Deliverables

Scope of work

  • Post signage; mask sensitive edges & thresholds
  • Chemical strip with dwell/agitation; slurry recovery
  • Neutralize & triple-rinse to target pH
  • Apply 3–5 coats high-solids finish (per spec)
  • Edge & corner detail; baseboard tidy
  • Final cure window + re-open guidance

Exclusions: asbestos-containing tiles (pre-1990s VAT), loose/delaminated flooring repair, subfloor levelling, stone/concrete polishing. We test for finish compatibility in a small area first.

Compliance

Protocols & safety

  • WHMIS-aligned; SDS on site; PPE; ventilation & runoff control
  • Slip-safety: cones/signage; egress kept clear
  • Auto-scrubbers/wet vacs for slurry capture
  • WSIB coverage & liability insurance (certificates)
  • Finish cure times respected before re-open

We coordinate with facilities to stage zones and minimize downtime.

Scheduling

Scheduling & frequency

  • After-hours or weekend windows
  • Annual or semi-annual cycles; interim burnish programs
  • Emergency restoration for inspections/events
