Screen, Buff & Recoat
A fast, affordable refresh that abrades and recoats the top layer of floors still in good shape, no deep sanding, minimal downtime, and a like-new sheen.
Screen, Buff & Recoat in Irving & the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex
If your floors are dull but the wood underneath is still in good shape, you may not need a full refinish at all. A screen and recoat lightly abrades the existing finish and lays down a fresh protective topcoat, restoring the sheen in a single day with no deep sanding and no dust storm. It is the smartest way to keep floors looking new and stretch the years between full refinishes.
What you get
- No deep sanding required
- One-day service in most homes

Our Process
How screen, buff & recoat works
Check the finish
We confirm the wear is only in the finish, not the wood, so a recoat is the right call.
Screen the surface
We lightly abrade the existing finish so the new coat bonds properly.
Recoat
A fresh, durable topcoat goes down for a like-new sheen, usually dry the same day.

Screen, Buff & Recoat questions
Is a screen and recoat cheaper than refinishing?
Yes, significantly. Because there is no deep sanding or staining, a recoat is faster and more affordable, ideal for floors that are dull but not damaged.
How often should I recoat my floors?
Every three to five years for busy homes. Regular recoats protect the wood and can delay a full refinish for many years.
