Our design team creates a detailed plan that includes precise measurements and layouts. We use advanced software to ensure accuracy and provide you with a visual representation of the final result.

Before we begin striping and marking, we ensure that the floor is properly prepared. This includes cleaning, sanding, and priming the surface to ensure optimal adhesion and durability.

Using state-of-the-art equipment and high-quality paints, we apply the markings with precision. Our team follows industry best practices to ensure that all lines are straight, evenly spaced, and compliant with regulations.

6 Tips on How to Care for Your Carpet Tiles
Seasonal Vacuuming Schedule: Vacuum high-traffic areas daily during winter months when salt and snow are tracked in, reducing frequency to 2-3 times weekly during summer. Use a vacuum with adjustable height settings to prevent excessive brush agitation.
Spot Clean Immediately - Address spills promptly using a blotting technique rather than scrubbing, which can damage carpet fibers. For coffee or wine spills, use specialized cleaners available at local Minneapolis suppliers.
Quarterly Deep Cleaning - Schedule professional hot water extraction cleaning every 3-4 months, more frequently in commercial spaces or homes with pets. Choose companies familiar with Minnesota's water conditions for best results.
Rotate Tiles Annually - Once yearly, typically in spring after the snow season, rotate tiles from high to low-traffic areas to ensure even wear patterns and extend the life of your entire installation.
Maintain Proper Humidity - Use humidifiers during dry winter months to prevent carpet fibers from becoming brittle, and dehumidifiers during humid summers to prevent moisture accumulation beneath tiles.
Use Entrance Mats - Place high-quality entrance mats at all exterior doors to capture road salt, snow, and debris. Clean these mats regularly, especially during winter months when corrosive deicing chemicals are common on Minneapolis streets and sidewalks.
