Transform Your Floors Today

 If your hardwood floors have light surface blemishes and scratches, our screen and recoat service may be the best option for floors; especially if your floors have lost their sheen and are no longer appealing like they once were. Our screen and recoat process is for light, surface-level scratches on your hardwood floors where the layer of is wearing down. Our screen and recoat service does not however remove scratches that have gone down deep into the grain of the wood. 

 We call this our 1 Day Sand-Free Refinishing Service where floor sanding is not necessary. The recoating process provides 2 additional protective layers using a commercial-grade polyurethane. This can last anywhere from 3 to 5 years depending on lifestyle and floor traffic. The extra wear layers also makes the floor look better with a heavenly sheen. Our refinishers come in satin, semi-gloss and high gloss. If you are unsure how deep the scratches on your floors are, give us a call. We would be happy to come out and assess your floors and provide you with options for making your floors look great again. 

The difference between screening & recoating and fully sanding comes down to the level of floor preparation and the amount of work needed to restore the hardwood floors. Each method has its own benefits depending on the condition of your floors and your desired results. Here's a breakdown of both:

Screening & recoating is a less invasive and quicker process that is ideal for floors that only need a light refresh or maintenance. Here's what it involves:

• Screening: This is a light abrasion process in which the existing finish on the hardwood floor is lightly scuffed or "screened" with a sanding machine that uses a fine abrasive pad. The goal is to roughen up the top layer of the finish (not the wood itself) to prepare it for a new layer of protective finish.
• Recoating: After the screening, a fresh coat of polyurethane or other finish is applied directly over the existing finish. This rejuvenates the shine, protects the wood, and covers minor scratches or imperfections.

• Quicker Process: Screening & recoating can usually be completed in just one day.
• Cost-Effective: Since it's less labor-intensive, it is typically more affordable than full sanding.
• Minimal Disruption: There is no need to completely remove the old finish, so it’s less messy and there is no need to move furniture or rugs.
• Preserves the Original Finish: If the original finish is still in good condition and you just want to restore the gloss, this method works well.

• Floors that are still in good shape, with minor wear and tear or dullness.
• Homes or businesses that need a fast, affordable solution.
• Floors that just need a refresh without deep damage (e.g., minor scratches, fading, etc.).

Fully sanding is a more comprehensive and thorough process that removes the entire top layer of finish and can even remove some of the wood’s surface. This method is typically used when the floor is severely damaged, or the finish has worn off entirely. Here's what it involves:

• Sanding: The entire surface of the floor is sanded down to bare wood using powerful sanding equipment. This process removes deep scratches, dents, discoloration, and old finish. Depending on the condition of the floor, multiple sanding passes may be required to smooth out imperfections and prepare the wood for refinishing.
• Staining & Finishing: Once the sanding is complete, you can apply a fresh stain (optional) to change the color of the wood, followed by a new protective finish, such as polyurethane.

• Restores Floors to Like-New Condition: Sanding removes all surface damage, including deep scratches, stains, and wear, leaving the wood looking fresh and smooth.
• Customization: You can change the color of the wood with staining during the refinishing process, giving you more design flexibility.
• Long-Lasting Results: The new finish applied after sanding tends to last much longer, as the finish bonds directly to bare wood.

• Floors with significant damage (e.g., deep scratches, stains, discoloration, or heavy wear).
• Homeowners looking to change the color of their floors with a custom stain.
• Those who want a completely smooth, fresh surface and are not concerned with a quicker or cheaper process.
