First , I would recommend my maintenance training class to
totally understand the maintenance process.
However, I can tell you if done correctly you can guarantee
your customer for as long as you maintain the floors using your recommendation
they will never pay for restoration again.
When doing maintenance this way you will do spot diamond honing,
spot repolishing and if you want you could lightly ( very Lightly) crystallize
the floor.
The times does not change don’t necessary change, you
still will have scratches or etching to remove , you may start at a higher grit
than normal .
By using a light application of Crystallizer it will extend the cycle
of the maintenance, however you MUST have a good rotations to remove the crystallization
on a every 3 to 4 month cycle.
Maintenance contract need to be set up monthly, not quarterly. The
only way that quarterly will work would be in a very small lobby.
A good maintenance program allows you work on the entire
building once every quarter under a monthly contact.

Subject: [sccpartners] Converting a project to monthly maintenance
Hi We have a condo marble lobby floor that we have
refinished each year for the past 3 years. The management would like us to
convert this to a maintenance program. Most of what we do is full restoration
and relatively little maintenance We just finished the floor in October
and the floor is showing significant wear in spots (e.g. in front of elevators
and desk, and hardly scratched in others). I have a pretty good idea of what to
do to get the whole thing back up to speed, but then, assuming I can stay on
top of it so that the floor only needs regular polishing, what are people's
experience as to polishing regularity? My knee jerk is to polish the
worse areas every month, the best (hardly touched areas) every 6 months and in
between ears every quarter. Is it advisable to do more than that? Even more
than once per months or the worse areas?
Second, if an area that has some gloss to it is re-polished,
is it safe to assume less than 2 minutes per 10 sf area?
Third, I have not worked with crystallizers on a regular
basis and have seen what extensive crystallizing does to floors, but is it safe
to crystallize every so often just to give the floor some pop?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Baird
