How to resolve the Pricing of Floor Stripping and Waxing Services
A lot of customers and service providers ask what are the mean prices for stripping and waxing the floor. Nationally prices mean in the middle of 30 to 60 cents per sq.ft.
How to resolve the Pricing of Floor Stripping and Waxing Services
But in order to evaluation the price you all the time need to think many supplementary factors:
1) What is the size of the job (the bigger the job, the smaller the price per sq ft). If you need a cleaning enterprise so strip/wax the floor in your large building, you can expect lower prices per sq. Ft. However if you are looking to strip and wax relatively small area, the prices can get higher. Also cleaning fellowships have minimum prices which are in the range of $ 150 - $ 200. So even if you need to have a floor cleaned only in one small restroom, you may be charged $ 150 - $ 200 for that. Make sure to find out what is the minimum payment before hiring market cleaning company.
2) making ready time. When estimating the price cleaning fellowships think how much time they need in order to put in order for the job. If the area is on the first floor it takes less time to bring the equipment there than bringing the equipment to the 10th floor. Also if the cleaners have to strip/wax the hallway that has rug on the sides, they need to tape off the carpeted area to make sure no explication ends up on the carpet. This requires supplementary time and brings the price of floor cleaning services up.
3) travel distance. It's preferred to hire local fellowships if you want to save on stripping/waxing services. The fellowships that are supplementary may count the travel time and fuel expenses into the final price.
3) Wax buildup. When there is a lot of old wax on the floor cleaners may have to strip it a few times, therefore supplementary products and labor have to be used.
4) bright furniture. If the cleaning enterprise has to move the furniture (tables, chairs, mats etc) before/after the job, the price is usually higher up to 20 %.
5) Stripping and waxing baseboards. When you want a cleaning enterprise to strip and wax baseboards it's also reflected in the price which becomes higher.
6) Edge work. The more edges in the room, the more time the cleaning enterprise has to spend using doodlebugs and scrapers in order to take off wax edges and corners and prices go up.
7) amount of halt coats. The more coats are put on the floor, the higher the price.
8) Type of floor (new/old). It's usually easy to strip the new floor therefore the prices are lower for stripping new floor. Older floor may have been neglected or may have a lot of wax buildup on it and stripping it will want supplementary time. The price for stripping older floor may be higher.
9) Staining of the floor. If there are a lot of stains on the floor like rust or if there are a lot of deep scratches supplementary time is needed to scrape them off with scrapers. supplementary information cleaning will bring the price up.
10) Fixtures to work around. If there are a lot of fixtures that are staying in the room (refrigerators, furniture, equipment) during stripping/waxing, cleaning enterprise will have to spend supplementary time working colse to them or bright them and the price may be higher.
11) Type of products used during stripping/waxing. Some cleaning fellowships may payment you less for floor stripping/waxing services, but it may be only because they use cheap products. But cheap products have a lot of downsides, cheap floor finishes tend to come to be yellow and wear off much faster. Other enterprise may payment you a wee more, but they may be using better products that speak the appearance of your floor and last longer. So for example, you can pay one enterprise $ 500 for the job, but because of their cheap products you will have to re-wax in 4 months. Other enterprise may payment you $ 550, but because of good products you may not have to re-wax for 6 month instead of 4. Using the second enterprise will be more cost productive for you in the long run. all the time find out what floor finishes are used for the job. Hillyard and Johnson floor finishes are the best floor finishes on the market these days.
12) Location of janitor closet. during the stripping/waxing job cleaning fellowships need to travel from their working area to the janitor closet very often in order to get water, empty wet vacuum etc. Where is the janitor closet located? If it's far from the working area cleaners will spend a lot of time just bright back and forth and the prices may be higher.
13) amount of electric outlets in the floor. If there are a lot of electric outlets in the floor cleaners will need to tape them so the stripping solution/water doesn't get there. It requires supplementary time and brings the prices up.
14) One time cleaning or service contract. If you are using the cleaning enterprise for just a one-time cleaning, you may expect higher prices. However, if you have a maintenance compact (like buffing the floor once per month of scrubbing/recoating services once a quarter) you can ask for a discount. Also you can expect a reduction if you are using a enterprise that already provides market cleaning services to your construction (example - regular janitorial services 3/5 days per week).
I hope that this description will help enterprise owners to get an idea about the pricing of floor stripping and waxing services. Also I hope that new cleaning service fellowships will learn about what to look for when estimating a floor cleaning job.
