Commercial Stripping & Waxing in the Treasure Valley
Restore worn, dull commercial floors with professional stripping and waxing from Howard’s. We provide floor-care services for offices, schools, medical facilities, retail properties, apartment communities, churches, and other commercial buildings throughout Boise and the Treasure Valley.
Our Working Process
Step 1
Inspecting & Preparing
We assess the floor’s material, existing finish, and overall condition to determine the
appropriate restoration process. We then prepare the work area and remove loose debris
before beginning.
Step 2
Stripping the Old Finish
Using professional stripping solutions and floor equipment, we remove worn layers of
floor finish, along with embedded dirt and buildup. This prepares compatible flooring for
a clean, uniform new finish.
Step 3
Cleaning & Neutralizing
After stripping, we thoroughly clean and rinse the floor to remove leftover stripping
solution and residue. Proper preparation and drying are essential for helping the new
finish adhere correctly.
Step 4
Applying & Finishing
We apply appropriate layers of commercial floor finish to restore shine and provide a
protective surface. Once the finish has properly set, we review the results and explain the
recommended curing time and maintenance procedures.

Bring Worn Commercial Floors Back to Life
Howard’s provides commercial floor stripping and waxing throughout the Treasure Valley, with service built around the floor type, traffic, condition, and operating schedule of the facility.
A proper strip-and-finish service removes old, worn finish where appropriate and replaces it with a fresh protective finish designed to improve appearance and make routine maintenance easier.
Protect the Finish With Ongoing Floor Care
Stripping and waxing is only one part of a strong floor-care program. Routine dust mopping, damp mopping, machine cleaning, burnishing, spot care, and periodic recoating can help extend the life of the finish and maintain appearance between full strip-and-finish services.
Howard’s can coordinate floor care with recurring janitorial service so daily maintenance and periodic restoration work together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is commercial floor stripping and waxing?
Floor stripping and waxing is a restoration process that removes worn floor finish where appropriate, prepares the surface, and applies new protective finish to improve appearance and help protect the floor.
What types of floors can be stripped and waxed?
The service is commonly used on VCT and other compatible resilient commercial flooring. Our team evaluates the floor before service to determine the appropriate process.
How many coats of floor finish do you apply?
The number of coats depends on the floor, traffic, condition, desired appearance, and maintenance plan. Howard’s customizes the process for the facility.
