Before-local museum wood floor cleaned & restored by us without sanding

How do you restore wood floors without sanding?  This is another process developed by us that employs special resins to clean and restore your wood floors without sanding. In most cases, it’s highly effective in removing light pet stains, water marks, discolorations and light to medium scratches. Plus it's absolutely, positively guaranteed not to peel, crack or chip for as long as you own your wood floor!

Does your process work on all wood floors? No. Our process will not work if your wood floors have stain missing, bare wood showing, severe large black or gray areas of discoloration from pet urine, water damage and plant stains.

 Also, our process will not address very deep scratches and significant differences in wood tone from the sides of your room compared to the center. In most cases, even sanding will not remedy some of these problems.

Many times, new boards will have to be fashioned by a carpenter and the whole job will need to be re-sanded, stained and re-urethaned.

How long does your wood process take?  Depending on the size of the area involved, it can take a few hours to a whole day.

What are the benefits of your wood process compared to sanding?  Since our exclusive process does not employ sanding , chemical abrasion  or the use of polyurethane, we absolutely guarantee you no dust or fumes whatsoever.

And unlike some un-proven methods that take 24 to 72 hours to cure, our time tested system can be applied over previously waxed wood floors, and  no furniture needs to be moved out of the room.

In addition, our process dries instantly and you can walk on your floors as soon as we are done.

Plus the cost of our process is 600% less than sanding, and we absolutely positively guarantee you it will not peel off, become cloudy, blotch , streak, chip or peel for as long as you own your floor.

 And unlike some processes, we do not use acrylic polymer waxes that will ruin your wood floors. So you save time, money and big hassles.

  How To Choose A Wood Flooring Contractor

When choosing a wood flooring contractor, you should make sure they have at least 20 years experience with wood floors.

And it wouldn't hurt to check their reputation with the Better Business Bureau or the consumer affairs division  of your state attorney general's office.

 They should also be able to provide you with at least 50 real and current references.  Also, the contractor should be willing to restore a small test area of your wood floor to for free to  guarantee your complete satisfaction. 

 What Type Of Wood Flooring Contractors To Avoid

 You should avoid contractors who state that if their process turns your wood floors cloudy, or if they blotch or peel, within five years, they will only re-finish the area in question. That means that their process will only hold up 5 years. Whereas a professional sand and finish job will last 20 to 30 years or more with proper care.  

So do your homework and choose your contractor carefully.      

Beware Of Contract "Weasel" Clauses

 Even though some  franchises offer a written guarantee, you should read it carefully for "weasel" clauses before you hand over your money.

  For instance, one franchise that offers a written warranty states that its up to the local franchisee to make good on the warranty and not the mother company.

The warranty also states that the company will not pay for alternative methods like sanding to correct your peeling, blotching, cracking and chipping. In addition, keep away from companies that require you to only use their floor cleaning product to maintain your short-lived five year warranty. 

If you fail to buy and use their house brand product for 5 years, they can wiggle out of the warranty.  

If  the local franchisee is incompetent, goes out of business, or looses the franchise, you're out of luck!

Why You Should Not  Rely  100% On Commercial  References             

 Also, beware of companies that list a lot of commercial references but very few consumer references.

 Reason? Commercial customers are always  more concerned with the lowest price rather than the quality or longevity of the work performed.

Also, some high profile commercial customers will barter their goods or services for contracting work. Others will have work performed for free in exchange for giving the flooring contractor a glowing reference. 

When companies  make outrageous claims about their no sanding process,  you should always demand at least 10 to 20 consumer references with phone numbers  in your backyard. Avoid companies that list glowing references from franchisees from all over the nation. These references do not reflect what's going on in your neck of the woods. 

 Check those references carefully.

 After - no-wax vinyl floor cleaned  and restored by us

To maintain no wax, vinyl floors and most stone floors never use any kind of ammonia, bleach, vinegar or any supermarket cleaners, disinfectants or waxes. Just use a few squirts of any gentle dishwashing liquid that is kind to your hands. Apply with a mop and rinse with clean water.

On wood floors, never use any type of oil soap product or products that contain water. The safest way to maintain any wood floor is to use a dry mop that uses electrostatically charged disposable heads.
