Elite Floor Care Specialist LLC provides VCT strip and refinish services for commercial properties across Hampton Roads, offices, medical facilities, retail, schools, and government buildings.
The process is done by Gene's own team, after hours when needed, so your operation doesn't have to work around us.
What the Process Actually Involves
Surface-level buffing isn't a strip-and-refinish.
A true strip involves removing all existing finish layers down to the bare tile, stripping chemical, mechanical abrasion, thorough rinse, complete dry before a single coat of finish goes down.
Elite applies commercial-grade coatings in multiple layers, with proper dwell time between each coat, so the finish bonds correctly and holds up under wheeled traffic, foot traffic, and cleaning cycles.
The result doesn't look tired by Tuesday.
What You Can Expect
After a proper VCT strip and refinish by Elite, the finish will hold its shine and traction between services, not just for the first week.
The drying time is real: we won't tell you the floor is ready before it actually is.
After-hours scheduling is standard, so the work happens when your building isn't occupied and the floors are open for cure time before the morning crew arrives.

• After-hours scheduling standard — no disruption to your operation
• Commercial-grade finish applied in multiple coats for durability

Questions Hampton Roads Businesses Ask
Here are some of the frequently asked questions about our floor cleaning services that we get from some of our Hampton Roads Businesses:
Q: How often should VCT be stripped and refinished?
A: Most commercial VCT programs run on a quarterly or semi-annual cycle depending on traffic volume, facility type, and the number of coats currently on the floor. A medical corridor with wheeled equipment traffic needs more frequent attention than a low-traffic back office. We'll tell you honestly what we see when we quote the job.​​
​
Q: What's the difference between a strip-and-refinish and a buff-and-recoat?
A: A buff-and-recoat is a maintenance step, it scuffs the existing finish and adds a thin layer on top. It improves appearance short-term but doesn't address buildup, yellowing, or adhesion problems in the base coat. A full strip removes all existing finish layers so new coatings bond to bare tile. When the floor has visible yellowing, embedded soil in the finish, or finish that's peeling or flaking, a strip is what's needed.​​​​
​
Q: Do you work in occupied buildings?
A: Yes, with after-hours scheduling. VCT strip-and-refinish produces fumes during the stripping phase that require ventilation, so we schedule the work when the building is unoccupied and coordinate cure time so the floors are ready before the morning crew arrives.
