When thinking about preventative maintenance, most property managers focus on HVAC systems, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure. But one of the most visible and frequently used parts of your building—its floors—often doesn’t get the proactive care it deserves. Over time, this oversight leads to faster wear, safety issues, and premature replacement.

At Total Quality Building Services, we help commercial, government, and residential properties protect their flooring through planned floor care programs that go beyond basic cleaning. If you want to reduce long-term costs and preserve your building’s professional appearance, commercial floor care services should be a key part of your preventative maintenance strategy.

Floors Take the Hardest Hit

Floors endure more daily wear than nearly any other surface in a building. Constant foot traffic, spills, dust, moisture, and furniture movement all contribute to deterioration. Without consistent care, hard surfaces like VCT, tile, stone, and concrete begin to lose their protective finish, become scuffed, and eventually break down.

The result? A once-shiny, durable floor now looks dull, uneven, and unsafe—and expensive refinishing or replacement becomes necessary far sooner than it should.

What Professional Floor Care Involves

Professional floor care includes more than just sweeping and mopping. Total Quality’s service plans include:

  • Stripping and waxing to restore shine and protect the surface

  • Buffing and burnishing to maintain a smooth, even appearance

  • Deep cleaning to remove grime and buildup from grout and textured materials

  • Scheduled maintenance that keeps finishes intact between deeper treatments

This combination not only enhances appearance but also builds long-term protection into your facility’s maintenance plan.

Extend Floor Lifespan and Reduce Costs

Investing in proactive floor care helps extend the life of your building’s most heavily used surfaces. By protecting the original finish and material integrity, you:

  • Delay the need for costly replacements

  • Prevent staining and surface damage

  • Improve resistance to moisture and chemical exposure

  • Keep your floors looking new longer

Well-maintained floors also require fewer repairs over time—saving money while keeping your property looking its best.

Improve Safety and Compliance

Slips, trips, and falls are among the most common liability issues in commercial and residential settings. Deteriorating floors, loose tiles, and poorly maintained surfaces all increase the risk of accidents. A floor care program that includes proper cleaning, drying, and maintenance reduces those risks and supports ADA and OSHA compliance for your property.

It’s not just about appearance—it’s about keeping people safe.

Total Quality’s Floor Care Approach

We service all major floor types, including VCT, ceramic tile, terrazzo, concrete, marble, hardwood, and more. Our floor care programs are:

  • Customized to your building type, traffic patterns, and surface materials

  • Scheduled to minimize disruption—after hours, weekends, or by zone

  • Backed by digital service tracking and inspection tools

  • Performed by trained technicians using commercial-grade equipment and GS-42 compliant products

Whether your building needs a one-time strip and wax or a long-term floor care schedule, we create a plan that supports both aesthetics and asset protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How often should floors be professionally maintained?

That depends on traffic and flooring type. High-traffic areas like lobbies and corridors may need weekly or monthly buffing and quarterly refinishing. Lower-traffic areas can be serviced less frequently.

2. What types of flooring do you service?

We maintain VCT, tile, terrazzo, concrete, marble, stone, wood, laminate, and more across a wide range of commercial and residential buildings.

3. What are the signs a floor needs refinishing?

If the finish looks dull, scuffed, or patchy—or if mopping no longer brings back shine—it’s time to schedule refinishing. Regular inspections can help prevent long gaps between treatments.

4. Will floor care disrupt building operations?

Not if it’s planned well. We offer after-hours and weekend service options, and can divide large buildings into zones to maintain traffic flow during business hours.

5. Is floor care really worth the investment?

Yes. Proactive floor care protects against damage, extends the lifespan of flooring materials, enhances your property’s image, and helps prevent costly slip-and-fall incidents.

6. Do you offer recurring floor maintenance programs?

Absolutely. We work with clients to build tailored, recurring maintenance plans that fit their operational needs, budget, and long-term property goals.
