Making Matters Worse, the Church Hired an Inept Contractor Before Finally Calling Us
Proving yet again, that you get what you pay for. The church hired a group to strip and wax the VCT floor tile Their bid was much cheaper than ours. But, after they broke the church’s $5,000 auto scrubber and left the vinyl tile floors in worse condition than they found it, the church called us.

Previous Contractor Allowed Floor Stripping Solution to “Lock-Up” Several Times
The biggest “no-no” in commercial floor care, is allowing dirty floor stripper solution to dry and re-harden. They didn’t do this once, but several times. Trying to remove locked-up floor stripper is incredibly time consuming and costly to the customer.

Hydrostatic Moisture Issues Forced a Compromised Solution on This Job
In addition to finding shoddy workmanship by previous workers, we also found moisture issues. After discussing their options, we agreed to do a strip (of what we could remove in one pass) and apply three coats of a commercial-grade, mid-solids floor finish. The goal was to make the vinyl floor tiles presentable until they fully assess their budget and obtain bids to address the moisture issues.
