Floor Strip and Wax on 4 Units for Madera Housing

Property managers know the pressure of a unit turn. Every day a unit sits vacant is money left on the table. Getting floors cleaned, stripped, and waxed across multiple units - all at once - takes a crew that knows what they're doing and can move efficiently without cutting corners.

We handled a 4-unit turn for Madera Housing, and floors were the main event. The process starts with stripping - pulling up all the old wax buildup that's accumulated over time. That old finish traps dirt, scuffs, and stains, and no amount of mopping gets rid of it. You have to get it off the floor completely before you can put anything new down.

Once the strip is done, we apply fresh wax coats to protect the tile. This is where the work really pays off. A solid wax finish doesn't just make floors look clean - it creates a barrier that holds up against daily foot traffic, furniture, and general wear. For a housing unit that's going to see a lot of use, that protection matters.

The rotary floor machine does the heavy lifting on the strip phase, agitating the stripper solution into the old finish so it breaks down evenly. From there, the wax goes down in smooth, even coats. The result is a floor that reflects light clearly and feels genuinely clean - not just wiped down.

Across kitchens, hallways, and living spaces, every room got the same treatment. No shortcuts from room to room. That's what it takes to hand a unit back to a property manager with confidence.
