What can be included
- Routine hard-surface floor cleaning
- Stripping and refinishing requests for suitable resilient floors
- Waxing or finish application where appropriate
- Polishing or burnishing requests where appropriate
- High-traffic entry and corridor floor care
- Residential or commercial floor-care requests
The final task list should be agreed before service. Material limits, safety, access and property condition can change what is appropriate.
When hard floor care is a good fit
- A commercial floor has lost gloss or shows traffic lanes
- Winter salt and grit are affecting entrances and corridors
- A suitable resilient floor needs old finish removed and renewed
- A property needs periodic floor maintenance beyond routine mopping
Burlington-area considerations
Road salt, sand and grit are common winter floor-care problems in Vermont. Grit can dull finishes and salt residue can leave visible film. Entry matting and routine soil removal help, but some floors eventually need periodic restorative care. The correct process depends on the finish and manufacturer guidance.
What affects the estimate
- Floor material
- Existing coating or finish
- Square footage
- Current wear and soil level
- Furniture and access
- Desired finish and maintenance plan
