Restore the shine, protect your floors, and make a lasting impression
Priority One Maintenance provides floor stripping and waxing for suitable commercial floors in St. Albert. From downtown storefronts to offices in Campbell and South Riel business districts, we plan the work around access, furniture and the time your facility can stay closed.
Entrance grit, winter salt and repeated foot traffic can leave VCT finish dull or uneven. We assess the floor and existing coating before removing worn finish, cleaning the surface and applying compatible protective coats. A sound finish may need maintenance instead of a full strip.

Planning floor care for St. Albert businesses
Downtown St. Albert storefronts often need a closure plan that keeps customer entrances clear. In Campbell and South Riel, an office or staff room may need different care from an adjoining shop floor. We assess each surface separately and agree on furniture moving, water access and ventilation before work begins. Winter entrance grit also makes matting and routine soil removal important after refinishing. Read our Edmonton guide to stripping, waxing, buffing and burnishing to compare options before requesting a site assessment.

Floor Stripping & Waxing – St. Albert FAQ
What types of floors can be stripped and waxed?
Commercial VCT with a compatible finish is a common candidate. In St. Albert retail units, offices and common areas, we identify the flooring and check its care requirements first. Some modern vinyl systems require a different maintenance method; we do not assume every resilient floor should be stripped and waxed.
How often should a floor be stripped and waxed?
The condition of the finish matters more than a fixed calendar. A busy St. Albert entrance may wear faster than a low-traffic office. We look for embedded soil, uneven buildup and worn protection, then recommend a full strip or maintenance of a sound coating.
What is the process for floor stripping and waxing?
Remove old finish using a professional stripping solution
Machine scrub and thoroughly rinse the floor
Apply multiple coats of high-quality industrial floor finish
Allow proper drying time between coats
Inspect the finish and confirm drying, cure and ongoing care requirements
Do you offer floor maintenance programs?
Yes! We provide recurring maintenance to keep your floors looking their best year-round. Custom schedules available for:
Retail stores
Fitness centres
Restaurants
Warehouses & industrial floors
How long does a strip & wax take and when can we reopen?
We confirm downtime during the site assessment. Floor area, old buildup, furniture, coat count, airflow and the chosen finish affect drying and cure time. Your reopening plan must follow the product requirements; foot traffic, furniture and machine cleaning may need different waiting periods.
Do you work after-hours or weekends?
We can plan evening, overnight or weekend service around St. Albert business hours, subject to availability. Please share opening times, tenant access and any deliveries so we can agree on a practical closure and reopening plan.
Is stripping and waxing messy or smelly?
The work area is kept separate from customers and staff while stripping solution and wet finish are present. We plan ventilation, safe access and waste handling with the site contact. Tell us about occupied adjoining rooms or sensitive operations before scheduling.
Do you provide a quote before starting the job?
Yes. For a St. Albert quote, send the address, approximate floor area, flooring type if known, photos of wear and the available closure window. Our site assessment confirms the condition, access and preparation needed before we provide a written scope.
