What Is a Buff and Coat?
A buff and coat is a hardwood floor maintenance service that refreshes the look of your floors and adds a new protective layer without sanding down to bare wood. It is a cost-effective way to bring back the shine and extend the life of your hardwood before a full refinishing is ever needed.
Light Abrasion
The existing finish is lightly scuffed to give the new coat something to grip. The wood itself is not touched during this step. It is a gentle process that prepares the surface without removing material.
New Protective Finish
A fresh coat of durable protective finish is applied over the prepared surface. The result is restored shine and a new layer of protection that helps your floors hold up to everyday use for years longer.Most buff and coat services are completed in a single day with minimal disruption to your home and your routine.
Deep Cleaning
Before anything else, the floors are professionally cleaned to remove dirt, oils, and built-up residue. This step is important because anything left on the surface can prevent the new finish from bonding properly.

Wood Floor Cleaning
We remove all dirt, dust, and residue from the surface of hardwood floors without damaging the finish. Using the right products and method protects the finish between refinishing cycles and extends the life of your floors significantly.
Scrub
Run the commercial scrubber across the floor using a hardwood-safe cleaning solution at the correct dilution. The machine agitates and lifts embedded dirt and residue that a standard mop cannot reach.
Extract and Dry
The scrubber extracts the cleaning solution as it works, leaving the floor clean and nearly dry. Any remaining moisture is removed immediately to protect the finish and prevent water damage to the wood.Dry Clean First
Vacuum and then tack the floor to remove loose dirt, dust, and debris before any liquid touches the surface. Skipping this step grinds particles into the finish when you mop.
