Hardwood Floor Recoating

Also, a lot of folks are a bit on the fence over whether or not fine hardwood floors should be recoated. We can help you determine whether or not this procedure is adequate for your flooring.
What Type of Coating Do You Use? The type of coating that we are going to use is going to depend on your floors and the look that you want to give them. We need to make sure that the new coating that we use whether that be polyurethane, penetrating oils, sealers, or whatever it is that we use has to be able to match the original coating. Otherwise, things can really go south, we would have to sand everything out thoroughly and essentially start over. We end up doing this a lot when folks go the DIY route and fail. A lot of times it’s just easier to call the pros the first time around. How Often Should I Think About Recoating?
