Polished commercial floor after stripping and waxing in Lake Charles

Floor stripping & waxing in Lake Charles, LA

Executive Touch Cleaning Solutions provides commercial floor stripping, waxing, sealing, and burnishing across Lake Charles, Sulphur, Westlake, Moss Bluff, and all of Southwest Louisiana. VCT, tile, terrazzo, and hardwood — scheduled overnight or over weekends so your business stays open.

What is commercial floor stripping and waxing?

Commercial floor stripping and waxing is the process of removing old wax and buildup from hard floors — typically VCT (vinyl composition tile) — and applying fresh sealer and floor finish. It restores shine, protects the floor, and dramatically extends its lifespan. Most Lake Charles commercial floors need a full strip and wax every 12–18 months, with routine buffing or burnishing every 1–3 months to keep the finish looking new.

If your floors look tired, they probably are

A dull, yellowed floor tells every client something you don't want it to.

Nobody walks into your Lake Charles office, church, or retail space and says, "wow, look at those floors." But when they're dingy, scuffed, or hazed over with old wax — that's what people notice. Worn floors quietly tell visitors that the business behind them isn't quite paying attention.

The fix isn't hard. Commercial floors are engineered to be stripped and refinished. VCT, terrazzo, and sealed concrete can be brought back to a glass-like shine even after years of neglect — if the job is done right, in the right sequence, with the right products.

Jeremy Newman built Executive Touch's floor care program because most "janitorial" companies either skip floors entirely or do them badly. We do it as a specialty — stripper, sealer, multiple coats of commercial finish, cured properly, buffed to a mirror finish. The kind of floor you actually want people to notice.

"A well-maintained commercial floor isn't a luxury — it's the cheapest way to make a building feel cared for."

— Jeremy Newman, Owner, Executive Touch Cleaning Solutions

The 5-step strip and wax process.

Shortcuts on commercial floors show up within a month. Here's the full sequence we run on every Lake Charles job — no steps skipped.

01

Prep & Scrub

We move furniture, tape off edges and baseboards to protect them from stripper splash, and pre-scrub the floor with a neutral cleaner to remove loose dirt. Skipping this step is why cheap strip-jobs pull up uneven — the stripper can't work properly through grime.

02

Strip

Commercial-grade wax stripper is applied, allowed to dwell, and agitated with a rotary floor machine equipped with a stripping pad. The goal is to dissolve every layer of old wax down to bare, factory floor — not just the top coat. For heavily built-up floors, we apply stripper twice.

03

Rinse & Neutralize

The slurry is wet-vacuumed up, then the floor is rinsed and neutralized. This step is non-negotiable — any stripper residue left on the floor will cause the new wax to adhere poorly, yellow prematurely, or peel. We rinse until the floor reads pH-neutral.

04

Seal

A commercial floor sealer is applied as the foundation layer. Sealer fills porous floors (like VCT and sealed concrete), blocks stains from wicking up through the finish, and gives the wax coats a durable base to bond to. Most competitors skip this — it's the #1 reason floors wear out fast.

05

Wax & Buff

Three to five coats of high-solids commercial floor finish are applied, with full cure time between each coat. Rushing this step is the other reason budget strip-and-waxes fail. After the final coat cures, we high-speed burnish the floor to a glass-like shine.

Done right, your floor should look new.

Floor care for every kind of Lake Charles business.

Commercial floor stripping and waxing looks different in every industry. Here's how we scope each job for the facilities we serve most across Southwest Louisiana.

HealthcareMedical and dental office floor care

Medical offices and dental practices across Lake Charles rely on waxed VCT — it's durable, disinfectable, and meets healthcare facility standards. We strip and wax clinics, exam rooms, waiting areas, and surgical suites using low-VOC floor finishes on request. Most medical offices schedule annual stripping plus quarterly buffing.

Faith & CommunityChurch floors: sanctuaries, fellowship halls, and classrooms

Church floors take heavy weekend traffic. We strip and wax sanctuaries, fellowship halls, fellowship-hall kitchens, classrooms, and nurseries — scheduled during the week when the building is quiet. Most Lake Charles-area churches go on an annual strip-and-wax cycle with monthly buffing to stay ready for Sunday morning.

Education & ChildcareSchools, daycares, and training centers

Private schools, daycares, and training centers have among the highest-traffic commercial floors anywhere — sneakers, spills, art projects, and constant classroom reshuffling. We scope school floors for maximum durability, using 5-coat applications and scheduled summer-break strip jobs so the school year starts fresh.

Retail & HospitalityStorefronts, fitness studios, and service businesses

Retail floors are your first impression. We strip and wax storefronts, fitness studios, wellness clinics, and service-business lobbies across Lake Charles and Sulphur — scheduled overnight or during closed days so you don't lose sales. Recurring buffing programs keep high-traffic areas from dulling between annual strips.

Industrial & CommercialRefinery admin buildings, warehouses, and industrial offices

Southwest Louisiana's industrial corridor — from Westlake and Sulphur refineries to Lake Charles industrial parks — runs on durable VCT and sealed concrete floors. We strip and wax admin buildings, breakrooms, and warehouse office floors around shift schedules, including overnight and weekend work windows.

Restaurant & Food ServiceRestaurants, cafes, and commercial kitchens

Restaurant floors deal with grease, food traffic, and daily mop water — which breaks down floor finish fast. We strip and wax restaurant dining rooms, cafes, bakery storefronts, and kitchen floors using high-traffic commercial finishes that stand up to food-service abuse.

Don't see your space? We still clean it.

No long-term contracts. Just a straight-line process that gets your floors on a maintenance schedule that actually holds up.

01

02

Custom Floor Plan

You get a written flat-rate quote plus a recommended care schedule (annual strip-and-wax, quarterly buff, etc.) tailored to your facility's traffic and budget.

03

Floor stripping and waxing — answered.

The questions Lake Charles business owners ask most often before hiring a commercial floor care company.

How much does floor stripping and waxing cost in Lake Charles?
Floor stripping and waxing pricing in Lake Charles depends on square footage, floor condition, floor type, and the number of wax coats applied. Executive Touch provides flat-rate written quotes after a floor assessment — no hourly billing or hidden fees. Scheduled recurring floor care is priced lower than one-time jobs.
How often should commercial floors be stripped and waxed?
Most commercial VCT floors should be stripped and waxed every 12 to 18 months, with routine buffing or burnishing every 1–3 months to maintain shine and extend the life of the finish. High-traffic facilities (churches, schools, medical offices) may need more frequent stripping; low-traffic offices can often go 18–24 months.
What types of commercial floors do you strip and wax?
Executive Touch strips and waxes all major commercial hard-floor types: VCT (vinyl composition tile), linoleum, sealed concrete, terrazzo, ceramic tile, and some types of sealed hardwood. We also handle specialty finishes for healthcare and industrial facilities. If you're unsure what your floor is, we can ID it during a free walkthrough.
How long does floor stripping and waxing take?
A typical commercial floor strip-and-wax takes 6 to 12 hours depending on square footage, floor condition, and how many wax coats you want. Most jobs are scheduled overnight or over a weekend so your business isn't disrupted. Floors are typically ready for light traffic 2–4 hours after the final coat.
Do I need to move furniture before you strip my floor?
No. Executive Touch handles furniture moving as part of the service. We carefully relocate desks, chairs, rolling files, and light office equipment before stripping, and put everything back in place after the wax cures. For large or sensitive equipment, we'll coordinate with you ahead of time.
How many coats of wax do you apply?
Our standard commercial floor finish is 3 to 4 coats of high-solids floor finish over a sealer. For high-traffic facilities — churches, schools, retail storefronts, medical offices — we recommend 5 coats for extended durability. Each coat cures before the next is applied, which is why the process takes most of a night or weekend.
Do you offer buffing and burnishing between strip jobs?
Yes. Between full strip-and-wax jobs, we offer routine buffing and high-speed burnishing to restore shine, repair minor wear, and extend the life of the finish. Recurring buffing (monthly or quarterly) is one of the best investments you can make — it can push your next full strip 12–18 months further out.
Can you do floor care on weekends or overnight?
Yes. Most commercial floor stripping and waxing is scheduled overnight, over weekends, or during holiday closures so your business stays operational. We can work around school breaks, church services, office hours, and medical office schedules.
Is floor wax safe for healthcare and childcare facilities?
Yes. We use commercial floor finishes that meet healthcare and education facility standards, including low-VOC and slip-resistant options on request. For medical offices, dental practices, schools, and daycares in Lake Charles, we can scope your project with the specific products your facility requires.
What's the difference between a scrub-and-recoat and a full strip?
A scrub-and-recoat cleans the top layer of old wax and adds one or two fresh coats on top — faster and cheaper, but it leaves old build-up underneath. A full strip removes every layer down to bare floor, then rebuilds the finish from scratch. Full strips are needed every 12–18 months; scrub-and-recoats can be done in between.
What areas around Lake Charles do you serve?

Can I get on a regular floor care schedule?
Absolutely. Most of our commercial clients sign up for scheduled floor care — typically quarterly buffing plus annual stripping and waxing. Scheduled recurring floor care is priced lower than one-time jobs, and it keeps your floors consistently presentable without surprise big-ticket repair bills.
