Is screen & recoat the same as full refinishing?

No. Screen and recoat is for floors that need a refreshed finish without full sanding — faster and less disruptive when the existing finish allows it.

Will it cover scratches?

It helps cover minor scratches and wear patterns. Deeper damage may need a different approach — assessed during your consult.

Screen & Recoat

When hardwood floors show wear but don’t need full sanding, screen and recoat lightly abrades the existing finish and applies a fresh protective coat. It extends floor life, improves durability and shine, covers minor scratches and wear patterns, and is faster and less disruptive than full refinishing.
