Strip & Wax Floor Care Vendor (Subcontract) – Tampa Bay

E2E Cleaning Services • Tampa, FL

12d • Onsite

About The Position

E2E Cleaning Services is building a list of trusted floor care businesses for project-based strip and wax work at commercial client sites in Tampa Bay, including offices, medical clinics, schools, and community centers. Work is offered as projects arise. Vendors quote a price per square foot for each project, which E2E approves before work begins. Invoices are paid net 30.

Projects include preparing the area and protecting furniture and nearby surfaces; stripping the floor with suitable products and methods; rinsing or neutralizing and checking the floor for residue; applying sealer or hardener where appropriate and even coats of finish; cleaning up splatter and slurry; returning furniture; and completing a final walkthrough with an E2E supervisor, including any needed touch-ups.

Applicants apply through the posting and complete the application form with technical responses, recent commercial before-and-after photos, and three commercial references. E2E reviews the submission and may arrange a short call. For each project, E2E provides the scope, including square footage, floor type, condition, and access window. The vendor then quotes, completes the approved work, and walks through the job with E2E.
