Business Spotlight
At 5280 Floors, we're all about making wood floors perform and look their best. From wood selection to maintenance, we take the time to understand where your floor has been, what your needs are and then recommend the service that make sense for your situation. Whether it's a three-month fix or to make your floor last a lifetime, we'll implement a floor care program that meets your needs, at the lowest possible overall cost.  With proper care, a wood floor can last 50 years. The key is protecting it from moisture and damage, using the correct maintenance tools and cleaners, and implementing a recoat schedule that reduces or eliminates the need to sand and refinish. If you're a real estate agent, investor or stager and want to make that house sell, we have a process that power scrubs the existing finish and recoats with a commercial-grade polish, making a worn-out wood floor "pop" - quickly and at a very low cost.  5280 Floors is located in west Arvada, and is owned/operated by Eric See, an Arvada resident for 13 years. Eric was formerly the national sales manager for Bona US, a 90-year old Swedish wood floor finish manufacturer. He has developed commercial sand & finish and maintenance specs for national retail chains including GAP, Banana Republic, Abercrombie & Fitch, Ann Taylor and Crate & Barrel. Eric also managed Bona's line of consumer maintenance products.  At 5280 Floors, we always provide the highest quality at an affordable price. Our specialties include design, installation, dustless sanding & refinishing, polishing, and deep cleaning. We use only top-quality products that are non-toxic and GREENGUARD Certified safe for use around children and pets. We look forward to becoming an active member of the Arvada Chamber of Commerce! |

The Arvada Business Zone
The Arvada Business Zone is brought to you by Arvada Chamber of Commerce and Marketing Huddle. We decided to launch a radio show to bring this to life by interviewing Arvada Chamber of Commerce members about their business and how it started, along with all the frequently asked questions they get from customers just like you!
This will be a fun & informative format where you will be able to learn much more about the business than just the few words you'd see in an advertisement!
Also, you will be able to learn from Arvada Leadership about the direction Arvada is moving, and be able to share your ideas as well.
We want to interview YOU! CLICK HERE to sign up for your interview!
