Hospitality Surface Care Expertise

In hospitality, every surface shapes the guest experience

From the walk up to the entrance to the ballroom and the spa, guests judge your property by what they see and touch. Each of those surfaces wears differently, and guests notice all of them.

Every surface wears differently

Stone dulls in traffic lanes, carpet darkens, elevator metal scratches and grout stains. Each needs its own method and schedule.

Too many vendors, uneven results

Separate contractors for floors, metal and exteriors mean more contracts, more coordination and a property that never looks finished at the same time.

What is hospitality surface care?

It is the restoration and scheduled maintenance of every surface in a hotel's guest-facing areas: stone and terrazzo floors, carpet and rugs, elevator and architectural metal, tile and grout, upholstery, entrances and exteriors. It supplements daily housekeeping with specialized care.

Restore before you replace

Price restoration before replacement

Before approving a renovation line for lobby stone, carpet or metal, ask for a restoration scope on the same surface. Replacement adds material, installation, disposal and closed-off public space. Restoration often avoids all four.

On one historic marble project, SOLID assessed 23,000 square feet of floor. Only about 4% needed repair or replacement; the rest was restored. Read the story or plan ahead with the Hotel Surface Care Budget Planning Guide.

The most sustainable asset is often the one you don't have to replace.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is hospitality surface care?

It is the restoration and scheduled maintenance of every surface in a hotel's guest-facing areas: stone and terrazzo floors, carpet and rugs, elevator and architectural metal, tile and grout, upholstery, entrances and exteriors. It supplements daily housekeeping with specialized care.

Can one provider care for every surface in our hotel?

Yes. SOLID cares for carpet, stone, terrazzo, tile and grout, LVT and resilient floors, metal, upholstery and exteriors under one contract, one invoice and one point of contact.

What do you recommend for hotel carpet care?

Daily vacuuming by your team, plus a frequency-based deep cleaning program set by traffic. SOLID's low-moisture Quantum Lift system uses 80 to 90% less water than extraction, so carpet returns to use sooner.

How do you care for LVT and resilient flooring?

Periodic deep cleaning and finish care set by foot traffic, with high-performance coatings available to keep floors looking right longer and reduce maintenance.

Can SOLID restore tile and grout?

Yes. Services include deep cleaning, polishing, stain removal, sealers, grout repair and grout colorization.

Can you restore elevator doors and other metal?

Yes. SOLID maintains and restores stainless steel, bronze, nickel and other architectural metal, including scratch removal, refinishing and protective coatings.

What fabrics and textiles do you care for?

Upholstered lobby and restaurant seating, lounge furniture and fabric panels, with restorative cleaning that improves appearance.

Will the work disrupt our guests?

No. SOLID schedules work overnight and in low-occupancy periods and works in sections, so public spaces stay open.

What is programmed maintenance?

Programmed maintenance is a planned, frequency-based schedule of surface care, set ahead of time by area and traffic, instead of waiting until something looks worn. It keeps surfaces looking right between restorations, extends their life and makes costs predictable.

Which hospitality programs is SOLID a partner of?

SOLID is a preferred partner of Avendra International, Preferred Hotels & Resorts and Historic Hotels of America. Avendra member properties can work with SOLID through their existing Avendra program.

Can SOLID serve every property in our portfolio?

Yes. SOLID serves hotel portfolios nationwide from 40+ local offices, with company-employed technicians and one standard at every property. Clients can see every visit in our ES4U client portal.

Does SOLID replace our housekeeping team?
