What is Screen & Recoating?

If your hardwood floors have light surface scratches or blemishes, my screen and recoat service might be the perfect solution. This service is ideal for floors that have lost their original sheen and appeal, addressing surface-level imperfections without the need for full sanding. However, while deep scratches into the wood won’t be removed by this process, I can still freshen up heavily damaged floors and protect them from further wear and tear.

Known as a sandless refinishing service, the screen and recoat process adds two layers of commercial-grade polyurethane, providing extra protection and enhancing the floor’s appearance with a fresh, beautiful sheen. Depending on your lifestyle and floor traffic, these protective layers can last 3 to 5 years. Choose from satin, semi-gloss, or high gloss finishes to match your style.

Not sure how deep the scratches are? I’d be happy to come by, assess your floors, and recommend the best option to make your hardwood floors look amazing again. Reach out today to schedule your consultation!

Screen and Recoat vs. Full Sanding: What’s the Difference?

When it comes to restoring hardwood floors, it’s important to understand your options. A screen and recoat is a sandless refinishing process ideal for floors with light surface scratches, dull finishes, or minor blemishes. This process preserves the existing finish while adding two layers of protective commercial-grade polyurethane, leaving your floors refreshed and protected.

For floors with deep scratches, gouges, or discoloration, a full sanding—which removes the finish entirely and takes the wood back to its raw state—may be required. While I don’t offer full sanding, I can still address heavily worn floors with a screen and recoat, helping to freshen them up and protect against further wear and tear.

If you’re unsure what your floors need, I’d be happy to assess their condition and recommend the best solution. Let’s work together to bring your hardwood floors back to life!
