Unlike typical flooring companies or one-man operations, Footprints Floors isn’t focused on selling you products—we’re dedicated to providing outstanding customer service. Many other companies require you to buy flooring directly from them to use their installation services, limiting your options and potentially guiding you toward choices that may not suit your needs. At Footprints Floors, we install any flooring material you want, regardless of where you purchased it. This approach allows us to remain unbiased and genuinely focused on helping you choose the best solutions for your unique situation. We offer a comprehensive range of services including hardwood installation, wood floor refinishing, tile installations, backsplashes, bathroom remodels, carpet, sheet vinyl, exterior flooring, and more. Because we handle all types of flooring, we’ll never steer you away from refinishing an existing floor or combining different flooring types throughout your home. We have strong relationships with various reputable vendors such as Floor and Decor, ProSource, Shaw, Coretec, and others. This means we can assist you in sourcing materials at discounted prices, and we even offer pick-up and delivery directly to your home, further simplifying your project. Our commitment extends beyond just installation. My production manager visits your job site daily to ensure quality standards are consistently met. We’re dedicated to completing your project efficiently, showing up every day—including weekends—until the job is done to your satisfaction. In short, at Footprints Floors, we’re not just in the flooring business; we’re in the customer service business, dedicated to making your flooring project smooth and stress-free.

"I had a quote within 2 days. My card was declined by by bank and I had to approve the amount, that was thee only delay I had and it was my fault. I had to make a few adjustments to my order, and I was requoted at least by next day. Shipping confirmation came after the weekend, and I had trim pieces actually arrive before I received my shipping confirmation. Shipping actual flooring to me was curbside, I would have paid a bit more for the company to place in my driveway if given the option. Everything was palletized securely, and everything arrived without defects. Pricing came in better than expected, and better than quotes I received from other companies. Great experience, I will definitely be a returning customer."

Sealing grout delivers excellent value by creating a moisture barrier that prevents water penetration, staining, and deterioration. Unsealed grout becomes a magnet for dirt and moisture, which can lead to discoloration, mold growth, and eventual breakdown of the grout structure. Regular sealing maintenance creates a protective barrier that not only preserves your tile's appearance but also simplifies routine cleaning and extends the overall lifespan of your installation.
When combining professional grout cleaning with sealing services, expect to pay between $3 and $4 per square foot for challenging surfaces like natural stone or heavily soiled areas. This comprehensive approach ensures your grout is thoroughly cleaned before sealer application, maximizing the effectiveness and longevity of the treatment. The cleaning process removes embedded dirt and contaminants that might otherwise become sealed into the grout, providing superior long-term results.
Certain grout formulations, particularly epoxy-based products, come with built-in moisture resistance that eliminates the need for additional sealing. These specialized grouts naturally repel water and resist staining without supplemental treatment.
Additionally, if your existing grout still demonstrates good water-beading properties from previous sealing, immediate reapplication may be unnecessary. Professional contractors evaluate your specific grout type, condition, and location before making recommendations about sealing requirements.
An average DIY grout sealing project for a 160-square-foot area requires about three hours, though this timeline can extend significantly for first-time applicators or challenging spaces. Professional contractors can complete the same area in two to five hours, depending on project complexity and required preparation. The experience gap often shows in application consistency and efficiency, with professionals delivering more uniform coverage in less time than most homeowners can achieve, especially on initial attempts.
