Buff and Re-coat your existing Hardwood in Seattle, Wa

Every home and business owner knows that hardwood flooring requires a healthy amount of upkeep to ensure it maintains its original qualities. However, no matter how diligent you are with the maintenance, a buff and coat will be necessary overtime. Why will your hardwood floors need a buff and re-coat when you are the ideal hardwood floor caretaker? Well, every hardwood floor is covered with either  a polyurethane coating or water base coating and this coating will protect from everyday wear and tear but overtime, it wears down leaving the wood vulnerable to damage.

This coating can take a good amount of abuse, but once its wears to a thin layer, it’s time to contact hardwood flooring professionals for a buff and coat to ensure no extensive damage occurs. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and minor repairs, can prolong the life of the coating, but eventually, the coating will thin out. This is where buffing hardwood floors becomes essential. Buffing helps to remove minor scratches and scuffs and prepares the surface for a new coat.

flooring can be brought back to life with a buff and recoat, but don’t expect deep scratches and dings to be removed. The same holds true for removing paint that may have been splattered over the years. Frequent screen and coat applications can protect, postpone or eliminate the need for a complete refinishing at a later date.

Your Essential FAQs on Choosing the Best Buff and Recoat!

Buff and Re-coat is a process that refreshes the surface of your hardwood floor without the need for a full sanding. The top layer of finish is lightly buffed, or abraded, to remove surface imperfections, then a new coat of finish is applied, restoring the floor’s original shine and protection.

It’s recommended to buff and re-coat hardwood floors every 3-5 years, depending on the amount of foot traffic and wear. Regular maintenance helps preserve the floor’s finish and delays the need for a full sanding and refinishing.

Buff and Re-coat revitalizes the appearance of your floors, adds a protective layer, and prolongs the life of your hardwood. It’s more cost-effective and less invasive than a full refinishing, offering a quicker turnaround with minimal dust.

If your floor has minor wear and surface scratches but is otherwise in good condition, Buff and Re-coat is likely the right choice. However, if the finish is worn through or there is significant damage, refinishing may be necessary.

To maintain your newly buffed and recoated floors, regularly sweep or vacuum to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh cleaners, and use felt pads on furniture legs to prevent scratching. A professional cleaning once or twice a year is also recommended.

The process typically takes one day for most homes. The buffing is completed in a few hours, followed by a fresh coat of finish that requires drying time, usually within 24 hours.
