A hardwood maintenance coat is a thin layer of finish applied to the surface of your hardwood floors to restore its protective layer, enhance its appearance, and extend its lifespan. It is typically a clear coat that provides added protection against wear, scratches, and stains without the need for sanding or refinishing.
We begin by assessing the condition of your floors to determine if a maintenance coat is the right solution. Our team will evaluate the wear and tear, finish condition, and overall appearance of your floors.
Before applying the maintenance coat, we perform a deep cleaning to remove dirt, dust, and debris. This ensures the surface is free of contaminants that could interfere with the new coat's adhesion.
To prepare the surface for the new finish, we lightly buff the existing finish. This is done carefully to avoid sanding through the finish, ensuring that the maintenance coat properly bonds to the surface.
Once the floors are prepped, we apply a thin layer of high-quality, durable finish. This coat enhances the floor’s appearance and provides an additional layer of protection against scratches, stains, and everyday wear.
After the coat is applied, we allow adequate time for drying and curing. Depending on the finish used, this process usually takes 24-48 hours, ensuring that the new coat is fully set and your floors are ready for use.
Once the maintenance coat is dry, we perform a final inspection to ensure a flawless finish. Finally, we walk you through the finished floor, ensuring that you are satisfied with the outcome. We also provide maintenance tips to help you care for your newly refreshed floors.
Most of the products on the shelves at your local hardware stores are designed for Corporate Profits and at best might improve your floor for only a few weeks. Please AVOID Polishes, Waxes, Oils, Soaps, and Watered Down Urethanes. These products are designed to put you in an Endless Cycle of continuous application and will prevent you from being able to properly maintain your floors.

Refinishing is a comprehensive process that involves stripping your floors down to the bare wood. On the other hand, a maintenance coat involves cleaning, buffing to remove surface scratches, and applying a fresh coat of finish to revitalize your floors. This regular maintenance not only enhances the appearance but also extends the life of your hardwood floors.
Determining whether your floors require a maintenance update or a full refinish can be complex and depends on various factors. For an accurate assessment, we recommend scheduling a quick consultation with our expert team. Contact us today, and our professionals will carefully inspect your floors to provide you with the most suitable recommendation.

While vinegar can be used for cleaning hardwood floors, there are potential risks associated with its regular use. The acidity in vinegar may compromise the protective bond coat of the hardwood, leading to color fading and possible water absorption, which can cause several issues. To ensure the longevity and beauty of your hardwood floors, it’s best to avoid using vinegar too frequently. Instead, feel free to reach out to our office for more of our specialized cleaner when you run out. We’ll be happy to provide you with the right products for safe and effective floor maintenance.
