Your floors are one of the first things visitors notice when they walk into your building. Scuffed, dull, or yellowed floors give the impression that a facility is poorly maintained, regardless of how clean the rest of the space may be. Professional floor waxing and refinishing restores the appearance of your hard surface floors, protects them from daily wear, and extends their useful life significantly.

E & J Cleaning Services provides commercial floor waxing, stripping, and refinishing throughout Long Island, New York. Our trained floor care specialists use commercial-grade equipment and finishes to deliver results that look professional and hold up under the demands of daily foot traffic.

Our Floor Care Process

Proper floor refinishing is a multi-step process that requires the right equipment, products, and technique. E & J Cleaning follows a proven process for every floor waxing and refinishing project.

Stripping is the first step. We apply a commercial stripping solution to dissolve and remove all existing wax buildup, dirt, and old finish from the floor surface. This step is critical because applying new finish over old, degraded wax traps dirt and creates an uneven, cloudy appearance. Our stripping process takes the floor down to the bare surface so the new finish bonds properly.

Deep cleaning and preparation follows stripping. We thoroughly clean the bare floor surface to remove any remaining residue, ensure the floor is completely dry, and inspect for any damage or repairs needed before applying finish. Proper preparation is what separates a professional floor job from an amateur one.

Finish application involves applying multiple thin, even coats of commercial-grade floor finish. We typically apply three to five coats depending on the floor type and traffic expectations, allowing proper dry time between each coat. Multiple thin coats create a harder, more durable finish than fewer thick coats.

Buffing and polishing is the final step. Once the finish has fully cured, we machine-buff the floor to a high-gloss shine. The result is a smooth, reflective surface that looks brand new and resists scuffing and soil adhesion.

Floor Types We Service

E & J Cleaning has experience with every major commercial hard floor type found in Long Island businesses. We service VCT (vinyl composition tile), which is the most common commercial flooring found in offices, schools, and retail stores. We also handle ceramic and porcelain tile, linoleum, terrazzo, sealed concrete, and hardwood floors. Each floor type requires specific products and techniques, and our crews are trained to match the right approach to your flooring material.

One-Time Service vs. Recurring Floor Programs

Some clients need a one-time floor refinishing to restore floors that have been neglected or to prepare a space for a new tenant or special event. Others benefit from a recurring floor maintenance program that keeps floors looking their best year-round. A typical maintenance program includes periodic spray buffing to maintain gloss between full refinishing, spot scrubbing of high-traffic areas, and scheduled full strip-and-refinish cycles based on your facility’s traffic patterns. Recurring programs are popular with medical offices, schools, retail stores, and office buildings throughout Hauppauge, Islandia, Lake Grove, and Stony Brook.

Floor waxing and refinishing pairs well with our janitorial services and tile and grout cleaning for a complete floor care solution. We also provide floor refinishing as part of post-construction cleanup for newly installed flooring.
