Floor Stripping & Waxing
in Virginia Beach + Hampton Roads
Restore the look of worn resilient flooring by removing built-up finish and applying a fresh protective coating in a planned sequence.
A focused plan for the surface in front of us.
Stripping and waxing is a floor-care system, not just a polishing pass. All City evaluates the existing finish, traffic, edges, corners, and maintenance history before deciding whether a full strip or a lighter recoat is the right fit.
All City works with residential and commercial customers. The right method, products, and timing depend on material, condition, access, and what the space needs to be ready for afterward.
Start with the condition—not a shortcut.
- Dull or yellowed finish
- Layered wax that looks uneven
- Scuffs and traffic lanes
- Floor maintenance that no longer produces a consistent appearance
Results depend on the material, age of the problem, previous products, and whether the source is accessible. We explain limits before work begins.
A useful scope,
in writing.
Exact inclusions depend on the estimate and the actual space. These are the steps commonly considered for floor stripping & waxing.

- 01
Plan the shutdown
We confirm access, after-hours needs, furniture movement, cure time, and how people use the space.
- 02
Strip and recover
The existing finish is loosened and removed with controlled agitation and recovery, including edges as accessible.
- 03
Rinse and prepare
Residue is removed and the floor is allowed to reach the condition needed for the new finish.
- 04
Apply and protect
The specified finish is applied in even coats, then the area is kept out of service until the agreed return time.
Selected for the material.
The system may include a resilient-floor stripper, neutralizer or rinse, low-speed floor machine, wet vacuum, microfiber tools, finish applicators, and commercial floor finish selected for traffic and maintenance.
- Office corridors and lobbies
- Retail and service spaces
- Schools, churches, and community rooms
- Commercial resilient tile floors
Hampton Roads businesses often need work planned around occupied hours, wet-weather entry traffic, and humidity. Cure time and re-entry rules should be part of the schedule.
Before the quote.
These answers are starting points. Site conditions and the written scope control the final recommendation.
How long will the floor be out of service?
That depends on floor size, finish layers, access, drying, and the number of coats. We will set a practical re-entry window after seeing the space and learning the operating schedule.
Can every floor be stripped and waxed?
No. This service is primarily for compatible resilient flooring. Hardwood, natural stone, ceramic tile, and specialty floors may need a different cleaning or refinishing plan.
How often should a floor be stripped?
Frequency depends on traffic, entry matting, daily cleaning, finish quality, and maintenance habits. A regular scrub-and-recoat plan can often reduce the need for full stripping.
Keep the whole surface plan in view.
