Hardwood Floor Buffing & Recoating in Southeastern Wisconsin

Give your hardwood floors new life without the time or expense of a full refinishing. At Wicks Wood Floors, Inc, we specialize in buffing and recoating: a process that restores the beauty and protection of your floors by applying a fresh coat of finish over your existing surface.

It’s a quick, dust-controlled, and cost-effective way to keep your hardwood looking its best for years to come.


Contact Wicks Wood Floors today to learn how we can revitalize your hardwood surfaces.


What Is Buffing & Recoating?

Buffing and recoating is a maintenance service that:


  • Lightly abrades (buffs) the existing floor finish
  • Applies a fresh coat of protective polyurethane finish
  • Restores luster, durability, and protection against daily wear


This process does not remove deep scratches, stains, or color — but it can dramatically improve the look of floors that are dull or lightly worn.


Benefits of Buffing & Recoating

  • Cost-effective: A fraction of the cost of sanding and refinishing
  • Fast turnaround: Usually completed in a single day
  • Low disruption: Minimal dust and odor compared to full refinishing
  • Protective: Extends the lifespan of your hardwood floors
  • Restorative: Brings back shine and enhances the natural beauty of the wood


Is Buffing & Recoating Right for My Floors?

This service is ideal if your floors have:


  • A dull or worn finish
  • Light surface scratches or scuffs
  • Normal wear but no exposed bare wood


If your floors have deep scratches, discoloration, or damage through the finish into the wood, a full refinishing service may be the better option. Wicks can help you decide which solution fits your situation.


Our Buff & Recoat Process

  • Inspection: Assess your floors to confirm they’re good candidates for buffing
  • Preparation: Clean and lightly buff the existing finish
  • Recoat: Apply a fresh coat of polyurethane finish in your choice of sheen
  • Dry & cure: Floors are ready for light foot traffic within hours, with full curing in days

  • Owner-led consultations and honest recommendations
