Diagnosing Your Floor's Finish

The finish on your hardwood floor has a dual purpose: to enhance the wood's appearance and color with a uniform sheen and to protect the wood from being damaged by the rigors of everyday life (or damaged by water damage.

When it comes to wood floor restoration, the finish is the first thing we look at.

• Is the finish intact, or is it worn away in places to bare boards?
• Are there scratches that go through the finish?
• Are there dents and gouges?
• Was the floor ever waxed?

Our technicians have the knowledge and experience to diagnose your floor's finish with confidence and to predict the likely outcomes of various hardwood floor refinishing options.

Screen and Recoat Vs. Sanding and Refinishing

When the existing finish is intact, then the scratches you see are literally on the surface, and we can refresh the finish with a screen and recoat. This involves roughening the top of the finish and afterwards applying the new coats of finish in your choice of sheen, from matte to high gloss. This renews the protection on your floor, but will not address any stains, dents, or scratches in the boards themselves.

When the finish has been worn away in places, the whole floor must be sanded and refinished because it is impossible to match an existing finish with a new finish - you will see the areas fixed because they will reflect the light differently. When a floor has been waxed, the wax must be completely sanded away, or else the new finish will react with the wax and peel away from the floor.

Sanding and refinishing also addresses damages like scratches, dents and gouges that can make a difference in your floor's appearance. The extra time and effort is well worth it when you see the gleaming results.
