Grit From Parking Decks
Open decks and wind-driven dust deliver abrasive grit into the lobby daily. It behaves like sandpaper underfoot, and controlling it at the entrance extends finish life more than any extra coat.

Dallas, TX · Commercial Cleaning
A Dallas lobby floor is a leasing asset. It is the first thing a prospective tenant sees and the first thing an existing one points at when they are unhappy. The thing quietly destroying it is grit — walked in from open parking decks every day, ground underfoot, abrading the finish long before its time.
Stripping removes every layer of old finish and rebuilds it; a scrub-and-recoat renews the top layer only. Most buildings strip too often and recoat too rarely, which costs more and produces a worse-looking floor in between.
In multi-tenant property there is a second problem: the work has to happen without shutting a building that other people occupy. Phasing is the answer, and it needs planning rather than improvising.
Furniture moved, protected and returned
Old finish stripped back to the substrate
Hand-detailed edges, corners and cove base
Neutralising rinse before refinishing
Sealer applied where required by the substrate
Multiple coats of commercial finish with full cure between
Extra coats in lobbies and lift lobbies where traffic concentrates
Burnishing to the building's presentation standard
Work phased by floor or zone to avoid closing the building
Out-of-hours and weekend scheduling as standard
Entry matting assessed for grit control
Recoat schedule issued for the year
Notices for tenants can be issued ahead of each phase, with the areas and times specified. Most complaints about floor work are really complaints about not having been told.
Open decks and wind-driven dust deliver abrasive grit into the lobby daily. It behaves like sandpaper underfoot, and controlling it at the entrance extends finish life more than any extra coat.
The main lobby carries the building's leasing impression. It is scoped to a higher standard and a shorter recoat interval than back-of-house floors.
Floors and zones are done in sequence so the building keeps operating. Tenants get notice of what is happening and when.
Cold-weather grit and de-icing residue attack finish quickly. A recoat timed for after that period costs far less than a strip forced by the damage.
Traffic level and tenant impact set the specification:
The daily programme is what protects a floor programme. Where a porter is already on site, grit gets managed at the entrance before it reaches the finish.
We assess each floor and zone separately, because a lobby and a back corridor do not need the same specification or the same interval.
You get a phased schedule with tenant-ready notices, so the work moves through the building without generating complaints.
A dated recoat schedule goes with the finished floor, including a post-winter recoat where grit damage warrants it.
ABS cleans 500+ Texas facilities daily and holds a 4.9-star Google rating. Locally owned rather than a franchise, so phasing and notice periods are agreed with you rather than dictated by a template.
Foot traffic alone wears finish slowly. Foot traffic carrying grit wears it fast, because each particle is abrasive and gets ground into the surface with every step. Two identical buildings can be years apart on strip cycles purely because of what walks in the door.
Which is why the matting recommendation is not an upsell. It also protects soft flooring — the same grit is what wears out carpet in Dallas buildings.
