Many homeowners assume their floors need sanding when the finish is the only thing that's worn out. A buff & coat restores the shine and protection without touching the wood underneath — and it's done in a single day.


We start by looking at the condition of your current hardwood floors to determine what makes the most sense — refinishing, a buff & coat, repair, or replacement. Our goal is to recommend the least invasive option that achieves the result you want.
You’ll receive a straightforward, written estimate that explains the scope of work, timeline, and finish options. We walk through the recommendations with you so you can make an informed decision without pressure.
Most of our projects happen in homes that are still being lived in. We protect surrounding spaces, communicate clearly throughout the project, and keep worksites clean and contained.
