Careful preparation is what separates a durable professional finish from a quick cosmetic shine. These images show real True Clean projects in progress.

Mechanical screening creates a properly prepared, uniform surface for the new finish.

Edges, built-ins, corners, and transitions receive careful hands-on attention.

Mechanical screening evenly abrades the existing finish so the new protective coat can bond properly without unnecessary full sanding.

Robert applies the finish in controlled passes, maintaining a consistent wet edge for smooth, even coverage across the hardwood.

This floor-level view shows the fresh coating being spread evenly across the boards for a uniform professional finish.

Working section by section helps create consistent coverage, a clean wet edge, and a smooth renewed surface from wall to wall.

This view shows the contrast between the prepared floor and the freshly coated section as the finish is applied across the room.

The newly applied finish brings back depth, clarity, and rich reflection while protecting the hardwood beneath.
This project video documents the actual restoration process—from damaged finish and sanding to stain application and polyurethane.

Homeowners trust True Clean for honest recommendations, careful craftsmanship, clear communication and beautiful hardwood transformations.
Robert and his sister did a fabulous job on our floor!!! We are in the process of selling our home and wanted refinishing the front door entrance, hallway, and dining room to be one less thing for new owners to have to worry about. I wish I would have taken "before" pictures but it slipped my mind. However, I do have "after" photos which is all that really matters. They were extremely friendly yet, very professional during the whole process. And from start to finish it only took 3 - 3.5 hours. I felt so relieved and extremely happy with our refinished wood floors after the job was complete. You will be absolutely overjoyed with the results of what you hire them to do. I promise!!! Top notch workmanship which is becoming rare in today's business model. I called Robert at the last minute to refinish our floors before Homes.com came to do a video on the house. He was at our home in 4 days. He called following the job to ensure we were happy with the results and we were very pleased. We have to have our carpet upstairs cleaned after the packers and movers are finished. There is no doubt in my mind we will hire Robert and company for that!!! Thank you Robert.
Robert and his crew gave me a most reasonable estimate and worked with me to coordinate a time when the painters and carpenters were finished. He filled cracks in my 100+ year old floors. Sanded stained and sealed all in one day. His work was exceptional and my I am thrilled with the outcome- he also shampooed my stair runner and it looks great. Please give True Clean a try- Robert is a veteran and a great guy to boot! I can’t say enough good things about his work ethic - he knows his stuff!!
Robert responded quickly and thoroughly to help us make a decision about how to treat the hardwood floors of a home purchase. We determined that a deep clean and buff would do the trick and we are VERY pleased with the outcome. Not only do the floors look great but it also created a freshness that provide a great start for our life in our new home.
I had Robert refinish the 125 yr old floors in my apartment that had been covered up in laminate. The floors were quite badly marked with lots of paint splatters with old varnish, and had probably never had any work over the years to preserve them. They came up so well they looked like new! I was so pleased with them I had Robert do the other two apartments as well. Now they are good for many years to come. They look awesome. Robert was super friendly to work with and good with communication of my appointment dates and time. He was very reasonably priced and I am extremely happy with the work. I would highly recommend him and his company and would use again in the future. Have added a few pics too many to add
Robert restored our 10 year old hardwoods and they look amazing! It only took one full day and I was able to get on his schedule very quickly. He is super responsive, professional and pleasant to work with! You won’t be disappointed!
Refinished our oak hardwood floors in livingroom, hall foyer and diningroom. Excellent job, floors came out beautifully! We had some dog scratches we were concerned about, especially in the foyer where an intricate medallion inlay of mixed hardwoods is, it came out beautifully! Thanks to True Clean for a job well done, I doubt any one else could have done the professional job that they did and for a lot less $ than most of our other quotes.
Robert did a wonderful job on my hardwood floors. I was told by another company that they needed to be fully sanded and the cost would have been over $8,000! Robert informed me that sanding was unnecessary and he was right! My floors look AMAZING and it was completed in one day!! Highly recommended!!!
They color corrected the Engineered hardwood floors, screened and sealed the floors. We couldn’t believe how beautiful the floors turned out. Worth every penny. Glad we contacted True Clean Carpet Cleaning for the job!
Robert cleaned and resealed our 70 year old hardwoods. They were in terrible shape when he started and looked great when he left. They truly went above and beyond...worth every dime.
