Skyward floor stripping and waxing services remove tired finish, neutralize the surface, then apply sealer and fresh coats for a uniform gloss that holds up to traffic. We focus on safe chemical use, proper dwell time, thorough rinse, and controlled dry times so areas return to service quickly with less rework.
Trained techs. Wet floor safety signage. Clear aftercare notes.
Relied on by operations teams that need resilient floors to look consistent again.
Old finish traps soil and turns yellow, especially on vinyl composition tile and other resilient floors. Entrances and drink stations show gray traffic lanes and dull patches that do not respond to buffing.
Improper stripping or incomplete rinse leaves residue that attracts dirt. Floors look patchy and scuff quickly. Inconsistent application causes swirl marks and uneven gloss.
We cordon off the area, apply the right dilution, allow dwell time, agitate with the correct pad, and wet vac the slurry. Then we neutralize and rinse so the new finish lays flat and cures as designed.
From chemical safety and pad selection to sealer, finish, and speed drying, see the steps that return a uniform gloss.
Choose a full strip and refinish when appearance has plateaued and simple scrub and recoat will not recover the look.
A managed program that restores finish correctly and sets you up for easier maintenance later.
Proper dilution and dwell time, agitation with the right pad, baseboard detail, slurry removal with wet vac or auto scrubber, then neutralizing and rinse so no residue remains.
First, a compatible sealer to lock the surface. Then multiple thin coats of commercial finish applied in opposing directions for even coverage and consistent gloss.
Caution signs and cordons, ventilation, and air movers to accelerate dry time. Clear re entry times and aftercare to reduce slip risk and prevent early scuffing.
A stepwise approach that protects people, flooring, and finishes.
We inspect substrate and finish condition, check for coatings or previous sealer, and test a small area to verify dilution, dwell, and pad aggressiveness.
Post wet floor signage, cordon off paths, and protect walls and thresholds. Move light items and place corner guards and baseboard shields as needed.
Apply stripper evenly, keep it wet for dwell, then agitate with a low speed machine and appropriate stripping pad. Edge and baseboards are detailed for uniform removal.
Vacuum slurry with a wet vac or auto scrubber, then rinse thoroughly and neutralize to return pH to normal so new finish bonds and cures correctly.
Lay thin, even coats with proper dry time between applications. We alternate directions to avoid lap lines and allow final cure for durability and shine.
Inspect for swirl marks, dull spots, or missed edges. Set up speed drying and provide a simple care plan including dust mopping, autoscrub schedule, and burnishing cadence.
What you get with process control and product compatibility.
| Skyward | Others |
|---|---|
| Correct dilution, dwell, and pad matched to finish and floor | Same stripper and pad used everywhere |
| Neutralize and rinse to target pH for better adhesion | Minimal rinsing that leaves residue and causes fast resoil |
| Thin, even coats with timed recoat windows | Heavy coats that trap moisture and haze |
| Wet floor signage and controlled reopen times | Limited safety planning and unclear re entry guidance |
Dull VCT corridors restored to a uniform, maintainable gloss.
Resilient corridors and break areas
High traffic corridors showed embedded soil and uneven sheen. Skyward performed a controlled strip with correct dwell and pad selection, recovered slurry with an auto scrubber, and neutralized thoroughly. A sealer and multiple thin coats of finish restored consistent appearance. With a simple autoscrub and burnish schedule, shine held longer and spot cleaning requests declined.
Consistent gloss and safer reopen times with clear communication.
"Our hallways went from dull and patchy to a clean, even shine. The crew documented every step and reopened on schedule."
Facilities Director, Office Campus
"They matched pads and product to our floor, neutralized correctly, and the finish has held up better between burnishings."
Operations Manager, Healthcare
"Safety signage and aftercare were on point. We had fewer slip concerns and fewer tracking marks the next morning."
Office Manager, Multi tenant Facility
Finish, sealer, and stripper selected for the substrate and conditions. We verify with a small test so results are predictable.
Wet floor signage, cordons, PPE, and ventilation. We share re entry times and place mats to reduce early scuffs.
Simple dust mop, autoscrub, and burnish cadence so your shine lasts and the next deep service is easier and less frequent.
Tell us about your floor type, traffic, and access windows. We will scope the correct dilution, pad, coat count, and reopen timing.
A one page route for dilution, dwell, neutralize, coat timing, and reopen. Includes a quick guide to pads and safety signage.
Pair strip and refinish with nightly care and periodic services for consistent results.
