Terra-Cotta Floors in Newly Purchased House Were Revamped Thanks to Our Wilton Hard Surface Restoration Services

August 31, 2021

A resident from Wilton, CT, had recently purchased a house. The property had everything she wanted, but there was a problem with the terra-cotta floor. The surface looked dirty and damaged. She was not happy with the condition of the floor, so she decided to move and find a solution later. Shortly after settling into her home, she decided to look for a professional hard surface restoration company. Thankfully, she found Sir Grout and we helped solve her problem.


The owner heard about us when she called one of her friends and asked for advice. He was a loyal Sir Grout of Greater Fairfield County client and immediately recommended our Wilton Hard Surface Restoration Services, saying we had done a wonderful job revamping his marble countertops. The owner followed his suggestion and went online to learn more about us on our website. After thoroughly browsing our picture gallery, and reading testimonials from our satisfied customers, she asked for a free assessment by filling out the "Request a Quote" form.

As the owner had requested, we visited her house to provide the in-home consultation. We noticed the problems as soon as we began the inspection. The terra-cotta tiles looked shabby and they had an unsightly appearance. As a result, the entire floor looked run-down. We also learned the surface was unsealed. It was necessary to address this problem because it was exposed to absorb dirt, grime, and other external agents, which can lead to more degradation and damages.

Upon reaching a conclusion, we offered a solution. Since regular cleaning methods wouldn't be effective, the restoration would require Sir Grout's professional process and top-of-the-line equipment. We offered our hard surface restoration services to address all the problems, improve the surface with an enhanced look, and give the floor a complete makeover. The offer met the owner's expectations, so she hired us for the job without wasting any time.

A couple of days after we performed the assessment, we returned to begin the job. The restoration is a multi-step procedure and we started by cleaning the surface using our exclusive cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. Our product won't cause any damage to the tiles or grout because it's made only with top-quality ingredients. It doesn't leave a residue and offers many other benefits. After that, we disinfected and deodorized the surface. When the terra-cotta floor was completely clean, it was time to begin the sealing process. 

To ensure long-lasting protection, we applied a coating of protective sealer. Sir Grout's top-of-the-line sealers have a highly durable composition and provide an unmatched defense. Our products ward off dirt, grime, and other external agents, reducing deterioration and making cleaning routines easy and fast. Sealed surfaces also receive a complete overhaul with an enhanced finish. For this project, we used a satin finish to match the tiles. The process yielded the results we expected and the restoration had been successful. Our work gave the terra-cotta floor a beautiful new look and completely revamped the surface.

With our goal achieved, we called our client and showed her the results. After seeing the floor, the owner was in awe. She loved the renewed appearance of the terra-cotta tiles. Before we left, she said our performance surpassed all her expectations, and she assured us she would recommend Sir Grout of Greater Fairfield County to everyone.

Tiled surfaces subjected to heavy wear and tear can deteriorate quickly. For this reason, floors that receive constant foot traffic require proper maintenance and care. To keep these difficult areas in top condition, it's essential to follow Sir Grout's recommendations. We suggest setting up a weekly cleaning routine to prevent the accumulation of dirt. To prevent damages, perform this chore using only pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product is soap-free and provides excellent results. It is also non-toxic and safe for everyone in the house, including pets. 

We don't recommend using soap-based cleaners or substances with acidic properties. These products contain agents that can harm the surface and leave a foam that seeps into the grout. When applying the cleaning solution, use a clean mop and let the floor dry completely before entering the room again. Avoid cleaning the floor with abrasive tools because they can leave scratches. While cleaning the area, make sure to keep children and pets away from the wet surface. 

Giving your old floor a new look doesn't have to be an impossible task.
