A Quick Fit Check
This is a fit if:
Your floors look dull, scuffed, or permanently “dirty”
You have heavy foot traffic (lobbies, hallways, breakrooms, restrooms)
You want a noticeable improvement fast
You need floors ready for an inspection, event, or client-facing day
Not a fit if:
You’re looking for residential floor care
You want a firm price without seeing the facility
If you’re not sure what kind of flooring you have, that’s normal. We’ll identify it during the walkthrough.
What Strip & Wax Does (In Plain English)
Strip & wax removes old finish buildup and replaces it with a clean, protective finish that makes floors look better and hold up longer.
You typically get:
- A cleaner, brighter appearance
- Improved slip resistance when done properly [PLACEHOLDER: confirm language based on your products/process]
- Better protection against wear in high-traffic zones
- Easier day-to-day maintenance afterward
If your floors “never look clean,” it’s often because the finish is worn, uneven, or layered. Mopping won’t fix that. Strip & wax will.

What Affects Strip & Wax Pricing
Pricing depends on a few predictable factors, and we’ll walk you through them.
Main price drivers:
- Square footage and number of zones
- Floor type and current condition
- Amount of buildup/wear
- Access and scheduling constraints (after-hours, phased work, etc.)
- Desired finish level and number of coats
If you’ve ever gotten a ‘too-good-to-be-true’ floor quote, it usually means the scope is missing something important.
Minimal Disruption Options
We can often schedule strip & wax work to reduce downtime and disruption.
Common approaches:
After-hours service for offices and client-facing spaces [PLACEHOLDER: confirm]
Phased work by zone so you can keep operating
Weekend scheduling for lower-traffic windows [PLACEHOLDER: confirm]

A strip & wax reset looks great, but traffic wears everything down.
Option A: One-Time Reset
- Best for: events, inspections, seasonal refreshes
- Outcome: big improvement now
Ongoing Janitorial + Floor Maintenance (Preferred)
- Best for: consistent appearance and longer finish life
- Outcome: fewer issues month-to-month
Floors That Look Better and Hold Up Longer
Strip & Wax FAQs
How often should strip & wax be done?
It depends on traffic, floor type, and maintenance. High-traffic areas may need it more often. We’ll recommend a realistic schedule after the walkthrough.
Is strip & wax the same as buffing?
Not exactly. Buffing/burnishing improves shine on an existing finish. Strip & wax removes old finish and rebuilds the protective layer. We’ll tell you which you actually need.
Will you move furniture?
[PLACEHOLDER: policy]. In many cases, we can work around or phase areas. We’ll clarify during scheduling.
Can you do this after-hours or on weekends?
[PLACEHOLDER: yes/no and any constraints]. We’ll propose the least disruptive schedule.
Do you do residential floors?
No. Commercial facilities only.
