How a Commercial Strip and Wax Runs
Four steps, planned around the hours your floor can close.
- 1
Walk and scope
We confirm the floor type, the square footage, the zones and the hours each zone can close.
- 2
Prepare
Movable items come out, the floor is dust mopped and the edges and doorways are protected.
- 3
Strip and rinse
Stripper loosens the old finish. Machines scrub it off, edges get detailed, and the floor is rinsed clean of residue.
- 4
Coat and hand back
New finish goes on in thin coats, each dry before the next. We check it, burnish if in scope, and release the zone.
Night and Weekend Crews, Zone by Zone
Your building keeps working while we strip. Crews come in at night, on weekends or during a planned shutdown.
Large floors are split into zones. One zone closes while the rest stays open, and you get the zone plan with the quote.
Several sites? A customized maintenance program puts every building on one scope and one calendar.

Five Signs Your Floor Needs a Full Strip
A recoat covers wear. These signs mean the old finish has to come off.
Finish has turned yellow or dark
Buildup along walls, corners and under shelving
Finish peels, flakes or powders
Black marks that scrubbing cannot lift
Shine fades within days of a buff
Fewer Full Strips With a Maintenance Program
Burnishing and scrub-and-recoat cycles keep the finish on the floor, so full strips come less often. Only the top one to two layers of finish usually take the damage (CMM, 2021).
A customized maintenance program sets the burnish, recoat and strip schedule by area. Entrances need it more often than offices.
What Sets the Price of a Strip and Wax
We quote by the job, after we see photos of the floor.
What moves the price
- Square footage and layout. Open floors go faster than rooms full of fixtures.
- Old finish. Heavy or yellowed layers take more stripping.
- Coats. More coats add gloss, durability and time.
- Moves. Whether our crew or your team clears the space.
- Work window. Nights, weekends and the time you need to reopen.
- Frequency. A one-time strip or a program with scheduled recoats.

Commercial Floor Stripping and Waxing: Your Questions
It removes the worn floor finish, soil and buildup from VCT or other resilient tile, then puts down fresh coats of finish. The new finish takes the traffic so the tile underneath does not. TCS does commercial floors only.
If the finish is still on the floor and only looks dull or scuffed, a scrub and recoat usually does it. Yellowed, dark, peeling or worn-through finish needs a full strip. Use the floor check on this page, or see our scrub and recoat service.
We quote by the job. Square footage, layout, the old finish, the number of coats, furniture moves and the work window set the price. Send the square footage and two photos for a quote.
It depends on the floor size, layout, old finish, coats and dry time. We plan it around the hours your floor can close. Our guide how long it takes to strip and wax a floor has a labor planner.
Yes. Crews work nights, weekends and planned shutdowns, and large floors are done zone by zone so the rest of the building stays open.
One supplier puts busy hallways, lobbies and retail aisles at every 3 to 6 months, and low-traffic offices and storage rooms at once a year (Okum Supply, 2025). Regular burnishing and recoats stretch that interval.
Commercial finish is typically applied in four to six layers (CMM, 2021). The right number depends on the traffic and the gloss you want.
Yes. A customized maintenance program can include burnishing, scrubbing, recoats, inspections and scheduled strips, across one site or many.
