For builders, architects and facility managers. Most flooring failures are decided on paper: the wrong surface for the traffic, no plan for its care, a cleaning contract nobody checked. We catch those before day one, while changing them still costs nothing.
A lobby carpet rated for an office hallway is worn through in two years instead of ten.
The cleaning method in the contract isn't the one the manufacturer requires.
Cleaned too often where nobody walks, not often enough where everybody does.
After twenty years of cleaning commercial floors, we've seen which surfaces hold up in which buildings, and which ones never had a chance. That's the view we bring to your plans, before the order goes in.
A $200,000 carpet, six months in
A 100,000 sq ft assisted living residence installed more than $200,000 of nylon carpet. Within six months it looked horrible and was wearing out, because it was being maintained the wrong way.
We changed their maintenance procedures and set up a plan for regular professional cleaning. We kept that carpet going for ten years, and it still looked fantastic. The owner saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in replacement costs.

Our findings, in order, with what to change.
With a care plan and budget you can trust.
A contract that didn't fit
We care for large religious buildings whose maintenance plan called for deep cleaning twice a year. We changed it to add monthly interim cleaning in the heaviest traffic lanes, which ultimately helped the whole building.
The full life you paid for, not half of it.
Care costs planned per area, per year.
Paying for the cleaning the building needs.
Homeowners get sold surfaces that weren't made for the way they live. Once they're in, there's often no fix short of replacing them.
