Floortec floor care

Floors restored,
not just mopped

Floortec is in our name because floor care is the work that separates a cleaning crew from a maintenance partner. We strip, seal, wax, burnish and extract — the finishes that make a lobby look new again.

Why it matters

A dull floor undoes an otherwise clean building

Your visitors, tenants and clients walk in and look down before they look anywhere else. A scuffed, yellowing floor with black traffic lanes reads as a building nobody is taking care of — even if the desks are dusted and the restrooms are spotless.

The fix is not more mopping. Mopping over a worn finish just pushes soil into it. The fix is removing the old finish and building a new one, on a schedule — and that work belongs to somebody who does it every week, not twice a year.

All of it is done on weekends, holidays, or after your office closes, so nobody is walking around barricades or wet-floor signs on a Monday.

VCT & vinyl tile

Strip the yellowed build-up, lay down four to five coats of commercial finish, and burnish it to a deep, even gloss that holds up to office traffic.

Ceramic & quarry tile

Machine scrub the tile and grout, then seal the grout so soil stops soaking in. Common in breakrooms, restrooms, and front entries.

Sealed concrete & epoxy

Clean and re-seal worn lanes in warehouses, shop offices, and service corridors where the finish has gone chalky.

Commercial carpet

Pre-treat traffic lanes and spots, then hot-water extract. Low-moisture drying so the room is usable the same day in most cases.

Luxury vinyl plank

pH-appropriate cleaning and a protective finish where recommended — no stripping, no abrasive pads, no dulling haze.

Entry matting

Walk-off mats and runners cleaned and kept in place. They are the cheapest floor protection a building can own.

How a strip and wax goes

Four passes, done properly

Anyone can rent a buffer. The difference is in the prep, the neutralizer, and how many coats actually go down — shortcuts there are why a floor goes dull again in two months.

  1. 01

    Floor assessment

    We look at the finish, the wear lanes, and the mopping habits that got it here. That decides strip vs. scrub-and-recoat.

  2. 02

    Prep and protect

    Furniture moved, baseboards taped, and doorways masked so nothing gets splashed or scuffed.

  3. 03

    Strip and neutralize

    Old finish and embedded soil removed, then neutralized so the new coats actually bond instead of peeling.

  4. 04

    Finish and burnish

    Multiple thin coats of commercial finish, dried properly between passes, then burnished to the shine.

Proof, not promises

This is what stripping and finishing actually looks like

A floor that has been mopped over for years goes yellow and chalky, and no amount of cleaning brings it back. The only fix is taking the old finish off and building a new one in thin coats, then burnishing it until the sheen is even across the whole room.

We did this floor the way we do every floor: after hours, section by section, with the room put back together before anyone walked in the next morning.

Recommended rotation

How often your building needs it

  • Buff & burnishNightly to weekly on high-gloss lobbies and corridors — it is maintenance, not a project.
  • Scrub & recoatEvery few months on traffic lanes where the finish is wearing thin but the floor underneath is fine.
  • Full strip & waxUsually once a year, or any time the finish has yellowed, gone chalky, or started flaking.
  • Carpet extractionTwice a year in most offices; quarterly where there is a lot of foot traffic or food near the carpet.
  • Grout cleaning & sealingYearly in restrooms and breakrooms, or when the grout lines stop being grout-colored.

These are the rotations most offices end up on. Yours depends on foot traffic, floor type, and what your entryway does in bad weather — we will tell you what your building actually calls for after we see it.

Floors we have stripped and finished

Gymnasiums, school cafeterias, church halls, classrooms, clinics, offices and corridors — all of them stripped back, sealed, coated and burnished on the same schedule we would put your building on.
