Professional VCT floor stripping & waxing

Greenbriar’s VCT smart save — How strip, steam & shine saved the Board thousands wowing them instead!

Sometimes the best solution isn’t a new floor — it’s finding the right team to bring the old one back to life.

That’s exactly what happened at Greenbriar, a vibrant retirement community in Brick, NJ with 1,900+ homes and a buzzing community center. The center is packed with activity spaces — a gym, woodshop, sewing and photography studios, a library, pool, and more. But its crown jewel is a massive 7,700 sq. ft. multi-purpose room, finished with VCT (vinyl composite tile).

Unfortunately, that floor had lost its shine — so much so that the Board of Directors was ready to tear it out and start over. That’s when their trusted carpet cleaner, Jack, stepped in.

The right advice at the right time.

Jack, a long-time service provider for the community, also installs flooring — but doesn’t do strip and wax work. Still, he knew the VCT didn’t need to be replaced. It just needed a proper deep clean and refinish. So, he did what any smart contractor would: he searched for a reliable, local company that specialized in floor restoration.

He found us.

What stood out to him? We’re family-owned, hands-on, and have the experience to back it up — no outsourcing, no shortcuts. Just skilled craftsmanship and proven results. We met Jack at the property, walked the project together, and put together a comprehensive plan to bring the floor back to life.

Our signature process: more than just a mop job!

Once the board approved the estimate, we got to work.

In just two days, our six-person crew tackled the job — and the transformation was nothing short of incredible. The key? Our secret weapon: steam rinsing.

Unlike traditional mop-and-bucket methods or basic shop vacs, we used our high-powered truck-mounted steam cleaning system to rinse over 900 gallons of near-boiling water across the floor. This high-pressure, high-temp rinse blasts through layers of dirt and old wax, prepping the surface in a way standard techniques just can’t match.

Only then did we lay down multiple coats of premium wax — resulting in a flawless, high-gloss finish that turned heads.

The reaction: shock, awe, and savings. . .

When the property manager and board members saw the final result, they were stunned. The floors looked brand new — brilliant, reflective, and completely revived. Not only did they avoid a costly and disruptive floor replacement, they saved thousands of dollars and weeks of inconvenience.

Even better? We equipped the staff with a simple maintenance plan to keep the shine going:

• Use a pH-neutral floor cleaner daily

• Dry mops properly between uses

• Replace or wash mop heads regularly

• Schedule a 6-month interim refresh — a light abrasion and fresh topcoat to extend the shine

Conclusion:  the residents raved and the board beamed—this floor’s comeback stole the show.

The Greenbriar project is a perfect example of what’s possible when smart decisions meet experienced execution. Stripping and waxing VCT may be a dying art — but for those who still need it done right, we’re here to deliver.
