Which one do I need?
Recoat, refinish or replace
Most hardwood floors don’t need replacing. Here’s how the three options compare. If you’re between two, pick the closest and we’ll confirm when we see the floor.
| Option | Best for | What happens | Change the color? | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buff and recoat | Dull finish, light surface scratches, wood still in good shape | Finish is buffed, not sanded off | No | Lowest |
| Full refinish | Deep scratches, gray or bare spots, stains, or a color you want gone | Sanded to bare wood | Yes, any stain or natural | Middle |
| New hardwood | No hardwood there, or boards too thin or damaged to sand again | New boards installed | Yes, any wood and finish | Highest |

Refinish or buff and recoat: which do I need?
If the finish is dull but the wood isn’t damaged, a buff and recoat usually does it. Scratches you can feel, gray or bare spots, or a color change mean a refinish. Not sure? We’ll tell you which it is when we see the floor.
Is it cheaper to refinish hardwood floors or replace them?
Refinishing almost always costs less, because the wood is already there and only the surface is renewed. Replacing means paying for new wood, installation and usually tearing out the old floor. Our instant estimate prices both for the same floor so you can compare.
Do you give free estimates?
Yes. In-home estimates are free. One of us comes out, measures, looks at the floor and gives you an exact price. You can also get a ballpark online in about a minute.
