"Spiker pulled stains out of our living room carpet that two other companies couldn't touch. They were on time, friendly, and the carpet looks brand new. Will never use anyone else."
Herald homes share a few common stories: traffic-lane wear by the front door, daily-use sofas, pets that have made themselves comfortable, and tile that's been waiting on a real deep clean.
High-pressure rotary extraction lifts years of grease, soap film and discoloration out of grout lines and tile pores — then a real penetrating sealer locks in the restoration. No color sealing. Spiker arrives from our Galt base typically within 12 minutes — the same crew, the same tile & grout standard, every time.

Color sealing wears off and has to be redone every year for the life of the floor. It's a quick visual fix often used by sellers to dress up a home — but it locks the next owner into permanent maintenance. Spiker uses penetrating sealer that protects the grout without painting over it.
Manmade tile (ceramic and porcelain) is $1.50 per square foot under 2,000 sqft and $1.25 per square foot over 2,000 sqft for cleaning and sealing. Natural stone is quoted after we inspect it, because existing sealants may need to be stripped first.
Natural stone — travertine, marble, slate, limestone — often has prior sealants, color enhancers, or coatings on it. Cleaning and re-sealing over old product doesn't work. The old coating has to be stripped first, which is additional work and additional cost. We can't quote that blind. We inspect, identify what's on the stone, and quote the actual job in front of you.
Yes. We seal grout on ceramic, porcelain, and most natural stone installations. For natural stone surfaces themselves, that's where the inspection-based quote applies.
