Strip, scrub, and refinish VCT, LVT, stone, and concrete to restore gloss, improve traction, and simplify maintenance.

Commercial Hard Floor Restoration in Metro Detroit

Bring Back Gloss, Traction, and Like-New Appearance—Without Blowing Up Your Schedule

Hard floors take a beating: winter salt, cart traffic, pivot scuffs, cleaning chemical residue, and micro-abrasion from everyday grit. Over time, finishes dull, colors flatten, and safety can slip. Maven Commercial Cleaning’s Commercial Hard Floor Restoration program revives and protects VCT/LVT/LVP, rubber, sheet vinyl, terrazzo, polished concrete, epoxy, and stone across Detroit, Southfield, Novi, Troy, and throughout Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties—with methods that match your materials, timelines, and budget.

What “Restoration” Means (Beyond Simple Mopping)

We start with a live, on-site assessment—never a virtual estimate—to identify floor type, traffic lanes, salt or detergent film, and prior coatings. Then we select the right approach:

• Top-Scrub & Recoat (Fast Appearance Boost)
  • Removes embedded soil and damaged top layers of finish.
  • Applies fresh coats for renewed gloss/clarity and improved cleanability.
  • Ideal for VCT and some LVT where a full strip isn’t required.
• Full Strip & Refinish (Deep Reset for VCT/Resilient)
  • Safely strips old finish without harming tile, followed by multi-coat build (matte, satin, or high-gloss options).
  • Edge detailing and threshold work for an even, professional look.
  • Adds slip-smart options in high-traffic or sloped areas.
• Polished Concrete Refresh (Clarity & Sheen)
  • Dry polishing or light honing to remove micro-scuffs and restore reflectivity.
  • Guard/seal application for stain resistance and easier daily maintenance.
  • Dust control throughout to protect adjacent zones.
• Terrazzo & Stone Care (Shine Without Etch)
  • pH-appropriate cleaning, honing/polishing, and penetrating sealers.
  • No harsh acids; we protect color and natural veining.
• Rubber & Specialty Resilient
  • Detergent/soil film removal (what makes floors look “gray”).
  • Finish options that preserve traction and manufacturer warranties.
• Epoxy & Urethane Floors
  • Degrease, neutralize, and machine work to remove scuffs and tire marks.
  • Optional topcoats to renew gloss and chemical resistance in docks or labs.

Why Results Last (and Daily Cleaning Gets Easier)

Restoration resets the surface so soils release with neutral cleaners and less labor. Benefits you’ll notice:

• Higher, more uniform gloss—or matte, on purpose (your choice).
• Improved traction with residue-free products and correct pad selection.
• Lower re-soiling because we eliminate sticky films.
• Longer asset life: fewer expensive replacements or grind-level repairs.

Metro Detroit Seasonality: Plan Around Real Soils

• Winter: Salt neutralization, extra mat strategy, and protective film rebuild after the season.
• Spring: Pollen/dust lift; post-winter top-scrub & recoat to restore clarity.
• Summer: Odor and scuff control; burnish cycles to keep showrooms camera-ready.
• Fall: Pre-winter finish checks and targeted recoats before brine and grit arrive.

Scheduling That Won’t Disrupt Operations

• After-hours/overnight service for lobbies, corridors, and retail floors.
• Phased areas (half tonight, half tomorrow) to maintain access.
• Rapid-cure finishes where you need same-morning open.
• Event support (pre-event polish, post-event touchbacks).

Material-Safe Methods & Chemistry

• pH-correct strippers/cleaners; no product that clouds LVT or etches stone.
• Residue control with true rinse and neutralization steps.
• Right pads/brushes (no swirl marks on high-gloss or polished concrete).
• Low-VOC options for scent-sensitive environments.

Quality Control & Documentation

• Digital checklists by zone with time-stamped completion.
• Supervisor inspections for gloss uniformity, edge detail, and traction.
• Issue log calling out substrate damage, hollow tiles, or moisture intrusion.
• Care notes for your team (daily mop solution, pad recommendations, spill protocol).

Integrate for Best Results

Pair restoration with:

• Entrance & Direct Perimeter Cleaning to reduce tracked grit and salt.
• High-Traffic Corridor Care for ongoing scuff and moisture control.
• Commercial Carpet Maintenance so adjacent textiles don’t re-soil hard floors.
• Day Porter Service for spill response and midday shine checks.

Safety, Training & People

Our uniformed W-2 team is trained in chemical handling, PPE, equipment safety, bloodborne pathogen awareness, and slip/fall prevention. We set perimeters, signage, and clear egress routes—and coordinate with security and property management.

FAQs

How do I know if we need a top-scrub & recoat or a full strip & refinish?

If finish is intact but dull/scratched, a top-scrub & recoat usually restores appearance quickly. If you see yellowing, deep embed, or uneven build, a full strip & refinish is the correct reset. We confirm onsite with test panels.

Will higher gloss make the floor slippery?

Gloss ≠ slick. We use slip-smart finishes and proper prep that enhances traction. We also set mat strategy and neutral cleaners to avoid films that actually cause slips.

How long before people can walk on restored floors?

Light foot traffic can typically resume 30–90 minutes per coat (product-dependent). Full cure for heavy carts may require overnight. We stage phases so operations stay on track and post clear re-entry times.
