When spending money on new construction or a remodel, we put hours into planning, budgeting and choosing our materials. After all, it is a large investment, and we will likely live with our choices for years to come. So why not do all you can to protect that investment?
Rust Enterprises, Inc., a Sandpoint company that has owned and operated Rust Tile & Stone for over nine years, recently launched its second company, Cleanlinez. A tile and stone restoration business, Cleanlinez will help protect your investment and make your tile or stone look like new.
According to Nick Rust, who owns both companies with his wife Sheyna, all stone products such as granite and marble need routine polishing to maintain their shine and clarity. Many people do not realize that sealers wear off countertops, and they should be cleaned and resealed every three to five years. Without the protection of sealers, even granite can become unsanitary and damaged. It is also important for consumers to understand that certain household products can damage sensitive stones such as marble.
What we as consumers spend hours trying to accomplish, Nick and his staff can do in a fraction of the time utilizing their high pressure and hot water extraction machine along with mechanical scrubbing and professional cleaners restoring a surface to its original beauty.
Nick has made a career of tile installation, working on both residential and commercial projects since the mid 90s. Prior to opening Rust Tile & Stone in his hometown of Sandpoint, he worked in Hawaii and Salt Lake City. Here he works closely with local flooring retailers, architects and building contractors.
“We are really excited to introduce Cleanlinez to the community,” said Nick, who began researching the refinishing process about four years ago. “After doing a lot of research and training, I got into restoration. It’s important to all of us in our company to preserve what we install,” said Nick. “With the support of Cleanlinez, we are now able to offer lifetime warranties on all our residential installations,” he added.
The idea of Cleanlinez came about when Nick began to service his past clients. “What started as cleaning, caulking and resealing grout, has led us to a much greater range of services we can offer,” said Nick of the restorative process. In addition to their residential services, Cleanlinez offers full commercial maintenance programs, including VCT. Nick feels it is important that clients understand the materials they are using in their facilities and how proper maintenance will maximize their lifespan.
Cleanlinez recently restored the floors at the local VFW Hall, offering a military discount as one way to give back to the community. Nick is a board member of the local Panhandle Building Contractors Association and his company does a great deal of charity work around the area. “My husband and I cherish being involved with the communities we grew up in,” said Sheyna.
Fully licensed and insured, Nick and Sheyna feel honored to be able to provide quality craftsmanship to their customers throughout the North Idaho area. In addition, Nick said he takes pride in knowing his company is a responsible local business that is able to employ seven hardworking individuals who provide superior customer service. “I celebrate and encourage my staff to bring professionalism to each and every job they do,” said Nick.
Stay tuned as in 2016 Cleanlinez plans to add concrete coatings and polishing to its services.
