Strip and wax, scrub and recoat, burnishing, and tile and grout for Sisters’ commercial floors. It keeps a downtown floor working and presentable instead of dull and worn under the season’s traffic.
The floors downtown Sisters runs
Sisters’ hard floors are front-of-house: retail tile and VCT, gallery and tasting-room floors, restaurant floors, and lodging entries. They take concentrated event-weekend traffic and they sit on display a step inside the door, so their finish carries more weight than a back-room floor’s would. Winter is the hard part, the crushed cinder tracked off the sanded streets acts like grit paper on the coating, dulling the walking lanes all season.
The services and what each is for
Strip and wax pulls the old finish off VCT down to bare tile and rebuilds it in fresh coats, the full reset for a floor whose finish is spent. Scrub and recoat removes only the worn top layers and adds a coat or two, the faster, cheaper option when the finish is tired but not gone. Burnishing spins the surface to a hard shine that holds up through a busy run. Tile and grout gets a pressure-fed clean, sealed on request, which pays off in restaurant and restroom floors where grout soaks up soil quickly.
Choosing the right one
Look at the lanes against the room edges. Duller lanes that still carry finish call for a recoat, worth timing before the season. Lanes worn through to bare tile call for a strip. A uniform but flat shine usually just needs burnishing. Read it right and you save either way: recoating over dead finish gives the new coat nothing to grip, and stripping when a recoat would serve is money spent too soon.
Working around the trade
Refinishing wants stripper, standing water, and undisturbed dry time, so it runs after hours or, better in Sisters, in a slack week between event weekends when a shop or restaurant can give up the floor for a night or two without turning trade away. Burnishing and machine passes can often be done overnight.
FAQ
Can you refinish while we stay open?
No. Strip and wax needs chemicals, standing water, and cure time between coats, so we aim for after hours or the slow weeks. Burnishing can sometimes run overnight.
When’s the right time in Sisters?
The gaps between event weekends, plus a late-winter reset after a season of cinder grinding at the lanes, so the floor meets the busy stretch fresh.
Do you seal restaurant and restroom grout?
Yes, on request after cleaning. Sealed grout stays clean far longer in the floors that soil fastest.
