VCT strip & wax
Old finish stripped to bare tile, then rebuilt in fresh coats for that wet-look shine. The classic reset for tile that's gone dull, yellowed, or scratched — typically once or twice a year depending on traffic.

Commercial floor care in Columbus
Floors are the most expensive finish in your building and the first thing to show neglect. A scheduled floor program costs a fraction of replacement — and makes the whole facility read as well-kept.
If you need the whole building covered day to day, that's what our janitorial program handles — this page is specifically about scheduled floor restoration and maintenance.
Programs
The right treatment for every floor type
Burnishing & scrub-and-recoat
The maintenance work between full strip-outs: high-speed burnishing restores gloss, and a scrub-and-recoat adds protection without the cost of a full strip. This is how floors stay glossy year-round.
Carpet extraction & encapsulation
Hot-water extraction pulls out what vacuums can't; low-moisture encapsulation keeps traffic lanes from going gray between deep cleans. Scheduled right, carpet lasts years longer.
Hard-surface maintenance
Polished concrete, LVT, ceramic, and rubber each want different chemistry and equipment. We match the method to the surface so the finish — and the warranty — survive.
Running a facility with a data center? Raised-floor environments need specialized methods beyond standard floor care — see our data center cleaning page.
We run floor programs across Greater Columbus — Dublin, Hilliard, Grove City, and every community in between.
The smart way to buy floor care
Put it on a calendar, not on a crisis
Most floor damage is just deferred maintenance compounding. We'll map your floor types at the walkthrough and propose an annual calendar — strip & wax in slow season, burnishing on rotation, carpet extraction before winter salt arrives — priced up front so there are no surprise projects.
Common questions
Floor care FAQs
How often should VCT be stripped and waxed?
Fully stripped once every 12–18 months for most Columbus facilities, with scrub-and-recoats and burnishing in between. Heavy-traffic retail or school corridors may need the full reset annually; light-traffic offices can often stretch longer.
Can floor work happen without closing the building?
Yes. Strip & wax and extraction are overnight and weekend work by nature — we section the space, work while you're closed, and floors are dry and ready before your doors open.
Do we need a janitorial contract to get floor work?
No — we do stand-alone floor projects. That said, bundling floor care into a recurring janitorial program usually prices better and means one vendor is accountable for how the whole building looks.
Winter is brutal on our entry floors. What helps?
Ohio salt season is a floor killer. The fix is a combination: walk-off matting, more frequent neutralizing mopping through winter, and a protective finish coat going into November. We build this into the calendar for every client with hard-floor entries.
How do you make sure the finished floor meets your standard?
The owner personally inspects completed floor work, so the finish is checked before we call the job done — not just handed off.
Do you offer a free estimate for floor projects, or is it a phone quote?
Always an on-site estimate. Floor condition, square footage, and traffic patterns vary too much for an accurate phone quote — we walk the space first.
Are you insured for floor work specifically?
Yes — the same insurance and bonding that covers our janitorial work covers floor care projects, and documentation is available on request.
