Sandless Refinishing

Sandless Refinishing (also called buff & recoat) is a hassle free alternative to sanding and refinishing solid and engineered wood floors. This process is a maintenance or sprucing up procedure for floors that have not yet worn to the point of needing a full sand & refinish. Buff and recoat can be done in just a couple of hours. Businesses love this process because we can come in at closing and have the floors dried for opening the next morning.

The buff & recoat process involves buffing the floors to remove surface scuffs and scratches. Rhodes Hardwood uses state-of-the-art floor buffers that hook right up to a vacuum system. This makes the buffing process virtually dust free.

After the floor has been buffed and throughly cleaned, we apply a coating of an odorless, fast drying, fast curing & extremely durable Bona® floor finish. Choose between oil and water-based finish; available in satin, semi-gloss, and gloss. Additional coatings are available for 99¢ per square foot, or 2 extra coatings for $1.49 per square foot.

Please note: The buff and recoat procedure will not remove scratches, dents, or dings that have penetrated the top layer of finish. Generally floors that have not had much attention in 7 years or more will not be able to get away with this process. Also, floors that are discolored, or have areas that the finish has completely worn off can not be recoated.
