Give Dull Floors New Life

With Top Industry Professionals in Memphis


All flooring requires maintenance to continue looking nice, especially hardwood floors. But even if you take great care of your hardwood floors, they may lose their sheen over time. Whether your hardwood floors are starting to look dull or you’re just looking for tips to prevent them from becoming dull, you’ve come to the right place.

Protect and Maintain

So how do you fix a dull floor in Memphis? Preventing damage is the first step. Here are some ideas for protecting your hardwood floors:

  • Protect them from sunlight. Hardwood floors are sensitive to sunlight. Areas where your floors are exposed to sun will likely fade over time. You can avoid some of this impact with help from throw rugs, blinds or curtains. For an even longer–term solution, consider strategically planting trees or bushes to give your home a bit more shade. You could also install UV–resistant or tinted windows.
  • Remove shoes. High heels are particularly good at scratching through hardwood finishes. Pet nails can also be damaging, so keep pet nails trimmed to protect your floors.
  • Clean the right way. First, sweep or vacuum your floors before applying a wet mop to remove any grit. Then make sure you're using the right cleaner. Products you use on other floorings may strip your floors of their finishes and harm the wood rather than clean it. Finally, don't overdo it on the cleaner—using too much cleaner, even if it's meant for hardwood floors, can make them look dull.

With careful maintenance and attention, a little can go a long way in preserving the beauty of your hardwood flooring.

Refinish and Repair


Unfortunately, protection and maintenance aren't always the answer to how do you fix a dull floor. Even the best–kept floors will likely need special attention over time. When cleaning no longer gets the job done, your floors may need to be refinished or repaired.

Refinish

Refinishing helps give your floors a new life and goes a long way to prevent damage that is far more expensive to repair. The process involves sanding away imperfections and applying a new finish. Although it sounds simple, many things can go wrong during refinishing. You may sand one part of the floor too much, damaging it and making it look uneven, or improperly apply a finish.

Repair

More extensive damage to floors, such as deep gouges, cannot simply be refinished. Instead, they may require either repair or replacement.

My wife and I are very pleased with the service we received from Footprints of Memphis. They made an in-house inspection of the damaged tiles on the floor of our shower. We were given a detail list of the materials needed to complete the repairs and a price quote for the installation. The project was completed within their estimated timeframe. We highly recommend Footprints of Memphis because of their quality workmanship. Jerome & Willie Mae

I am very pleased with the installation of my Floresta Verde Hexagon Porcelain Mosaic tile and my Swiss Madison One-Piece Toilet by FOOTPRINTS floors. The floor looks so AMAZING that I can't stop talking about it! What I like about this company is that I was told exactly what to expect throughout the entire process. They even picked up the tile from the store. The installation was completed in a short amount of time and done in a professional manner. This was my first time using this company and I definitely will use them again for other projects in my home. I give them a "Thumbs up". A very satisfied customer! :-) Thank you, Jeff Harris, for giving me the floor I always wanted!

Jeff and Alex redid our backsplash for a kitchen refresh. They were always courteous and professional, and very understanding when we had difficulty in scheduling other aspects of the rebuild. The end result was very clean and looks great; it was exactly what we were wanting.

Jeff Harris and Alex at Footprints Floors did an incredible job installing my backsplash in my kitchen! Jeff was so helpful along the way, and the job was done quickly and perfectly by Alex. Jeff’s communication and prices were great, and I will be using them in the future for the rest of the projects in my house! I could not have asked for a better experience.
Sophie Wood 02/28/24 — google
I had a chance encounter with Jeff here recently over a year after his previous work on my home had been done and shared an issue that came up with my floors. Because customer satisfaction is his top priority, he came by my home to get a feel for what I had going on. Within 3 days of visiting my home, he had his crew out to complete a screen and coat job that had me good as new. In my opinion, Jeff didn’t owe me that. But pride in their work and his passion for customer satisfaction made it happen. I’d recommend Footprints Floors to anyone.
Michael 02/27/24 — google
I can not say enough good things about footprints floors. Jeff (and Frank) went above and beyond for us in our airbnb and as the scope of the job changed they were so helpful and accommodating. They did great work and take pride in the finished product. Jeff was on top of the communication throughout the whole process, which we appreciated as we were not on site. He even helped manage other trades coming in and worked well/around them as needed. We will definitely use them again if we need flooring done and highly reccomend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jeff Harris, owner of Footprints Floors of Memphis, was a real blessing to us recently when he fixed a mess made by another contractor. Mr. Harris answered my initial call within a few rings and communicated regularly throughout the backsplash repair. He was obviously knowledgeable about the work that needed to be done and found time in his schedule for quick service. His employee was punctual and did quality work. The price was hundreds of dollars less than another contractor’s bid. Mr. Harris even called us back to see if we were happy with the result, which we are!
Lydia Zuidema 01/5/24 — google

Jeff and his crew did a really great job of refinishing my badly worn white oak flooring in my den. He was quick to respond to any questions and followed up on every stage of the job. Ask him to see my "before and after" pictures. You'll be amazed!
Aaron Foster 12/7/23 — google
I chose Jeff Harris with Footprints Flooring to install my flooring for living room, dining room, and kitchen. There was conflicting information on how to install the flooring. Jeff made a second visit to my home. He was courteous and assured me on the installation. His team arrived on time, did their job without a lot of noise. Cleaned up all the debris and left my home with my new floor in tact. I'm recommending Jeff Harris to anyone needing floor work done in their home. Thanks Again Jeff. Mary H Olive Branch, Ms
