Floor care built for San Juan Capistrano homes
San Juan Capistrano has more Spanish and Mission Revival architecture than anywhere else in south county, and that means a lot of saltillo, terracotta, and hand-made tile. These floors are beautiful but soft and porous. Once the original sealer wears through, they soak up dirt and stains, and the color goes flat and blotchy.
We strip worn and yellowed sealers, deep clean the clay, and re-seal with the finish you want, from a natural matte look to a low sheen. We also restore travertine and limestone, clean grout on ceramic and porcelain, and clean and seal courtyards and driveways on the larger properties outside town.
We serve all of San Juan Capistrano, including the Los Rios Historic District, Marbella, San Juan Hills, and the ranch and horse properties along Ortega Highway.

San Juan Capistrano floor care questions
Can you make old saltillo look new again?
In most cases. Stripping the old sealer and deep cleaning brings back much of the original color. Deeply stained or broken pavers may need to be replaced, and we will tell you which ones before we start.
Matte or shiny finish on saltillo?
Either. Many owners of older homes prefer a natural low-sheen look. We can show you samples on your own floor during the free estimate.
Do you work on historic homes?
Yes. We use gentle cleaning methods first and test in a hidden spot before treating original tile.
