Deep Steam Cleaning & Sanitizing for Grout, Tile & Hard Surfaces

We Clean What Scrubbing Can’t.

SurfaceLift™ uses commercial-grade, high-pressure, high-temperature steam to deep clean the hard surfaces throughout bathrooms and kitchens.

We remove embedded dirt, buildup, residue, and contaminants from grout, tile, showers, glass, stone, fixtures, and other hard surfaces—without simply covering over the problem.

No harsh chemical fumes. No grout paint. No unnecessary replacement. Just a deeper level of cleaning.

Steam-Powered Bathroom & Kitchen Cleaning & Sanitizing.

In the bathroom and kitchen, SurfaceLift™ deep-cleans and sanitizes the surfaces you use every day — tile, grout, showers, backsplashes, glass, and stone. Commercial-grade, high-temperature steam brings them back to life without harsh chemicals, replacement, or demolition. Most projects are completed in a single visit.

What we do outside

Exterior pressure & soft washing.

Outside, SurfaceLift™ safely restores exterior surfaces using professional pressure washing and soft washing methods tailored to each material. Cleaner, brighter results — without the damage caused by inexperienced high-pressure cleaning.

House Washing

Soft-wash for siding, brick, and stucco. Pulls off algae, dirt, and mildew at the source.

Driveway Cleaning

Concrete, pavers, and walkways stripped of oil, algae, and ground-in stains.

Patio & Pool Deck Cleaning

Slippery, mildewed stone and pavers brought back to safe, clean surface.

Roof Soft Washing

Low-pressure treatment kills the algae behind black streaks without harming shingles.

Fence & Deck Cleaning

Meet Will

Local service. Personal attention. Hard work.

I’ve been restoring surfaces for 20+ years. Before SurfaceLift™, I built Specialized Refinishing Co. — started with one truck and grew it into a company with 30+ locations across the country.

The best work always got done when I was the one doing it. So I stepped back from running a national operation and started SurfaceLift™ — smaller, hands-on, and built around the work I made my career on: careful interior restoration of tile, grout, glass, and stone.

No technicians. No subcontractors. No training on your house.

"You get the owner — every time."

— Will Schien, Owner
Meet Charlie Walton

Honest work. Attention to detail.

As a partner at SurfaceLift™, Charlie Walton has a personal stake in every project we complete. Unlike companies that send out rotating crews, Charlie is directly involved in the work — and takes pride in making sure every customer gets the quality and attention to detail they deserve.

A student and three-sport athlete at Millbrook High School — soccer, basketball, and lacrosse — Charlie has learned the value of discipline, accountability, and showing up prepared every day. Balancing academics, athletics, and work built the reliability and determination customers count on.

Before joining SurfaceLift™, he gained hands-on experience through landscaping, vehicle detailing, cleanup projects, and helping homeowners maintain their properties. Those jobs taught him that real results come from hard work, patience, and paying attention to the details others overlook.

Whether he’s cleaning grout and tile, restoring surfaces, or assisting on a project, his goal is always the same: deliver exceptional results and leave every space looking better than he found it.

Treats every home like his own.

"Leave every space looking better than I found it."

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

Is SurfaceLift™ a house-cleaning service?
No. We specialize in detailed deep steam cleaning and surface restoration. We address hard surfaces and difficult problem areas that are often outside the scope of ordinary house cleaning.
Our primary cleaning method is high-temperature steam. Certain types of mineral deposits, soap residue, grease, or specialty surfaces may require a compatible cleaning product. We explain the proposed process before beginning.
Results depend on the original grout color, age, condition, staining, previous coatings, and whether the grout is damaged. We provide honest expectations and can clean a test section when appropriate.
Our primary goal is to clean and restore the existing grout rather than cover it with grout paint. Clear sealing or repair options may be recommended depending on the condition and location.
Many stone surfaces can be professionally cleaned, but stone requires careful evaluation. We identify the material and test the process before treating questionable areas.
Many mineral deposits can be substantially improved. However, glass that has been permanently etched may not return completely to its original appearance. We will explain what level of improvement is realistic.
Yes. Customers can hire us for one specific surface or request a complete bathroom or kitchen deep cleaning.
Yes. Maintenance options may be available after an initial deep cleaning.
Yes. Text pictures to (919) 899-2222 for a free photo estimate. We may recommend an in-person evaluation for larger or more complex projects.
