Question 1

How much does floor stripping and waxing cost in Birmingham, AL?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on square footage, how much old finish has to come off, the number of coats, and how much furniture we move. A small office suite is a single-night job; a school corridor or church fellowship hall is usually quoted as a weekend project. We walk the floor, measure it, and give you one flat price in writing — no hourly billing and no surprise trip charges.

Question 2

How long does a strip and wax take?

Accepted Answer

Most Birmingham-area jobs run a single overnight shift per 3,000–5,000 sq ft. Stripping and rinsing takes the bulk of the time; the four to six finish coats go down about 30 minutes apart. The floor is walkable within an hour of the last coat, but keep carts and mats off for 24 hours and skip wet mopping for about 72 hours.

Question 3

Do you work after hours so we don't have to close?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nearly all of our strip-and-wax work in Birmingham, Hoover, and the surrounding metro runs overnight, on weekends, or over a holiday closure. For larger buildings we section the work one wing or corridor at a time so operations keep running while we move through.

Question 4

Which areas around Birmingham do you serve for floor waxing?

Accepted Answer

Birmingham, Hoover, Bessemer, Helena, Pelham, Alabaster, Homewood, Vestavia Hills, Mountain Brook, Trussville, Leeds, Moody, and Calera. Crews dispatch from Birmingham, so same-week scheduling is usually available across the metro.

Question 5

Which floors should be stripped and waxed?

Accepted Answer

VCT is the classic strip-and-wax floor, along with LVT, sheet vinyl, and linoleum. Terrazzo and sealed concrete are maintained with the right sealer and burnishing instead of heavy wax, and polished concrete, epoxy, and most luxury vinyl plank should never be waxed. We'll tell you straight if waxing is the wrong call for your floor.

Question 6

How often should we schedule it?

Accepted Answer

A full strip-and-wax once or twice a year with a scrub-and-recoat every three to four months keeps most commercial floors in good shape. High-traffic entries, corridors, and cafeterias often move to quarterly recoats, while low-traffic back offices can stretch to one annual strip.
