Knowing what you need helps keep your floors looking great and working well.

Types of Floors
There are many types of floors:

• Hardwood
• Tile
• Vinyl
• Laminate
• Carpet
• Concrete

Each has good and bad points. Some are soft and warm. Others are strong and easy to clean.

Home vs. Business Needs
In homes, people want comfort and style—like carpet or wood.
In stores or offices, people want floors that last long—like vinyl or sealed concrete.

Fixing Floors
Common Floor Problems
Floors can get:

• Scratches
• Cracks
• Water damage
• Squeaks

Some small problems you can fix yourself. Big ones, like bent boards or broken tiles, need a pro.

When to Call a Pro
Call a pro if your floor:

• Makes you trip
• Looks stained or dull
• Makes odd sounds when walked on

Repair vs. Restore
What’s the Difference?

• Repair means fixing one spot.
• Restore means making the whole floor look new again.

Cost Tip
Repairs cost less short-term.
Restoring costs more now but saves money over time.

Fast Fixes for Emergencies
Flooded basement? Broken tiles in your store?
Some companies fix floors fast to stop more damage.

What is Floor Waxing?
Waxing means adding a shiny layer to your floor. This helps:

Best Floors for Waxing
Only wax vinyl, linoleum, or tile.

Waxing helps floors in busy places look clean and fresh.
It also protects them from wear and tear.
