What techniques or tools have you found most effective for restoring heavily damaged or neglected floors?

Hardwood Floors Techniques:

Drum/Orbital Sanding → Deep sanding to remove scratches, stains, and worn finishes.

Progressive Grit Sanding → Start coarse (36–40 grit), move up to fine (100–120+ grit).

Stain & Seal → Oil-based polyurethane for durability, or water-based for faster drying.

Tile & Grout Floors Techniques:

Hot Water Extraction (HWE) → Similar to carpet cleaning, blasts dirt out of grout.

Rotary Scrubbing → Agitates deep grime with a brush head.

Grout Sealing → Prevents future staining.

Natural Stone (Marble, Granite, Travertine, etc.) Techniques:

Grinding & Honing → Diamond abrasives to flatten uneven surfaces.

Polishing Compounds → Powders or pastes to restore shine.

Impregnating Sealers → Protects stone from moisture and etching.

Concrete Floors Techniques:

Surface Prep → Remove coatings with shot blasting or grinding.

Diamond Polishing → Gradual grit progression to glossy finish.

Staining or Epoxy Coating → Adds color, protection, and durability

Carpeted Floors (heavily soiled/neglected) Techniques:

Hot Water Extraction (steam cleaning) with pre-spray & agitation.

Encapsulation cleaning for maintenance after deep clean.

Sub-surface extraction for pet damage or deep stains.

Universal Restoration Tips

Testimonials

Jeff E.

Homeowner in Austin, TX

"I’ve hired a lot of contractors over the years, but none have come close to the quality and professionalism of the team trained by Mark Markovic. The results from Turbo-Seal on my floors were jaw-dropping — my wife and I literally couldn’t believe how good they looked. It’s clear the training Mark provides is on another level. You can tell when someone knows their craft, and this crew was sharp, skilled, and efficient. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for serious results."

Floor Restoration Specialist

"Getting trained by Mark Markovic was hands-down one of the smartest decisions I’ve ever made for my business. The education I received on Turbo-Seal completely elevated the way I restore floors — my clients are constantly blown away by the results and how brand-new everything looks. Mark didn’t just teach me the product, he taught me how to think like an expert. I’m making more money, closing more jobs, and finally feel confident charging what I’m worth. The training fee? Worth every penny — and then some."
