Recession Over!

In an article published by the Sunsentinel on Wednesday, September 16, 2009, Bernanke, the Fed Chairman, stated that:
“The worst recession since the 1930’s is probably over… The economy likely is growing now , but that won’t be sufficient to prevent the unemployment rate from rising. From a technical perspective, the recession is very likely over at this point.”
One thing is for sure, the economy is moving again. Unemployment has slowed by half since January, housing prices have started to rise for the first time in three years and American Banks are stabilizing.

White roofs have been getting a lot of attention in recent years in Southern Climates. The New York Times published an article on July 29, 2009 explaining why this is so.
The article opens by telling the story of Jon and Kim Waldrep from Sacramento. It explains that after a long summer workday, they would return home and be met with a wall of heat.
“We’d come home in the summer and the house would be 115 degrees,” said Mr. Waldrep. He or his wife would race to the thermostat Read more…
Why Should I Grind My Floor?
At Colonial Floor Care, we are committed to all aspects of floor care- from the aesthetic to the practical. Many of our blog articles discuss the aesthetic value of our highly specialized grinding techniques.
Today, we will discuss some of the practical benefits of a properly ground terrazzo or concrete floor.
Great Northern Stone published an interesting and useful article that discusses the practical advantages of grinding your floor. It is entitled “Why Should I Grind My Floor?
The article discusses several useful points. They are:
1. A flat floor gives dirt no where to hide -- The ridges and grout lines of an uneven floor allow dirt to hide and give bacteria a home to grow. Automatic scrubbers cannot clean uneven sections of floor perfectly allowing for dirty hard water build up in sections over time that is unsightly and unsanitary.
2. A flat floor gives customers/guest no where to trip! Uneven tiles (known as lippage) make for an unstable foot placement that can cause severe tripping hazards.
3. A flat floor does not damage equipment. When rolling wheels (from suitcases, carts, etc.) across uneven surfaces due to lippage , these wheels became damaged as they smash against the hard stone surfaces from tile to tile. This in turn contributes to the wear and scratching your valuable stone surface by the broken and damaged wheels.
4. A flat floor does not chip and crack. Because there are no unsupported edges (from the lippage) pieces of stone cannot break off when stepped on or as wheels are slapped against them causing prematurely worn floors. The stone pieces that would commonly be left on the floor to be dragged and ground into the rest of the floor (causing scratches and wear) are just simply not there anymore- because it is flat.
At Colonial Floor Care, we take grinding very seriously. We have invested in the very best grinding equipment. Our three stage process culminates in a highly refined, diamond head grind that creates an extremely durable surface with a high gloss shine that are unique because of the quality of the equipment that we use and the highly qualified and well trained restoration technicians who are part of our team.
