Frequently Asked Questions

 

Many residential projects can be completed in a few hours. The actual time depends on the size of the area, its condition, and whether grout repairs, caulking replacement, or other restoration work is needed.

We can provide a more accurate time estimate once we understand the scope of the project.

Q. Why is it important to have my Tile & Grout floor sealed?

A. Sealing your Tile & Grout floor, (and walls,) is the only way to protect your investment from water-based and oil-based stains.  A sealer prevents a spill from penetrating into the porous surface of the floor, and gives you time to clean it up.  And clean-ups are a snap!  Simply blot fresh spills with a clean cloth or paper towel.  The sealer continues to protect, even after repeated cleanings.

Q. How does a sealer protect my floor?

A. The penetrating sealer is absorbed by the pores of the Natural Stone or Ceramic Tile & Grout.  It fills up the “nooks and crannies” so that wet stains cannot get below the surface, and soil sits on the surface until it is swept or wiped away.

Q. How is a sealer applied?

A. First, the floor is professionally cleaned, neutralized, and fully dried.  Then, the sealer is applied using professional equipment and allowed to soak into the flooring material for five to ten minutes.  Finally, the excess sealer is buffed off the surface and allowed to dry.
