Hardwood Floor Cleaning & Protection

When you look at your once-beautiful hardwood floor what do you see? Over time, with nothing more than regular traffic and routine cleaning, hardwood begins to look dull and dingy. The cleaning that once worked no longer has any effect. If this sounds familiar to you, give us a call. Our service starts with a thorough, dust-free cleaning—not sanding or screening—of your floor. We then apply one coat of our special water base floor finish/sealer and allow it to dry for no more than one hour, and then apply another coat to give your floor that wonderful shine it once had. Your floor will be walk able in one hour and you can replace the furniture in four hours. There is no harsh, long lasting petroleum odor as with oil-based products. The best part is the cost—much less than traditional floor refinishing services. If you would like to find out more, call us today at 303-229-4411. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your floor as well as a firm price quote. Read below for a description of the complete process

The Process
Step 1 — Visual Inspection
We will join you in the inspection to be sure that we have found all damaged areas. Another purpose of the inspection is to determine if we can restore the appearance level with our system, or if a more aggressive restoration will be required, including sanding, staining and refinishing.

Step 2 — Damage Repair
We will fill in the cracks, gouges and separations with special wood filler. If we don't have exactly the right color our technicians will mix colors to match.

 

Step 3 — Complete Cleaning and Abrasion
This step will remove all loose and embedded soil. It will take off scuff marks and, through mild abrasion, will remove the surface layer of the old finish. This leaves your floor in the ideal condition for the next finish to be applied. This entire process is dust free.

Step 4 — Initial Sealer Coat of Finish

Step 5 — Final Finish Coat
You have your choice of semi-gloss or matte
(satin) finish.

You now have a beautiful, durable finish that
will protect, beautify and add years to the life
of your hardwood floors.

The same process can be used to refinish other fine hardwood furnishings. Cabinets, tables and desks can be restored to a new look and protected from damage. A little preventative maintenance will help keep those expensive pieces in top condition for life.

Did you Know?
If floors and furnishings are neglected, the finish can wear through causing loss of stain color and damage to the actual wood. This will require extensive restoration including complete sanding, staining and refinishing. This process is expensive, time consuming and inconvenient. It may even require you to move out of your home during the process.

Most wood floors can accept only two or three of the treatments described above over a lifetime. The wood veneer can be sanded away and the floors will need to be replaced. It pays to maintain your floors.

Our system is completely dust free. You will not be cleaning up our dust months later as is the case with the sanding process.

Our system is odorless, non toxic and dries in about an hour. You can walk on the floor in your stockings at that time. Furniture may be moved back in 4 hours and rugs after 12 hours. Don't allow shoes on the floor for the first 24 hours. After that, your new finish is hardened and ready for normal use.

Hardwood Floor Care
As recommended by the National Wood Floor Association

Use dirt trapping walk-off mats to all exterior doors.

Strong sunlight can cause fading of wood and wood stain. To avoid uneven appearance move area rugs occasionally and drape or shade large windows to avoid direct sunlight on the wood.

Apply fabric-faced glides to the legs of your furniture.

Vacuum or dust your wood floor as often as you vacuum your carpet.

Wipe up food and other spills immediately with a damp (not wet) cloth. Standing moisture can damage poorly finished floors.

Avoid soaps. They can build up and create problems. For cleaning use cleaners, that are specifically formulated for wood floors like the Bridgepoint Wood cleaner.

We recommend using Florguards when moving appliances. Florguards will prevent damage to your floors from sharp edges an even the weight of the appliance. A heavy refrigerator can leave indentations in some floors.
