Hardwood floor maintenance & refinishing

Real hardwood floors bring warmth, character, and authenticity to a space

Each floor tells a story — shaped by natural grain, movement, and time. No two are ever the same, and that individuality is what gives hardwood its lasting appeal.

When maintained with intention, hardwood floors don’t just last — they continue to elevate the environments where people live, work, and gather

A maintenance coat is one of the most important — and most overlooked — parts of long-term hardwood floor care.

If your floors were sanded and finished 2 to 10 years ago, this service can restore their appearance, protect your investment, and save you thousands compared to full resanding.

Because you live on your floors every day, these changes often go unnoticed — until the finish is worn too thin.

That’s usually when homeowners hear:

“Unfortunately, they need to be sanded again.”

Using a fine screening process, we:

Lightly abrade the existing finish

Clean and prepare the surface

Apply a new coat of professional-grade polyurethane

This allows the new finish to bond properly, restoring a smooth, consistent sheen across the entire floor.

With water-based finishes, many homeowners are back on their floors the same evening

Our specialty is site-finished wood floors — a traditional approach that creates a flat, seamless, and fully sealed surface

While site finishing is more labor-intensive, it delivers results that factory-finished products simply cannot:

No micro-bevels

A smooth, uniform surface built to last

This level of precision allows the floor to age beautifully and be maintained properly for years to come.

When maintenance is no longer enough, craftsmanship matters.

At Insight Hardwood Coatings, hardwood floor refinishing is more than a process it's a craft built on integrity, skill, and attention to detail.

Refinishing becomes the right solution when floors have worn beyond the protective finish, experienced water damage, or simply need a complete reset.

In these cases, restoring the wood itself is the only way to achieve lasting results.

We use professional-grade finishes and materials chosen for durability, performance, and long-term results.

Our experience spans both oil-based and water-based, allowing us to recommend finishes and sheens based on the needs of your space

Over time, premium wood floor sanding has become less common. Many projects now rely on pre-finished materials designed for speed rather than longevity

At Insight Hardwood Coatings, we continue to practice and protect the art of traditional refinishing — not because it’s faster, but because it’s better.

With years of experience and a commitment to quality, we transform worn floors into refined, durable surfaces that elevate the entire space and add long-term value.

Over time, dirt, residue, and buildup settle into the natural grain of hardwood floors — areas that routine sweeping and mopping can’t fully reach

Our deep cleaning service removes embedded debris at the surface level, restoring clarity and consistency without altering the existing finish.

The result is a cleaner appearance and a refreshed feel throughout the space.

Hardwood deep cleaning is ideal for maintaining floors in high-traffic environments and preparing spaces for occupancy, sale, or ongoing care

Wax, oil, and acrylic-based floor products can build up over time, leaving hardwood floors darker, uneven, and difficult to maintain

Many store-bought treatments create residue that attracts dirt and interferes with the floor’s natural finish.

This buildup can prevent new protective coatings from bonding properly, often leading to the belief that full sanding is the only option.

Our wax removal process safely strips these residues and thoroughly cleans the surface, restoring clarity and preparing the floor for proper care.

In cases of heavy buildup, screening and recoating may be recommended to achieve the best possible finish and long-term results.

At Insight Hardwood Coatings, our work is guided by craftsmanship, transparency, and respect for the spaces we work in

With experience across installation, restoration, maintenance, and care, we focus on delivering the right solution — not the most aggressive one.

Every project begins with a complimentary, no-obligation assessment. We take time to understand concerns, evaluate the condition of the floor, measure the space, and note any previous treatments or products that may affect the outcome.
Clear expectations matter

After the assessment, we provide a concise estimate and explain available options without pressure or urgency.

In many cases, floors are excellent candidates for a screen and recoat, restoring appearance and protection in a single day

When contamination or buildup is present, deep cleaning may be recommended before recoating

If a floor has worn beyond the protective layer, refinishing becomes the appropriate solution. We are upfront about when maintenance will no longer deliver lasting results — integrity matters more than upselling.
