VCT strip & wax, scrub & recoat, and commercial floor care for Scarborough offices, retail plazas, and warehouses. Kennedy Road, Markham Road, Ellesmere, Agincourt, and all Scarborough corridors. From $399.
Scarborough's commercial floor maintenance market reflects the area's density and economic diversity. The Kennedy Road and Markham Road retail corridors are home to dozens of strip malls, medical offices, and stand-alone commercial buildings with VCT floors that date from the 1980s and 1990s — the most maintenance-intensive floor type in this market. The Ellesmere Road and Warden Avenue industrial zone hosts light manufacturing, distribution, and trade operations that need commercial scrubbing and industrial floor programs rather than traditional wax. And the growing Scarborough Town Centre district hosts corporate and professional office tenants with high-traffic common areas requiring consistent, professional floor care.
VCT (vinyl composition tile) is ubiquitous in Scarborough's older commercial buildings — and requires proper maintenance to stay presentable and protected. The correct maintenance process involves chemically stripping all old finish down to bare tile, neutralizing the surface, and applying 3–5 coats of commercial floor finish using a rotary floor machine. Janitorial staff mopping over old finish without stripping it causes yellowing and wax buildup that accumulates over time, eventually requiring a restoration process that costs significantly more than routine maintenance would have.
Zusashi Maintenance has served Scarborough commercial facilities since 2007. We handle VCT strip and wax, recurring scrub-and-recoat programs, high-speed burnishing, and floor restoration for retail plazas, medical offices, warehouses, and office buildings across all Scarborough districts. All work is performed after hours. We carry $5 million in liability insurance and are fully WSIB compliant.
Full-scope commercial floor care for every floor type and facility in Scarborough
Complete removal of oxidized floor finish, machine scrubbing, and application of 3–5 coats of commercial-grade floor finish. The standard program for Scarborough retail plazas, medical offices, and commercial buildings along Kennedy and Markham Roads.
Light maintenance for floors that don't require a full strip. Machine scrub removes scuffs and surface dirt, then 1–2 finish coats restore sheen. Extends existing finish between full strip cycles — ideal for Scarborough office and retail environments with moderate traffic.
High-RPM buffing to restore gloss between maintenance cleans. Effective in Scarborough retail, grocery, and busy office lobbies. Significantly extends time between full strip-and-wax cycles when scheduled regularly.
Machine scrubbing for Scarborough warehouse and industrial floors — epoxy, polished concrete, rubber. Common in Ellesmere Road and Warden Avenue industrial parks. Heavy soiling from machinery and equipment requires commercial auto-scrubber equipment.
Correct maintenance programs for hardwood, LVT, and luxury vinyl floors in Scarborough offices and upscale retail. These floors require different chemistry than VCT — we use manufacturer-approved products that protect the finish without voiding warranties.
For Scarborough floors that have been neglected, damaged, or deeply yellowed from years of wax buildup. Restoration involves multiple strip passes and a fresh finish program. We assess restorability before quoting.
Scarborough's commercial real estate is dominated by the strip plaza format — hundreds of single-storey retail plazas along Kennedy Road, Markham Road, McCowan Road, Sheppard Avenue East, and Lawrence Avenue East. These plazas house a mix of retail, restaurant, medical, and professional tenants in buildings with original VCT floors. The VCT in these plazas ranges from well-maintained to severely neglected — the difference is entirely whether a proper strip-and-wax program has been in place. Neglected VCT develops thick, yellowed wax buildup that regular mopping can't address, ultimately requiring a restoration service that costs 2–3 times more than a routine maintenance program would have.
Scarborough's medical office cluster along Ellesmere Road, Markham Road, and McNicoll Avenue is a high-priority floor maintenance market. Medical offices require clean, presentable VCT in reception areas, hallways, and exam rooms — and many of these facilities are inspected by building managers or property owners who hold tenants to maintenance standards. Medical office floor care also benefits from the after-hours flexibility that ZMC provides: strip-and-wax services can be completed overnight without disrupting patient appointments or clinic operations.
The Ellesmere Road and Warden Avenue industrial corridor hosts light manufacturing, trade operations, and small warehouse facilities whose floors require a different approach than retail VCT programs. Industrial floors — typically epoxy-coated concrete or bare concrete — need commercial auto-scrubber maintenance and, in some cases, concrete sealing or epoxy touch-up to maintain a safe and clean working environment. These floors can be more complex to quote accurately and are always assessed on-site before pricing.
Zusashi's Scarborough floor maintenance programs are structured per-service with no mandatory long-term contracts. We'll walk your facility, assess your floor type and condition, and provide a written quote before any work begins. If your floors need a full strip, we'll tell you. If a scrub-and-recoat is sufficient, we'll recommend that instead.

We maintain VCT (vinyl composition tile), LVT (luxury vinyl tile), hardwood, polished concrete, epoxy, ceramic tile, and linoleum across Scarborough commercial properties. VCT strip and wax is the most requested service in Scarborough's retail plazas, medical offices, and older commercial buildings along Kennedy Road and Markham Road. We assess your floor type before recommending a program.
Yes. We regularly maintain floors in Scarborough's industrial parks along Ellesmere Road, Markham Road, and Warden Avenue, as well as retail plazas throughout the Agincourt and Scarborough Town Centre area. Each facility is assessed individually — industrial floors often require epoxy maintenance or commercial scrubbing while retail floors typically need VCT strip and wax programs.
Most Scarborough commercial floors benefit from a full strip and wax once or twice per year, with scrub-and-recoat maintenance every 3–4 months in between. High-traffic retail plazas and medical office buildings along Kennedy Road and McCowan Road typically need more frequent maintenance programs. We recommend a schedule based on your traffic volume after the initial floor assessment.
Yes. All Scarborough floor maintenance is scheduled after hours — evenings or weekends — at no extra charge. Strip and wax requires 4–8 hours of cure time, so we coordinate start times to ensure floors are fully cured and ready before your staff or customers arrive the next morning.
We cover all Scarborough districts including Agincourt, Malvern, Wexford, Scarborough Village, Port Union, Kennedy Road, Markham Road, Ellesmere Road, McCowan Road, Warden Avenue, and all surrounding commercial and industrial corridors. No travel surcharge for any Scarborough location.
