or try to) with any sort of contractor, hearing from them is the biggest challenge. The pics attached are what they faced when they pulled the carpet and the other pic is mid-dining room reno. Highly recommend - as much as I hate to, they may not be available for our next project if people hear how great they are!"
