Hard-floor care for homes and commercial premises across Maine and NH.

Floor care

A trade of its own,
not a vacuum pass.

Floor care is where this company is genuinely different from the average cleaning service, and it is worth being clear about why. Vacuuming and mopping are maintenance: they remove what is loose and what is on top. Floor care is restoration, and it is a different skill with different machines. On a commercial hard floor, what actually takes the traffic is not the tile but the layers of finish sitting on it, and after a couple of years that finish dulls, greys and collects scuffs and black marks that no amount of mopping will reach, because the damage is in the coating rather than on it. Putting that right means taking the old finish off, cleaning the floor back, and building fresh coats up again. On a residential floor it means treating wood, tile and vinyl as the different materials they are rather than running one mop and one product over all of them. Nathaniel Perham describes himself, in his own words on his own site, as a specialist in floor care. Most house cleaners will not take this work on at all, which is precisely why offices, shops and function rooms keep a contractor who will.

Floor Care questions

Floor Care in Kittery,
answered.

What is floor care, as opposed to mopping?

Mopping moves dirt around a sealed surface. Floor care is the maintenance of the surface itself: proper cleaning, scrubbing and treating of hard floors so they last and look right. Nathaniel Perham describes himself as a floor-care specialist, and it is the service commercial clients most often keep him for.

Which floor types do you work on?

Hard floors in homes and businesses, including tile, vinyl and sealed floors. Say what you have when you call; every floor is looked at before it is quoted, so there is no guessing on the phone.

How is floor care priced?

On the premises. Square footage, the condition of the floor and what it needs decide the price, so Nate looks first and quotes second. There is no charge for the visit.

Do you do floor care for houses, or only businesses?

Both. Homes with tile and hard floors in Kittery, York and across the Seacoast book it as a one-off, and offices and retail spaces in Portsmouth, Dover and along Route 1 tend to put it on a schedule.

Can floor care be combined with regular cleaning?

Yes. Recurring house or office cleaning covers the routine sweeping and mopping, and periodic floor care is added when the floor needs more than that. One contractor for both.

One contractor.

One team, every detail.

What Perham actually does

Four jobs,
one contractor.

Most house cleaners do not touch floor care, and most floor-care outfits do not clean houses. Nathaniel Perham does both, plus the glass.

Homes

Room by room, weekly, bi-weekly or one-time. Beds remade, floors washed by hand, trash out.

Offices

Desks, break rooms, restrooms and floors, on a schedule that fits around your business.

Windows

Glass inside and out, at a published per-window rate. Screens and storms priced separately.

Floors

The specialism. Nathaniel Perham describes himself as “a specialist in floor care”, a different trade from vacuuming.

How it works

How the
scheduling works.

Perham publishes how they schedule, which is more than most cleaning companies will put in writing. It is reproduced here as they state it.

Call (207) 994-4472 and say what you need: a house on a schedule, an office, windows, floors, or a one-time clean. House cleaning is priced by the bedroom on their published list.

You get a three-hour window

They book in three-hour arrival windows rather than promising an exact time, and they text when they are leaving for your home or office. Days are booked on your preference plus one, in case of conflicts.

It settles into a routine

Once you are on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule, the day and time mostly stay the same. New clients are asked for a 50% deposit on the first cleaning, with payment due at the time of service.

If something is missed

Their own stated policy: if you are not happy with the service they will come back and fix it at no cost within 48 hours. Their words: “We are human and things do sometimes get missed but we will always make it back to fix it.”
