Floor Waxing Dunwoody: What a Full Refinish Includes
By the DBS Cleaning Services Team · · 6 min read
Dunwoody buildings tend to have long-tenured vendors and floors that have quietly drifted, which means the first useful question is usually not what a refinish costs but whether you need one at all. Floor waxing Dunwoody offices buy should start with an honest assessment.
A lot of floors here are over-stripped
Where nobody has scheduled maintenance, the default becomes an annual full strip. That works, and it slowly wears out the tile, because every strip removes a little more.
A burnish-and-recoat rhythm keeps most floors out of full-strip territory entirely and costs less over any multi-year view.
Switching is easy and the savings appear in the first year, which makes it one of the simpler wins available to a facility manager.
What floor waxing Dunwoody buildings involves
Prep and protection, stripping, hand-detailing edges, solution recovery, neutralize and rinse, seal where required, multiple thin coats with real cure time, burnish.
Perimeter and Ravinia tenant space is carpet-heavy with vinyl tile in service corridors, so refinish work concentrates where you can close overnight.
Medical and dental practices here need phased, low-odor handling like any occupied clinical space.

The December shutdown is the best window
Corporate Dunwoody empties out around the holidays, which makes it the one reliable stretch for work needing an area genuinely out of service.
Quarter-end is the secondary option. Scrub-and-recoat fits on normal overnight shifts any time.
Those windows book up early, so a December program wants deciding in October.
Most commercial cleaning gets sold on price per square foot, then quietly handed to whoever was cheapest and free that night. That’s why quality slides after month two — the scope was never real to begin with. We build yours from an actual walkthrough of your actual building, on your actual hours. Then we send the same crew who learned it. Boring? Completely. It’s also the only thing that makes month five look like month one.

Thin coats, real cure time
Finish laid too thick never fully hardens. It marks under chair legs, scuffs under carts and greys in traffic lanes within weeks.
Multiple thin coats with the manufacturer’s actual cure time take longer on the night and last dramatically longer in service.
ISSA production data assumes correct coats and cure as standard; a quote well under the rest has usually removed something.

What to ask before approving
Ask for a straight strip-versus-burnish assessment. Ask what a maintenance rhythm would look like.
Ask how many coats and how much cure time. Ask whether they neutralize.
Ask what happens if the finish fails inside ninety days.

Frequently asked questions
Should we be stripping every year?
Probably not. Annual full strips usually mean nobody scheduled maintenance. A burnish-and-recoat rhythm keeps most floors out of full-strip territory and is cheaper over time.
When is the best time to schedule?
The December shutdown is the most reliable window for corporate space, with quarter-end as a secondary option. Book a couple of months ahead.
Why do our floors mark so easily?
Usually finish applied too thick, which never fully hardens. Multiple thin coats with proper cure time hold up far better.
Can you work in our dental suite?
Yes, phased overnight with low-odor products so it is usable by the first appointment.
Do you move furniture?
Yes, and we put it back. Flag anything we should not touch.
