Recoating and maintenance
A fresh coat before it wears through
The cheapest refinish is the one you never need. While the finish is intact, a new top coat brings the floor back for much less than sanding it to bare wood.
A hardwood floor is protected by its finish. While that finish is intact, a new top coat can bring the floor back for much less than sanding it down to bare wood.
When to have your floor looked at
We recommend having hardwood checked every two to five years. How fast a finish wears depends on:
- dogs or kids in the house
- high heels worn indoors
- whether the wood is a soft species or a hard one
- the cinder and pumice tracked in from outside, which acts like sandpaper
What we do
We look at the floor, tell you honestly whether a recoat is enough, and if it is, we clean and prepare the surface and apply a fresh coat of finish. If it isn't, we'll tell you that too.
Common questions
How often should hardwood floors be recoated?
We suggest a check every two to five years. Busy homes with pets and kids need it sooner.
Is a recoat cheaper than refinishing?
Yes. A recoat adds a coat of finish without sanding to bare wood, so it costs less and takes less time. Regular recoats are how you avoid paying for a full refinish.
