Hardwood Maintenance Coat Before Full Sanding
If your hardwood looks dull, scratched, or tired, it may not need full sanding yet.
A maintenance coat can help protect the floor and freshen up the look when the existing finish is still a good fit.
What is a hardwood maintenance coat?
It is also called a screen and recoat. We prepare the existing finish so a new protective coat can bond to it.
It can help dull floors
Great when the finish looks tired but the wood is still protected.
It is not full sanding
It does not remove deep damage, change stain color, or fix major bare wood.
Timing matters
The best time is before the protective layer is completely worn away.
We will tell you honestly.
A maintenance coat works best when the floor has dullness and light wear, but not deep bare wood everywhere.

Maintenance coat questions.
Plain answers for homeowners deciding between cleaning, coating, and refinishing.
How long before I can walk on it?
Walk-on time depends on the coating and conditions. We explain the exact timing before we leave.
Does it fix deep scratches?
No. Deep scratches, gray wood, and major wear-through may need full refinishing.
Is it cheaper than sanding?
Usually yes, when the floor is a good fit. It is meant to protect the floor before bigger work is needed.
How do I maintain it?
Use the right cleaner, avoid harsh products, protect high-traffic areas, and schedule maintenance before the finish fails.
