The process of re-coating, also known as a "buff & coat" or "sandless refinish", will help prolong the life of your existing floor with little inconvenience. Re-coating your existing hardwood floor is important for maintaining it's beauty and finish. Maintaining your re-coats is an inexpensive way to avoid more costly wood floor repairs in the future.
The process of re-coating your hardwood floor is simple. First, we give it a light buffing to abrade the existing finish. This process removes surface scratches from your floor and allows new finish to adhere properly to the wood. After this, we apply a new top coat of finish. This dust-free process takes just a few hours and you can be back on your floor the next day. We suggest re-coating your hardwood flooring every 3-5 years depending on traffic.
Please note: It is important that a flooring professional inspects your wood floor prior to re-coating. Dents, scratches through the finish, and discoloration will not be addressed with a re-coat. Oftentimes, sandless refinishing can make the damaged areas appear more prominent. In these cases, a re-sand is the best remedy. Also, floors that have been cleaned with products that contain oil will not allow the new finish to stick and may need to be re-sanded.
