Fountain Residential Floor Care & VCT
VCT floors in Fountain homes need deep cleaning and protection against El Paso County dust and military-area grit.
How We Clean and Restore Your VCT Floors
VCT (vinyl composite tile) floors in Fountain homes take a beating. Kids track in dirt off Fountain Mesa Road, military-adjacent grit settles into grout lines, and everyday foot traffic dulls the finish. A stripped, rewaxed floor looks new again—and a proper wax coat protects it for months. We handle the heavy work so you don't have to rent equipment or spend a weekend on your hands and knees.
Our process starts with a thorough vacuum and spot treatment of soiled areas. Then we strip the old wax using commercial-grade solution, scrub the tile and grout with an orbital machine, and rinse completely. Once dry, we apply a durable wax finish in even coats. The whole job—whether it's a kitchen, hallway, basement, or garage—is timed to keep disruption minimal in your home.
We've worked on homes throughout El Paso County south of I-25, including properties near Link Road and in the Widefield area. Every floor is different: some need one coat, others need two. We inspect as we go and adjust to make sure your VCT looks and feels restored, not just surface-cleaned.
What We Inspect Before We Start
Before any scrubbing or waxing, we walk the floor and check for damage—cracked tiles, lifted seams, water damage underneath, or stains that won't come out. If we spot a tile that's beyond cleaning, we'll tell you upfront. We also assess grout condition and any adhesive issues, especially in older Fountain homes where foundation settling can shift floors. This inspection protects your investment and sets realistic expectations.
We ask about your floor's history: pets, spills, previous wax buildup, and foot traffic patterns. High-traffic zones (entryways, kitchens) may need stronger wax or more frequent maintenance. Basements and garages with moisture exposure need different treatment than dry living spaces. Once we understand your home's specific needs, we build a plan that works for your lifestyle.
Use this checklist to know what to expect when Restoration King restores your VCT floors.
- Clear furniture and personal items from the work area before our arrival
- Vacuum loose dirt and debris (we'll deep-clean, but less prep work means faster service)
- Let us know about any pet stains, spills, or stubborn marks so we can pre-treat
- Identify high-traffic zones where you want extra wax protection
- Check for cracked or loose tiles and point them out before we begin
- Ensure we have clear access to water and power in your home
- Keep pets and children away during the stripping and waxing phase
- Plan for floors to be wet/slippery during application—stay off for 2–4 hours minimum
- Note any grout discoloration or staining you want us to focus on
- Confirm the room temperature is stable (extreme cold or heat affects wax cure)
- Schedule service on a day when traffic can be reduced (weekday ideal for families)
- Ask us about post-care: how long before you can walk on floors, when to avoid water, maintenance tips
Our crew will guide you through each step on the day of service. Questions before we arrive? Call (719) 282-0997.

Fountain Residential Floor Care & VCT FAQ
How long does a full VCT floor strip and wax take?
A typical kitchen or hallway takes 4–6 hours. Larger areas like basement floors or whole-home projects may take a day or more. We'll give you a time estimate during the inspection. Plan on keeping the area clear for at least 2–4 hours after we finish so the wax can cure.
Can you restore floors with pet stains or old spills?
Yes. Deep scrubbing and stripping often lift stains that won't come out with household cleaning. Some stains are permanent (dye or chemical set into the tile), and we'll tell you honestly if that's the case. A fresh wax layer will seal and protect against new spills.
Do you service homes throughout Fountain and El Paso County?
We do. We serve Fountain, nearby areas around I-25, Fort Carson corridor, and Widefield. If you're unsure whether we reach your location, call (719) 282-0997 and we'll confirm.
What's the best way to maintain floors after you finish?
Vacuum or dry-sweep weekly. Avoid excess water—damp-mop only when needed with pH-neutral cleaner. Wax will eventually wear in high-traffic zones. Most homeowners recoat annually or every 18 months. We can set up maintenance reminders if you'd like.
My basement floor has a musty smell and old wax buildup. Can you help?
Absolutely. Basement moisture and layered old wax are common in Fountain homes. We strip away buildup, assess moisture underneath, and apply wax. If there's a moisture problem, we may recommend a dehumidifier or sealant. We'll be honest about what we can fix through cleaning versus what needs a separate solution.
What if we find cracked or loose tiles during inspection?
We'll point them out and let you decide. Replacement is separate from floor care, but we can connect you with a tile contractor if needed. In the meantime, we'll work around problem areas and can seal edges to prevent further damage.
