Buff and Coat Service

 We started in 2010. We are insured and locally operated serving the Chicago near and far west suburbs.

We deep clean floors with a machine buffer (to remove dirt and cleaning product residue), then lightly sand the floors with a dustless process (to buff out ugly scuffs and surface scratches and prepare the floor for new finish). Finally we apply a new top coat of finish.

Just one day! We start around 8am and are typically done by late afternoon. You can walk on the floor in your socks just a few hours after we are done.

We can change the finish sheen with our process, but not the stain color. We offer Matte, Satin, Semi-gloss and Gloss finishes…….whichever the customer prefers.

We apply a premium water based urethane that has low odor and low VOC’s. The finish comes from a German company with over 90 years of finish manufacturing experience.

Not really…there is some odor while we are cleaning and applying the finish, but the odor dissipates by the end of the day. If we were applying oil based stains and finish like with a deep full sanding, those odors might linger for weeks.

Yes….almost every flooring job we work on has a need for a spot repair. In those areas, we apply extra personal attention by hand scraping boards, applying a stain to match the surrounding floor, and we provide extra finish to these areas so it won’t wear out so fast again.

For the most part yes. If the floor is made of real wood, regardless of species (Oak, Maple, Cherry,etc…), then we can renew it with a Buff & Coat process. If it is not real wood (like a laminate or Pergo type product), it will not work.

Yes….we do this by hand sanding them, then apply finish to renew and bring back the color to the wood and finish them with a nice finish of your choice.

Every floor renewal project is different, but typically a Buff & Coat floor renewal comes in at about half the cost of a full re-sanding. Your cost will depend on a number of factors: How large an area is being renewed; whether furniture moving is needed; are their worn spots needing extra repair, etc.
