To 150 sq ft.

A visit, in order
How a floor visit goes
A kitchen and an entry together usually take half a morning.
- 01
Step 1: Walk-through
We check the tile type, the grout and any loose or cracked spots.

Step 2: Protect
Cabinet toe-kicks and baseboards masked where needed, mats at the doors.

Step 3: Scrub
Cleaner down, a few minutes to work, then the machine and the brush.
- 04
Step 4: Extract
The rinse water goes up with the wet-vac, and the floor is wiped along the edges.

We tell you when you can walk on it and send a photo from the doorway.

Questions
Floor questions
How long until I can walk on it?
After a clean only, once it is dry to the touch, and we tell you when at the visit. After a sealer, about a day.
Why does my grout get dark again so fast?
Grout is porous and takes up mop water and dirt. A sealer slows that down, and a mop with clean water helps more than a mop with cleaner.
Can you do the whole house?
Yes. Whole-floor work is priced by the square foot, and the written price shows each room.
Send a photo of the floor
A photo from the doorway and the room size are enough for a written price.
