Buff & Recoat Hardwood Floors | Restore Shine & Protection

Why Choose the Buff & Recoat Process?

When your hardwood floor begins to lose its shine, shows fine micro-scratches, or high-traffic zones appear worn, the buff & recoat process is an ideal solution.

No full sanding required — only the existing finish is lightly abraded (screened), and a new finish is applied.
Faster and less disruptive than full refinishing.
More cost-effective while still restoring the look and protective layer of the floor.
Extends the life and beauty of your hardwood flooring without major interruption.

Here’s What We Do For You

Inspection & Cleaning

We assess the floor condition to determine suitability for buff & recoat, and remove all dirt, dust and residues.

Fine Screening / Buffing

Using a screening pad or mesh under a buffer machine, we lightly abrade the top layer of finish.

Application of New Finish

After screening, we apply a new protective finish that restores the shine and durability of the surface.

Fast Cure Time

Depending on the finish selected, the area can be returned to light use quickly (often same day or next day).

Final Review & Cleanup

We inspect the result, ensure an even and lustrous finish, and clean up the site so you’re ready to enjoy your floor again.

Benefits for You

Revitalised Appearance – Your hardwood floor will look refreshed, with renewed sheen and clarity.
Extended Life Span – By maintaining the protective finish, you prevent deeper damage and delay the need for full refinishing.
Minimal Disruption – Faster service, less mess, less time out of your room or building.

When Buff & Recoat is Not Enough

You should opt for full refinishing (sanding to bare wood and applying new stain/finish) if:

1

There are deep scratches or gouges reaching the wood.
2

Finish is completely worn away and bare wood is exposed or discoloured.
3

The floor has been coated or cleaned with wax/oil-soap treatments that prevent proper bonding of new finish.
4

You wish to change the wood stain colour or tone significantly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used Wedgewoid floors on all my clients floors as well as my personal rentals and homes. Jon, the owner is great to work with, honest and works his magic on the floors that seem to not have life in them. I would reccomend him for any hardwood floor install or resurfacing needs a 100x over!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with John and the Wedgewood floor team was a very positive experience. He was able to get us in on short notice, help us choose a flooring option and color that was the best fit for our space, match existing wood, and improve our old wood transitions. He actively addressed any questions or concerns we had along the way as new wood floor people. Would absolutely recommend him and would work with him again in the future! His honesty, expertise, accountability are invaluable! Thank you John & team!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John was great to work with. From the first inquiry to the final meet he was quick, professional, clear and very fair. A few things were wonky on our floors and he steered us in a direction to make the stains show less while still achieving our desired look. Would recommend him and his company for anyone looking to refinish and/or match their hardwood flooring!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently hired John from Wedgewood Hardwood Floors to refinish my red oak floors, and the results are truly stunning. From the outset, John’s professionalism and expertise were apparent as he clearly explained the process and delivered exceptional craftsmanship. The floors now look brand new, with a flawless finish that beautifully highlights the red oak’s natural beauty. Three attributes particularly stood out:
First, John’s communication was clear and honest, offering two options without any pressure, prioritizing my satisfaction and understanding what would yield the best results.
Second, John and his team paid meticulous attention to detail, fixing a dislocated baseboard molding and filling larger voids before proceeding with the refinishing.
Third, when I expressed a desire for a smoother finish AFTER the work was completed, John promptly returned the next day to ensure complete satisfaction, demonstrating his commitment to going the extra mile. I highly recommend John and Wedgewood Hardwood Floors for anyone seeking top-quality hardwood floor refinishing- you will not be disappointed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wedgewood did a wonderful job.  We needed a couple of big patches and they turned out great.   John went out of his way to match the original flooring with salvaged maple flooring of the same age.  It looks great!  They were also punctual, efficient and reasonably priced.

His pricing is competitive and he's honest up front how much things will cost and doesn't add unnecessary work or costs. Thanks John!!
