Give Dull Floors New Life

With Top Industry Professionals in Orlando


All flooring requires maintenance to continue looking nice, especially hardwood floors. But even if you take great care of your hardwood floors, they may lose their sheen over time. Whether your hardwood floors are starting to look dull or you’re just looking for tips to prevent them from becoming dull, you’ve come to the right place.

Protect and Maintain

So how do you fix a dull floor in Orlando? Preventing damage is the first step. Here are some ideas for protecting your hardwood floors:

  • Protect them from sunlight. Hardwood floors are sensitive to sunlight. Areas where your floors are exposed to sun will likely fade over time. You can avoid some of this impact with help from throw rugs, blinds or curtains. For an even longer–term solution, consider strategically planting trees or bushes to give your home a bit more shade. You could also install UV–resistant or tinted windows.
  • Remove shoes. High heels are particularly good at scratching through hardwood finishes. Pet nails can also be damaging, so keep pet nails trimmed to protect your floors.
  • Clean the right way. First, sweep or vacuum your floors before applying a wet mop to remove any grit. Then make sure you're using the right cleaner. Products you use on other floorings may strip your floors of their finishes and harm the wood rather than clean it. Finally, don't overdo it on the cleaner—using too much cleaner, even if it's meant for hardwood floors, can make them look dull.

With careful maintenance and attention, a little can go a long way in preserving the beauty of your hardwood flooring.

Refinish and Repair


Unfortunately, protection and maintenance aren't always the answer to how do you fix a dull floor. Even the best–kept floors will likely need special attention over time. When cleaning no longer gets the job done, your floors may need to be refinished or repaired.

Refinish

Refinishing helps give your floors a new life and goes a long way to prevent damage that is far more expensive to repair. The process involves sanding away imperfections and applying a new finish. Although it sounds simple, many things can go wrong during refinishing. You may sand one part of the floor too much, damaging it and making it look uneven, or improperly apply a finish.

Repair

More extensive damage to floors, such as deep gouges, cannot simply be refinished. Instead, they may require either repair or replacement.

Responsive and professional. Perfect job fixing the floor. One cannot tell there is any patching done.
Madelyn Kahana 04/22/24 — google
What an awesome experience. Floyd and his team showed up and completed the job ahead of schedule. Thanks again
D Whelan 04/19/24 — google
Floyd and his team did an excellent job and is easy to work with as changes happen. I highly recommend him and his company!
Alan Crudo 04/8/24 — google
I have dealt with a lot of contractors and footprint floors is a great example of what they should be like and how business should be ran. First the owner or rep, Floyd, came to my house personally on a couple different occasions to quote out the project and ensure we had everything we needed to be done correctly. He is very friendly, follows up, and seems very honest and had fair pricing. Second, they have the lead installer, Rogerio, and another young guy from Venezuela (forgot his name) who are fantastic at their jobs and maybe the best floorers I’ve come across. I have 3 levels in my townhouse and the areas they did were flawless. The second group that came, not so much. However as I alluded to, they were very professional and didn’t push back at all and Rogerio and Floyd came back to adjust the errors right away. Really impressed with their work and would absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone - which I might just have to because the flooring I bought from a company (Cali floors/don’t recommend) did not look at all like advertised, but a different matter all together .
Justin Richards 03/15/24 — google
I highly recommend Footprints Floors . They are true professionals. Great communication from start to finish. The final product (my newly installed floors) has transformed my home.

Footprints was awesome to work with! Floyd was extremely efficient and communicative! His team, headed by Roger, was also top notch! They finished ahead of time and did a perfect job! Even the furniture was back in place EXACTLY where it belongs! If you need installation, you need FootPrints!!

Professional, efficient, courteous, and clean crew. Highly recommended.
James Fodor 01/2/24 — google
Very smooth process. They are fast, efficient reliable and very professional. Price was very affordable. I am so glad I found Footprints. I've dealt with other companies in the past and my experiences were all horrible (no call, no show, take your money and do not show up).... It was nothing like that with Footprints. I will forever use them and recommend them to anyone. Thank you to Mr. Floyd!

We finally decided to upgrade carpet to wood floors. I am very happy that I contacted Footprint Floors. The experience was professional, and the end result beautiful. I’ve had to deal with a lot of contractors and work being done in my home over the last few months. I worked with Floyd and he made the process as simple as he could from picking out the samples to the timeline for installation. It’s amazing to see them come to your house and in one day transform every room. Everything was done to my satisfaction and at the end of the job I was asked if they could’ve done anything better. I really appreciate that detail and consideration to customer service. I would highly recommend foot print floors to anyone looking to improve their home.
Gina Davison 10/24/23 — google
Wow! That's a single word I used to describe the Fantastic service this company offered. I had been quoted by a bunch of different companies for a bathroom remodel. I loved the way footprints has their business. It left me the freedom to choose and pick the tile and flooring that I wanted. I also had a tub replaced. The company I was going to use to replace the tub, Harrell plumbing, left me hanging. They refuse to call me back. I told Floyd of my issue. He looked at me and said no problem. He pulled out his phone and within 10 hours had another company, Gomez Plumbing, in to replace my tub Gomez Plumbing did an amazing job as well. They were there 13 hours. But that's a review I'm going to leave for them lol. The very next day Floyd's team came in and demoed the tile. They had already scheduled a dumpster company to remove. The dumpster company, world of dumpsters, placed the dumpster perfectly exactly where they needed to. They did a great job not damaging any of my sidewalk or vegetation. Again that's another review for them lol. The tile team came in and did an amazing job. My wife is not easy to please and notices the smallest details. Footprints flooring got such a high standard that even she was pleased. Dare I say she even use the word perfect! I cannot recommend Footprints flooring enough. Use them you will not be disappointed!
Joe Lester 10/20/23 — google
Floyd is the best! Accurate quote for the job. On top of details. Professional quality job. With my highest recommendation
J Bratton 10/4/23 — google
Footprints staff was easy to deal with. They were professional and responsive.
Alexis Van Den Abell 08/28/23 — google
I have had a lot of work done in my 45 year old home and dealt with many companies in the process. Footprints Floors is among best of them, and I am a perfectionist that sees every detail. Footprints Floors showed up on time, and answered e-mails in a timely manner. The quality of their work was excellent and they were quick to finish. They were polite, cleaned up, took the trash with them, and put everything back in place. And their price was the least expensive of the three quotes I got. One company was twice as much for less work because they wanted me to buy all new wood rather than saving and reusing what was still good. I have nothing but praises for Footprints Floors and highly recommend them without hesitation.
Renee Schneider 07/29/23 — google
I worked with Footprints Floors on replacing about 800 sq ft of LVP flooring in my house, and everything about the experience was great! From my initial quote inquiry, Floyd and everyone on his team have been polite, efficient, and exceedingly helpful. The quote I got was right within my budget, and Floyd also adjusted it to account for some demo I did on-site before work started. Rogerio and his crew were so respectful of my home while installing my floors, and they even stayed a bit later than scheduled to get the job done ahead of schedule in just one day! If you’re looking for a reasonably priced professional to help with your flooring installation, I cannot recommend Footprints Floors highly enough!
Rachel Miles 06/28/23 — google
Footprints Floors made the necessary repairs and replaced several boards in our hardwood floor. The floor was refinished 20 years ago and was in need of work. Footprints floors provided great value, great service with quality work.
Jorge Ballesteros 05/13/23 — google
Floyd and Footprints Floors were exceptional in many ways. We found them to be prompt in communication, scheduled easily, efficient and professional on the job. They truly paid attention to detail in refinishing the wood floors of the back porch which we had built in. The floors turned out beautifully, so we immediately asked Floyd for a quote for the front. They are forthright and proceed with integrity. A great experience in every way!
Michael Levin 05/5/23 — google
We had 65 year old floors refinished. The work was done professionally, workers were on time, and floors looked fantastic. Floyd supervised the the work and made sure everything was done to perfection. We could not be happier.
Ann Milburn 05/3/23 — google
Excellent work. Extremely timely and communicative (which has been a struggle when contacting other companies). The owner, Floyd, was there everyday checking on progress and quality. Fair pricing. Also, very clean and precise work. They redid our 1950s home backsplash. I’m thrilled with the outcome. This is the company to go with!
