The service

What commercial floor care (strip, wax, burnish & extraction) is, what a visit covers and where the line is.

The short answer

Commercial floor care is the periodic restoration of the hard and soft floors in a business: stripping old finish and applying new coats on resilient tile, burnishing to restore gloss, hot-water extraction on carpet, and polishing or sealing stone and concrete. Commercial Floor Care (Strip, Wax, Burnish & Extraction) in South San Francisco is booked through pros who cover its 3 ZIP codes, in neighborhoods such as Sign Hill, Sunshine Gardens, and Westborough. In South San Francisco, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain. Pros set their own rates, which you see before choosing, and you approve the hours before they are billed.

What a commercial floor care (strip, wax, burnish & extraction) visit includes

What shapes a commercial floor care (strip, wax, burnish & extraction) job

These are the things that make one job different from another. Mention them in your notes so each pro can scope your job properly.

Floor material
Vinyl tile, terrazzo, hardwood, stone and carpet each need a different process.
Current finish and buildup
Layers of old wax and worn sealer change how much stripping is needed.
Area size and traffic lanes
Large open areas move faster with machines, and tight corridors need hand work.
Furniture and fixed obstacles
Desks, shelves and equipment must be moved or worked around.
Ventilation and dry time
Strippers and finishes give off fumes and need time to dry.
Where in South San Francisco the job is
Many of these post-war homes are now reaching the age where electrical, plumbing, and finishes all want attention at once, while newer Oyster Point condos call for clean installs and quick turnarounds. Independent providers handle both ends of that range, on the hillside streets and the flats alike. Tell the pro your neighborhood or ZIP code so they know the age and style of the home.

Choosing the right floor treatment

The treatment that fits depends on the floor material, the wear it takes and how long the space can be closed. Tap an option to compare, then add your pick to your job notes.

What is not part of commercial floor care (strip, wax, burnish & extraction)

Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.

  • Subfloor, slab or structural repairs, and any job that reaches $1,000 in labor and materials, belong to a licensed contractor.
  • Replacing cracked, lifting or water-damaged flooring. That is a flooring installation job.
  • Routine daily vacuuming, mopping and restroom cleaning. That is commercial janitorial service.
  • Removal of floor coverings that may contain asbestos. Suspected material must be tested and handled by trained abatement crews.
  • Moisture and slab problems that make finish fail, such as active leaks or wet concrete, which a restoration or waterproofing pro must address first.
  • Polishing or coating of epoxy and decorative systems that need a coatings contractor.

How often to book commercial floor care (strip, wax, burnish & extraction)

Floors wear in cycles, so floor care works best on a plan. Each visit is booked with the pro you chose, and you can pause or change the schedule as traffic patterns change.

Weekly to monthlyBurnish or scrub high-traffic hard floors to keep the finish glossy and the traffic lanes from getting dull.
Every few monthsAdd a maintenance coat to resilient tile and extract carpet in entrances, corridors and break areas.
Once or twice a yearFull carpet extraction across the building and deep cleaning of grout and edges.
When finish builds upStrip and refinish resilient tile once the old finish has yellowed, peeled or can no longer be cleaned.

Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.

0/7
Let’s get you readyTap a card when you have done it.

Mark floor types on a floor plan

A simple sketch with each area labeled by material and rough size lets pros compare scopes accurately. Photos of worn lanes, stains and edges help even more.

Know when the floors were last done

Tell the pro the last strip, recoat or extraction date, and what product was used if you know it. Old finish history affects how many layers must be removed.

Decide which sections close and when

Choose the areas, days and hours that can close, and which entrances stay open. A section plan keeps the business running while the finish cures.

Clear the floor before the visit

Remove small items, cords and mats, and tell staff to park furniture away from walls. The pro moves heavy pieces only if the scope includes it.

Give the pro the access rules

Freight elevators, loading dock hours, insurance certificates and badge procedures all affect arrival time. Put them in the booking notes.

Plan for drying

Ask the pro how long finish or carpet takes to dry in your building and place signs and cones. Keep the HVAC running as agreed so the floors dry predictably.

Say where in South San Francisco you are

Add your neighborhood, for example Sign Hill, Sunshine Gardens, and Westborough, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.

How where you live changes commercial floor care (strip, wax, burnish & extraction)

Add your ZIP in the booking card at the top to see weather alerts and the season for your area.

The floor material decides the method

Vinyl composition tile takes stripper and layers of finish that are built up and burnished; sheet vinyl and rubber can need gentler chemicals; carpet needs the right extraction method for its fiber and backing; natural stone is soft and etches under the wrong cleaner; sealed concrete needs periodic recoating rather than wax. Tell the pro what each area is made of, and share photos, because the wrong stripper or pad can leave a floor worse than before.

Fill in the blanks first. The note goes to the pro you choose.
