Both jobs were sensible humans who would not pay the $10. 00 foot to strip it down to bare bones, thanks gawd.


clean and re-coat for $2 a foot.



good enough for normal human who enjoy patina

No efflouressence? (sp)

That's cool.

mind if i ask what detergent you use and what product you recommend for re-coat?

Thanks!

Amy neutral cleaner will do.

Any vct finish will do.


Too much heat, pressure or alkalinity and you start to remove the topcoat.

How did you like the results on these two?

Mike that looks really good. Saltillo jobs can be challenging especially if you have to strip and recoat. Man what a job that is. I did one last year. Used viper but it would not get the mop and glo up. I had to strip. It turned out really good. I applied a sealer via pump sprayer and then coated with finish. Unfortunately I tried another on later in the year and it turned out really bad. I definitely learned from my mistakes mainly that a lot of prep work and taping off is needed.

No stripping on either. $2.00 to clean and recoat.

$10.00 + for strip and coat.

Yea I did 400 sq ft for 1200 dollars. It turned out fabulous too! Ron Lipold gave me some advice. I got lucky because I did very little prep work. Next job I ruined cabinets and had to pay to have them repainted and damaged a hard wood floor. The stripper ate everything up. I learned the hard way on that job. Now I charge a fee for prep work and a separate price for the work. I am surprised at how well that floor turned out with neutral cleaner. Awesome job.

Mikey, I know this is an old post but I just wanted to see why you prefer the brush pro over a rotary on tile?

Also can you recoat if part of the old coating is damagee and come off, or would you need to strip the whole thing at that point?

 

[Mikey P]

No splashing.


You can fill the void, sure but the low spot will be stained and never look the same.
