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
If the finish is mostly intact but has minor scratches, a screen and recoat is a great solution. This process involves lightly scuffing the surface of the existing finish, followed by the application of a fresh layer of finish in your choice of sheen (from matte to high gloss). This renews the protective coating and restores the shine, but does not address deeper issues like dents, gouges, or stains in the wood itself.
If the finish has worn away in places or if there are deeper damages, the floor will need to be sanded and refinished. In this case, it's important to fully sand the surface, as it's impossible to match an existing finish with a new one, and mismatched areas will reflect light differently. Additionally, if your floor was ever waxed, we will completely remove the wax before refinishing to ensure the new finish adheres properly.
Sanding and refinishing will also address deep scratches, dents, and gouges that may affect the appearance of your floor. Though this process requires more time and effort, the end result is a beautifully restored floor that looks fresh and vibrant again.
