Your floors may need
a strip job, not a replacement
A dull VCT floor, a scratched marble lobby, a hardwood that’s lost its lustre — most of the time, the problem isn’t the floor itself but the buildup of old wax, embedded dirt, and residue that’s masking its original beauty. Professional stripping followed by quality waxing can dramatically transform the appearance of your floors in just a few hours.
At Service Rafia, we use industrial equipment matched to each surface type and certified products to guarantee professional, lasting, and safe results.

4 concrete reasons to maintain
your floors professionally
Savings vs. replacement
Professional stripping and waxing costs a fraction of floor replacement. In most cases, a floor in poor condition can be restored to like-new by a professional.
Wear protection
A waxed floor is protected against scratches, stains, and spills. The wax layer absorbs impact and significantly extends the life of the floor.
Improved safety
A properly maintained floor reduces slip hazards — especially important in high-traffic commercial areas, corridors, and kitchens.
Professional image
Gleaming, immaculate floors immediately communicate professionalism and care. Your clients, tenants, and visitors notice it.

Questions about
floor stripping & waxing
What’s the difference between stripping and polishing?
Stripping is a deep treatment that completely removes all accumulated wax layers. Polishing (or buffing) is surface maintenance that revives shine without removing existing wax. Stripping is recommended every 6 to 12 months for high-traffic commercial spaces.
How often should commercial floors be stripped and waxed?
For high-traffic commercial spaces (school corridors, store floors, building lobbies): full strip every 6 to 12 months, monthly or quarterly buffing to maintain shine between strips.
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes — that’s our standard for commercial clients. Our teams work nights, weekends, or during planned closures to avoid disrupting your business. Floors must be cleared during the job and kept traffic-free while drying.
How much does floor stripping and waxing cost in Montreal?
The rate depends on surface type, area size, and current floor condition. We provide personalized quotes after a free inspection. Response within 24h.
Do you treat marble and natural stone floors?
Yes — we specialize in crystallization and polishing of marble, granite, travertine, and terrazzo. These materials require completely different techniques and products from VCT vinyl — improper treatment can permanently damage the stone. Trust the experts.
