Hardwood Floor Refinishing

Serving Greater Portland, Maine Area

Bring Your Hardwood Floors Back to Life

If your hardwood floors look dull, lightly scratched, or worn, screening and recoating can bring back their shine without full refinishing.

This is a great option when your floors need a cleaner, brighter look, but the wood itself is still in good condition.

How Screening and Recoating Works

Screening lightly roughs up the old finish so the new protective coat can bond properly and leave the floor looking smoother.

Think of it as a mini makeover for your hardwood floors. It helps restore the finish without the dust, time, and cost of sanding.

Screening vs. Sanding Hardwood Floors

Not every hardwood floor needs sanding. The right choice depends on the level of wear, scratches, stains, and overall floor condition.

If your floors only have surface-level wear, screening and recoating may save money while still giving your hardwood a fresh, polished appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hardwood floor screening and recoating?

Screening and recoating is a light refinishing process that prepares the existing finish and adds a fresh protective coat over your hardwood floors.

Is screening and recoating the same as sanding?

No. Screening works on the surface finish only, while sanding removes the old finish and a thin layer of wood from the floor.

When should I choose screening and recoating?

Choose screening and recoating if your floors look dull, lightly scratched, or worn, but do not have deep stains, damage, or exposed wood.

How long does screening and recoating take?

In many cases, screening and recoating can be completed in one day. Timing depends on the floor size, condition, and finish used.

Is screening and recoating cheaper than sanding?

Yes. Screening and recoating is usually more affordable than sanding because it takes less labor, creates less mess, and does not remove wood.

I had a massive sectional couch cleaned that my great dane dog practically lives on and I can't believe how nice and clean it is now. I'm so glad I picked Bone Dry and will definitely be using them again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't be more satisfied with the work Bone Dry did for me at the Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Kennebunk. I am the Chair of the Trustees at the Church and recently, Bone Dry was commissioned to clean the carpets in our Church. They did a wonderful job tackling every carpeted area, in our sanctuary, narthex, side rooms, altar area, corridors and stairs. They did it in a timely fashion and a reasonable price. Working with Noah was a dream. Kudos to Bone Dry!
