Hard floor strip & refinishing

Every business needs their hard floors cleaned properly to boost brand image and attract new customers and clients. Professional offices, warehouses, nursing homes, medical offices, schools, daycares, car showrooms, and other companies commonly request regular floor cleaning care to help control wear and tear, minimize damage and reduce costly floor repair or replacement. Facilities with high traffic in the Bay Area have an even greater need for regular, high quality hard flooring maintenance. The finish on hard floors can quickly wear down, removing the protective coat and dulling the look of your floors. Each day your hard floors get spilled on and scratched as items such as chairs and boxes are dragged across the surface, and objects are dropped causing small nicks and dents in the finish. Wheelchairs, walkers, dollies and mail carts are regularly rolled across floors.

we apply a commercial-grade floor stripper and let it do its work. This usually takes anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour.

Once the floor stripper has gone to work, we use an aggressive scrubbing pad to loosen all the material. Depending on how long it’s been from the last time the floor was stripped, you may have to repeat this 1-3 times. Next, we suck all that up with a wet vac.

Once all the finish and stripper is off, we clean the original surface and dry it completely. Don’t skip this step! It’s critical to ensure the floor is ready for the finish.

We generally put on four layers of floor finish. If it’s a high-traffic area we often apply 5-6 layers. The finish is dry in about 30 minutes and ready for foot traffic.

Using a wet buff, we shine the floor, giving it that “like new” look and feel.
