Commercial Floor Stripping & Waxing

Dull, scuffed, or yellowing floors signal neglect — even if the rest of your building is spotless. They’re the largest visible surface in your facility and the first thing visitors, tenants, and employees notice underfoot.

The expensive mistake: most facility managers wait until floors look terrible before calling for a strip and refinish. By then, the damage is deeper, the job takes longer, and the cost is 2-3x what a scheduled maintenance program would have been. Our preventive approach — regular burnishing between strip cycles, proactive recoats when wear patterns emerge — extends floor life dramatically.

JAN-PRO maintains every commercial floor type — VCT, LVT, concrete, terrazzo, marble, hardwood, and epoxy — with surface-specific products and before-and-after Tracker® documentation so you can see floor condition trending over time, not just on the day someone finally complains.

Quoted after the fact

“Our VCT floors used to need a full strip every four months because nobody was maintaining them. JAN-PRO put us on a burnishing and recoat schedule, and we haven't done a full strip in over a year. The before-and-after photos prove the floors actually look better now than they did after the last strip.”

FAQ

Questions & answers.

How often should commercial floors be stripped and waxed?

Most commercial VCT floors need stripping and re-waxing every 6-12 months depending on foot traffic. High-traffic areas like lobbies may need quarterly service. Regular burnishing and recoating between strips extends those cycles significantly. We build a custom maintenance schedule during your initial assessment.

How much does commercial floor care cost?

Commercial floor care programs typically range from $400 to $4,000 per month depending on total square footage, floor type, and maintenance frequency. A one-time strip-and-refinish for a 10,000 sqft VCT floor runs $1,500-$3,000. Use our instant quoting tool for a personalized estimate.

What types of floors does JAN-PRO maintain?

We service all commercial floor types: VCT, LVT, hardwood, concrete, terrazzo, marble, ceramic tile, and epoxy. Each requires specific products and techniques — our franchise owners are trained for each surface type.

How is JAN-PRO's floor care different from other companies?

Most companies only show up when floors already look bad. JAN-PRO uses a preventive maintenance calendar with scheduled burnishing, recoating, and stripping — extending floor life by 2-3x. Every service is documented with before-and-after Tracker® photos so you can see condition trending over time.

Do you provide the floor care equipment and supplies?

Yes. JAN-PRO franchise owners bring all equipment — auto-scrubbers, burnishers, stripping machines — and surface-specific products for each floor type. You don't need to purchase or store anything.

How quickly can floor care service start?

Most facilities can have their first floor care service within 5-7 business days after the on-site assessment. Get an instant estimate now and a local franchise owner will follow up within 4 hours.

Can you restore floors that are already damaged?

In many cases, yes. Deep scrubbing, stripping, and re-coating can restore floors that appear worn or yellowed. We assess condition during your free on-site evaluation and provide honest recommendations — including when replacement is more cost-effective than restoration.

How does floor care affect my overall cleaning cost?

Floor care is typically an add-on to core janitorial, billed based on square footage and frequency. Well-maintained floors reduce long-term costs by extending the flooring's useful life by 2-3x — the maintenance program pays for itself in deferred replacement costs.
