Hardwood Floor Cleaning in Pearsall, TX
Two companies can quote the same Pearsall house and be four hundred square feet apart, and both of them measured honestly.
Wood floor work is priced by area, so the number that decides your bill is a measurement somebody took. What almost nobody explains is that there is no single convention for what gets counted.
That is where quotes diverge, and it is worth knowing how we count before you compare us against anybody else.
What We Count and What We Leave Out
We measure the wood we are going to treat. That includes the floor under furniture we will move and put back, and it includes closets if you want them done. It excludes anything permanently fixed to the floor, so kitchen islands, built-in cabinetry, a hearth, and a staircase footprint all come out of the number. Stairs are measured and priced separately as treads and risers, because they are hand work and take four or five times as long per square foot as open floor.
The Furniture Question, Answered Before the Quote
If a room is quoted at its full area and then the crew works around a sectional and a bookcase that never moved, you paid for floor that did not get cleaned. We do it the other way. At the walk-through we agree what is moving and what is staying, the measurement follows that agreement, and the number on the quote matches the work. A house full of heavy antiques is a smaller number, not a bigger one, and that surprises people.
Why a Phone Quote Is a Guess
Nobody can price this from a description, because the condition of a floor changes how long it takes as much as its size does. A room with a decade of acrylic build-up takes twice as long as an identical room without. A floor with a thin or failing finish needs a different approach again. Anybody quoting a firm price on a wood floor over the phone is either padding heavily to cover themselves or planning to revise it when they arrive.
What Is Not in the Number at All
Our quote covers cleaning and a maintenance coat. It does not cover repairs, board replacement, filling gaps, fixing squeaks, or anything to do with sanding. Sanding, re-staining, and recoating are priced by other companies because they are other companies' work. Nor does it promise to remove things that cannot be removed, which means gouges, worn-through lanes, dark staining, cupping, and separated veneer. Those get identified at the estimate and named out loud, so there is no argument later.
Not sure whether your floor needs cleaning or refinishing? There are three tests you can run yourself in about a minute, and they will tell you which one you are dealing with before anyone quotes you.

Hardwood questions from Pearsall homeowners
Is there a minimum charge for a small job?
Yes, since a crew and a truck arriving is most of the cost on a small job. It is worth asking about combining rooms into one visit.
Do you charge extra to come out to Frio County?
We route this area on set days to keep it economical. Ask when you call and we will tell you the next one.
Can the price change after you start?
Only if you add rooms. What we quote after seeing the floor is what you pay.
Do you take the fifty dollars off before or after the minimum?
Off the total, on a first cleaning. It is a straightforward discount and there is nothing hidden in it.
