Hardwood Floor Recoating in Wake Forest, NC
Wake Forest has seen significant growth across communities like Traditions, Holding Village, and Heritage, many built with solid hardwood floors in the 2000s and 2010s. These floors are now 10 to 20 years old and often showing finish wear in traffic lanes without damage to the wood. A screen and recoat with Bona Traffic HD is the right service when you want to restore the floor's appearance without full refinishing costs or downtime.

A screen and recoat, also called a buff and coat or hardwood floor recoating, is the process of applying a fresh layer of finish over your existing floor without sanding down to bare wood. We lightly abrade the current finish using a buffer and screen pad to create adhesion, then apply one to two coats of Bona Traffic HD. It is the right service when the finish is worn but the wood is still in good condition.
Most screen and recoat jobs are completed within six hours. Your floors are ready for light foot traffic within 24 hours and back to full use within 3 days with Bona Traffic HD.
Refinishing sands the floor down to bare wood and allows a complete stain color change and full surface restoration. Recoating adds a new topcoat without sanding to bare wood. Recoating is faster and less expensive, but it cannot change the stain color or address damage that has penetrated the wood itself. We assess which option is right during the free in-home visit.
Yes. Engineered hardwood can be recoated using the same screen and recoat process as solid hardwood, as long as the existing finish is worn but intact and the surface is not damaged. Recoating is a preferred maintenance strategy for engineered floors because they have a thinner wear layer that should not be sanded repeatedly.
We use Bona Traffic HD exclusively for recoating. It is the hardest water-based finish on the market, GREENGUARD certified for indoor air quality, and cures in 3 days. Your refreshed floor will hold up to daily life far longer than a standard recoat product.
