Dustless Sanding & Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Over time, even well-maintained hardwood floors can lose their shine and show light signs of wear. If your floors are still structurally sound but look dull or lightly scratched, floor recoating is an effective and cost-efficient solution. At MSTA Hardwood Flooring, we provide professional hardwood floor recoating services that restore beauty and protection without the need for full sanding.
Serving homeowners throughout the Chicagoland area, we help extend the life of your floors while minimizing downtime and disruption.
What Is Floor Recoating?
Floor recoating is a maintenance process that involves lightly abrading the existing finish and applying a fresh protective coat on top. Unlike full refinishing, recoating does not remove the wood surface itself — only the worn finish layer.
This service is ideal for floors that:
Have surface scratches or scuffs
Appear dull or faded
Still have an intact finish with no exposed wood
Benefits of Hardwood Floor Recoating
Restores Shine and Protection – Brings back a clean, refreshed look
Faster Than Refinishing – Typically completed in one day
Less Disruption – Minimal dust and odor
Cost-Effective – Lower cost compared to full sanding and refinishing
Extends Floor Life – Protects hardwood from future wear
Recoating is one of the best ways to maintain your floors and delay the need for full refinishing.
Our Floor Recoating Process
1. Floor Evaluation
We inspect your floors to confirm recoating is the right solution. If deep damage or bare wood is present, we’ll recommend refinishing instead.
2. Surface Preparation
The floor is thoroughly cleaned and lightly screened to ensure proper adhesion of the new finish.
3. Protective Finish Application
We apply a high-quality, durable finish designed to withstand daily foot traffic and protect against moisture and wear.
4. Final Inspection
Once the coating cures, we review the results to ensure a smooth, even, professional finish.
