What is Hardwood Screening & Recoating?

What is Hardwood Screening & Recoating?

Your hardwood floors are a valuable part of your space, adding warmth, beauty, and character. With our hardwood screening & recoating services, you can quickly and effectively renew your floors without the need for a full refinishing. This process restores the luster and durability of your floors, ensuring they look their best for years to come.

A Refresh Without the Mess

Hardwood screening and recoating is the perfect solution for floors that show light wear but don’t require a complete refinishing. Unlike sanding, which removes the entire top layer of wood, screening involves lightly abrading the floor’s surface to remove imperfections. We then apply a fresh coat of finish, enhancing your floor’s appearance and providing a layer of protection against future wear.

How is it Different from Sanding and Refinishing?

While sanding and refinishing are ideal for floors with significant damage or deep scratches, screening and recoating are best for floors that need a touch-up. This process is less invasive, quicker, and more cost-effective, making it a popular choice for maintaining the beauty of your floors without the downtime of a complete overhaul.

The Floor Pro Process

Making Your Floors Look Like New

Step

Initial Assessment and Consultation

We begin with a detailed assessment of your hardwood floors to determine if screening and recoating are the right options for you. Our team evaluates the floor’s condition and listens to your needs and preferences.

Step

Screening

We lightly abrade the surface of your floors to remove minor scratches and prepare them for a fresh coat of finish. This process is dust-minimized, so your home or business stays clean throughout the service.

Step

Recoating

Next, we apply a new layer of high-quality finish. Whether you prefer a satin, semi-gloss, or high-gloss look, we have options to match your style. The fresh coat not only restores the floor’s appearance but also adds a protective layer to keep it looking great.

When to Consider Screening & Recoating

When to Consider Screening & Recoating

Screening and recoating are ideal for floors that:

  • Show signs of light wear, such as minor scratches or a dull finish.
  • Have lost their sheen but are otherwise in good condition.
  • Need a maintenance refresh to prolong their lifespan and enhance their appearance.
  • Are located in high-traffic areas like living rooms, hallways, offices, or retail spaces, and need a quick, effective touch-up.

For commercial clients, we recommend screening and recoating every 3–5 years to maintain a professional and polished look that aligns with your brand’s image.
