Tile and Grout Cleaning, Sealing and Color Sealing 

WE CAN GET YOUR TILE & GROUT CLEAN AND FRESH ONCE AGAIN

Tile and grout cleaning can be challenging, even for cleaning and janitorial services. We achieve fantastic results with our tile and grout cleaning, because our specialized, professional deep cleaning equipment can accomplish much more than mops and scrub brushes. Plus, we offer grout sealing and grout color sealing services that provide numerous benefits.

We service tile and grout floors, shower walls, tub surrounds, hot tub surrounds, pool decks, table tops, and more in both residential and commercial properties throughout much of Birmingham AL

GROUT CLEANING AND SEALING

Dirt, mold, and grime on the surface of grout and tile can be eliminated with regular cleaning, however, if these contaminants are under the grout surface, cleaning will only drive the unwanted substances in further. Our highly trained technicians extract deeply embedded contaminants and use nonabrasive yet effective methods for a deep-down clean.

After your tile and grout is deep cleaned and sanitized, take advantage of our grout sealing services. We use the highest quality grout sealer available for the best protection. Grout sealer is absorbed into the porous surface, filling in the tiny holes where contaminants collect. It leaves your floor with a clean and fresh look that is much easier to maintain.

GROUT COLOR SEALING

If your grout has permanent stains, a blotchy appearance, or discolorations due to problems in the grout curing process or traffic patterns, grout color sealing may be the solution you are looking for. With our grout color sealing services, we can match your existing color, or we can change the color of your grout to any color you want and give your floors a completely different look.
 
Color sealing actually prevents staining, a very common grout problem. With constant-acting mildewcides and fungicides, your grout stays cleaner and healthier than unsealed or clear sealed grout.

Wood Floor Refurbishing 

COMMERCIAL WOOD FLOORS REJUVENATED

Wood flooring is beautiful. When it is in great condition it creates a stunning backdrop to your environment, but when the finish becomes obscured by contaminants such as dust, soils, air pollution, oils, and mop residue, wood flooring can have the complete opposite effect. At Southern Surface Care, we understand that your hardwood flooring is a significant investment and deserves the very best workmanship and care. You can trust our knowledgeable team to dramatically improve the appearance of your hardwood floors. Commercial and hospitality property owners and managers count on us to rejuvenate the floors in their offices, hotels, health care facilities, restaurants, and stores. We provide services throughout much of Birmingham AL.

COMMERCIAL WOOD FLOOR REFURBISHING

Wood floors do not always require sanding and refinishing, which is not only messy and smelly, but also disrupts your normal routine, causing inconvenience to guests, clients, patrons, and staff. Our simple deep cleaning process rejuvenates an existing polyurethane finish. For floors without a sealed polyurethane finish, we can wax and buff. Either way, we’ll leave your wood floors and baseboards in your entries, hallways, and common areas fresh, clean, and beautiful, achieving impressive results at a fraction of the cost and hassle of a full refinishing. 

Floor Care Maintenance Services 

COMMERCIAL FLOOR MAINTENACE.

First impressions matter, especially in commercial and hospitality spaces, such as offices, hotels, health care facilities, restaurants, or stores. Customers or clients walk in, look around, and subconsciously decide how they feel about your business almost immediately, and this impression is heavily influenced by the appearance of your floors and surfaces. Once an opinion is formed, it can be difficult to change. Carefully maintaining the appearance of your floors is of the utmost importance, because they reflect a high standard of professionalism to employees and guests or patrons. We provide customized professional cleaning and maintenance services to commercial properties so they can always create a positive impression.
You can determine the schedule according to your needs, because we offer daily, weekly and monthly service options. We can work during your least-busy hours for minimal disruption to your normal routine. With regularly scheduled services, your space will always look beautifully maintained and inviting. We provide services throughout much of Birmingham AL

OUR GUARANTEE: LIKE-NEW FLOORS AND NO MORE PERIODIC RESTORATION
 
Professionally maintained floors, in many cases, are just re-polished, which looks great at first, but over time this process leaves the floor with shiny scratches and increasingly obvious traffic patterns. As these problems develop, you become more and more dissatisfied with the appearance of the floors until it’s time for another round of professional restoration.

Southern Surface Care guarantees that your floors will always look like new.
Most stone restoration contractors will tell you that your floors will need to be restored every two to three years, depending on the traffic, usage, and care. With our well-planned maintenance program, we guarantee that your floors will always look like new, without the need for periodic restoration, even with heavy traffic and usage.

Quite simply, we have what it takes to make these claims that other contractors cannot make. Our skilled technicians, trained and certified in commercial maintenance processes at The Stone and Tile School, have the knowledge and experience to maintain your natural stone the right way, so you can eliminate the capital expense of restoration and save money.

Another perk is that routine inspections become a cinch when your floors always look like new.

Copper is a base metal that can tarnish, oxidize, or corrode with exposure to moisture. Over time, copper develops a natural patina that some people consider appealing and worth preserving.

More intensive restoration and refinishing processes will remove the natural patina, and give copper a like-new appearance.

Cleaning
