Here are some common hardwood floor problems and solution if your floor needs an extra attention.        

• Water Damage- One of the most common hardwood floor repairs. Having water on your hardwood floors won’t destroy it. However, prolonged exposure to water will in fact cause the wood to rot and deteriorate. Depending on the size of the damaged area, it can usually be fixed within one day.
• Floor Gouges- Another common hardwood floor repair is a gouge. A gouge is simply a hole or very deep scratch in your floor. But easily fixed as well when done by a professional.
• Floor Gaps- It’s a noticeable separation between two or more boards in a room, or throughout your house. Humidity is the single biggest contributing factor for floor gaps. Gaps are an expected seasonal change in hardwood floors, however there could be different reasons for a bigger gap; in that case a repair is required.
• Buckling- This is the most extreme reaction to moisture in hardwood floor. Buckling occurs when the wood flooring actually pulls up from the subfloor, lifting several inches in one or more places. If caught early, spot repair and replacement may be possible.
• Cupped Floors- This is when  the edges of a board are higher that its center, due to moisture coming from underneath which causes the wood to expand.
• Split and Cracked Floors- When homes are heated in the winter, boards can shrink, and spaces appear between the boards.

Screen and Recoat Hardwood Flooring in Westchester NY & Fairfield CT

Screen and Recoat

Prevent wear and tear maintaining your floors.

    With the wear & tear from everyday use, many hardwood floors have lost the beauty they once had. Daily traffic and life’s events will bring this type of expected wear to any wood floor. Traditionally, the only restorative solution used to be sanding down to bare wood and refinishing completely. That’s still an option, but is not always the best or most affordable option and that is where resurfacing comes to play.

Hardwood Floor Resurfacing

     We can restore the original shine of your wood floors without the dust, mess or odor typically associated with hardwood refinishing. The ideal floor that is eligible for resurfacing rather than complete refinishing is a floor that has some visible wear with light scratches. The finish is pretty much intact with no signs of bare wood. Separations or warping between the boards are minimal and the majority of the floor is in good shape overall. Abrading the existing finish with a buffer and then applying a finish coat before your floor’s finish is completely worn down, will reduce the need for a complete re-sanding. If you care for your floor properly, you can re-coat and delay the need for a complete re-sand and refinish, which will save you a significant amount of time and money.  Many people mistakenly refer to the screen and recoat process as “buffing hardwood floors”. This mistake is common and somewhat founded since the machine used for the screen and recoat process is… a floor buffer. However, instead of a standard buffing pad, a thin screen is used. Using the on the buffing machine, the floor is lightly scuffed up.  We call this process “screening” the floor. After the screen has been completed, polyurethane is applied to the floor. This part of the process is known as recoating This service is noninvasive to both the flooring and your family. Resurfacing does not affect the color or integrity of the wood; it doesn’t create airborne dust or fumes and it is completely safe for your family. There is no reason to vacate your home and n0 mess.
