The service
What hardwood & specialty floor cleaning & polish is, what a visit covers and where the line is.
The short answer
Hardwood and specialty floor cleaning is a deep clean of the finish, followed by buffing or polishing to restore sheen. Hardwood & Specialty Floor Cleaning & Polish in Gilroy is booked through pros who cover its 2 ZIP codes, in neighborhoods such as Eagle Ridge, Downtown Gilroy, and Glen Loma Ranch. In Gilroy, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain. Deep scratches, worn-through finish and water damage need a different service, and the pro assesses first.

- Stone honing, re-polishing by diamond abrasives and crack repair. That is a stone restoration specialist.

Before you book hardwood & specialty floor cleaning & polish
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Photograph the floor in raking light
Take a photo from a low angle with light across the boards to show dull patches, scratches and worn areas. Add a close-up of the worst spot.
Stop using steam and oil soaps
Steam mops push water into seams, and oil soaps and many all-in-one cleaners leave a film that makes later polishing harder. Use a barely damp microfiber mop and tell the pro what you used.
Tell the pro the floor type
Solid hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, stone and cork each need a different method. If you have the installation paperwork or the maker label, share it.
Clear the room
Move rugs, small furniture, plants and breakables, and sweep or vacuum with a soft head. Clear floors can be cleaned edge to edge, and pets and kids should stay off until the finish is ready.
Decide what you want to keep
A deep clean and polish restores the finish. Tell the pro if the real goal is hiding deep scratches, which may need a recoat or refinish, so they can advise honestly.
Ask about care and the terms
Ask what to use after the visit, how long to wait before replacing furniture and how the pro handles spots that do not lift. Each pro sets their own terms, shown on their profile.
Say where in Gilroy you are
Add your neighborhood, for example Eagle Ridge, Downtown Gilroy, and Glen Loma Ranch, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.
