Its pretty rare I encounter wax jobs, most homeowners are educated & know better but in this case the "marble contractor" waxed & ran 5 years ago & these people didn't know wax wasn't acceptable until yesterday.I used to spend most of my day helping people with upholstery cleaning problems. Now its area rugs and ceramic/stone floors....and 90% of the ceramic/stone problems are related to VCT floor finish issues.
This is an easy job to get done!
If this job is 1000 square feet, I could strip it refinish and regrout the entire floor for $7,500. This would take 5 days for three guys.
I would remove the lippage and polish it for $5000. This would take three days for three guys. Re-grouting would make it $7500.
I would strip it, refinish it with diamonds: likely 220, 400, 800 and 5X for $3,800 (on the high side). This would take two days for three guys. We would likely be able to restore the grout to pretty near like new condition. If a few lines needed replacing we would do that as a courtesy.
Here is an example of an 800 square foot floor stripped, refinished and polished in two days with two guys.
What tools do you use for the edges and corners, like the stair corners.
