Commercial Floor Maintenance Services in Metro Detroit

Commercial floors endure constant foot traffic, heavy equipment, spills, and everyday wear and tear. Without proper maintenance, even the most durable flooring will deteriorate quickly, leading to costly repairs or premature replacement. Professional floor maintenance isn't just about appearance—it's about protecting your investment and ensuring a safe environment for everyone who enters your facility.

Studies show that properly maintained floors can last 2-3 times longer than neglected ones. For a business with 10,000 square feet of VCT flooring, the difference between regular maintenance and replacement can represent savings of $50,000 or more. When you partner with Dechord Building Services for your floor care needs, you're making a smart investment in your facility's future.

Beyond longevity, floor maintenance directly impacts safety. Worn, uneven, or slippery floors are a leading cause of workplace injuries. Our maintenance programs include anti-slip treatments and proper finishing techniques that help prevent accidents and reduce your liability exposure.

For VCT and similar resilient flooring, our comprehensive strip-and-wax service restores floors to like-new condition. This multi-step process is essential for maintaining the protective finish that keeps your floors looking great and easy to clean.

Step 1: Preparation — We begin by removing all furniture and obstacles, then thoroughly dust mopping to remove loose debris. This ensures the stripping solution can work effectively on the entire surface.

Step 2: Stripping — Using professional-grade stripping solution and low-speed floor machines with stripping pads, we remove all old wax buildup and embedded dirt down to the bare floor surface. This is the most critical step for achieving lasting results.

Step 3: Neutralizing and Rinsing — After stripping, we neutralize the floor and thoroughly rinse to remove all chemical residue. Any remaining stripper will prevent proper wax adhesion, so this step is essential.

Step 4: Wax Application — Once the floor is completely dry, we apply multiple thin coats of high-quality floor finish, allowing proper drying time between coats. Most floors require 4-6 coats for optimal protection and shine.

Step 5: Burnishing — For maximum shine and durability, we burnish the finished floor with high-speed equipment. This hardens the finish and creates a brilliant, long-lasting shine.

Different flooring materials require specialized care techniques. Our technicians are trained to properly maintain all commercial floor types, ensuring optimal results without damage.

Hardwood Floors: We use dust mopping, damp mopping with wood-safe cleaners, and periodic refinishing to maintain the natural beauty of your hardwood. Our screening and recoating services can restore worn hardwood without the expense of full refinishing.

Tile and Grout: Ceramic, porcelain, and quarry tile require regular cleaning and periodic deep cleaning to remove embedded dirt from grout lines. Our grout sealing service protects against staining and makes routine cleaning more effective.

Natural Stone: Marble, granite, slate, and other natural stones require pH-neutral cleaners and specific polishing techniques. We offer honing and polishing services to restore the natural luster of your stone floors.

Concrete Floors: Polished concrete and sealed concrete require regular dust mopping and periodic burnishing to maintain their shine. We also offer concrete sealing and densifying services for new or restored floors.

Effective floor maintenance requires a systematic approach. We work with facility managers to develop customized maintenance schedules that balance floor care needs with budget considerations.

Daily: Dust mopping and spot cleaning high-traffic areas removes abrasive dirt before it can damage floor finishes. This simple step dramatically extends the time between more intensive maintenance.

Weekly: Damp mopping with appropriate cleaners and auto-scrubbing removes accumulated soil and maintains a clean appearance between deeper services.

Monthly: Spray buffing or burnishing restores shine to worn areas and helps maintain a consistent appearance throughout your facility.

Quarterly/Annual: Deep cleaning, scrub-and-recoat services, and complete strip-and-wax maintain optimal floor protection. The frequency depends on traffic levels and floor type.
