💡 GOOD TO KNOW: What to Expect After a Hardwood Floor Buff & Recoat
✔️ A buff and recoat restores shine and adds a new layer of protection.
✔️ It is recommended every 3–7 years, depending on traffic and wear.
✔️ Minor surface scratches will become less noticeable.
✔️ Deep scratches, dents, and damaged boards will still remain.
✔️ A buff and recoat does NOT change the color of the floor.
✔️ Floors with worn-through finish or bare wood usually require full sanding and refinishing.
✔️ High-traffic areas may still show some signs of wear.
✔️ One new coat of finish helps extend the life of your hardwood floor.
✔️ Most projects are completed in just one day.
✔️ Preventive maintenance is much less expensive than a complete refinishing.
✔️ Regular maintenance can help your floor last for decades.
✔️ Use felt pads and avoid excessive water to protect the new finish.
✔️ Not every floor is a good candidate for buffing—an inspection is always recommended.
✨ A buff and recoat won’t make an old floor look brand new, but it can make it look refreshed and protected while delaying the need for a full refinishing.
