Hardwood Floor Refinishing & Recoating
Hardwood floor cleaning and screen-and-recoat services renew a compatible worn finish without automatically sanding the floor to bare wood.
Request An AssessmentWhat This Service Can Address
Dull finish, light surface scratches and traffic wear can hide the character of a sound wood floor. Wax or acrylic polish can also create a cloudy appearance. We distinguish removable buildup from finish wear before recommending hardwood restoration.
Choosing The Right Treatment
A screen and recoat lightly abrades an existing compatible finish before a fresh polyurethane coat is applied. This is different from full sanding and restaining. Deep scratches, exposed wood, incompatible coatings and a desired color change require a separate assessment; cleaning or recoating cannot correct every kind of damage.
Surface Care Options
Hardwood Floor Cleaning
Cleaning addresses embedded soil and suitable residue before hardwood floor recoating is considered. The existing finish determines whether cleaning alone or a screen and recoat is the next step.

Questions About Hardwood Floor Refinishing & Recoating
Is Screen And Recoat The Same As Sanding And Refinishing?
No. Screen and recoat renews a compatible existing finish. Sanding removes finish and wood at a deeper level and may be needed for a color change or substantial damage. We assess which approach is appropriate before defining the work.
Can Cleaning Fix A Cloudy Hardwood Floor?
It may help when the cloudiness is caused by residue or removable polish. If the finish itself is worn or damaged, cleaning alone may not restore its appearance. Tell us which products have been used.
How Much Does Hardwood Floor Restoration Cost?
Price depends on the area, finish compatibility, preparation and condition. Request an assessment for project pricing. In-home consultations are $50; the restoration work is quoted separately.
