Signs Your Hardwood Floors Need Recoating
Dull or Faded Finish
The once-bright sheen of your floors has become lackluster.
Surface Scratches or Scuffs
Minor damage that doesn’t penetrate the wood can be repaired with a new coat.
Loss of Protective Layer
Floors feel unprotected or show early signs of wear.
Stains or Discoloration
Minor stains can often be concealed with a fresh coat of finish.
Our Hardwood Floor Recoating Process
At The Wood Floor Gallery Inc., we use a meticulous process to ensure a smooth, even finish that enhances and protects your floors.
01
Deep Cleaning and Preparation
We begin by thoroughly cleaning your floors to remove dirt, grime, and residue. This step ensures the new coating adheres properly for a flawless finish.
02
Light Abrasion
Next, we lightly abrade the existing finish to create a surface that allows the new coat to bond effectively without removing the original wood.
03
Application of New Finish
Our team applies a high-quality oil or water-based finish tailored to your needs, whether you prefer a satin, semi-gloss, or high-gloss look.
04
Final Touches and Inspection
Once the finish dries, we perform a final inspection to ensure your floors meet our high standards. Your satisfaction is our top priority.
Hardwood Floor Recoating vs. Refinishing
Recoating is often confused with refinishing, but they’re two different processes. Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide which service is right for you:
Recoating
Adds a new protective layer to the existing finish without sanding down to the bare wood. Best for floors with minor wear and surface imperfections.
Refinishing
Removes the existing finish and sands down the wood to address deeper scratches, stains, or damage. Ideal for heavily worn or damaged floors or if you want to change the color of your floor.
