HARDWOOD RECOATING · WHISTLER & SQUAMISH
Hardwood Floor Recoating in Whistler & Squamish
A fast, affordable refresh, fresh finish and new protection in about a day.
THE WORK
A quick refresh for tired finish
If your hardwood is still in good shape but the finish has picked up light scratches and wear, recoating is the quick fix. We buff the surface, give the new coat something to grip, and lay down a fresh layer of finish, far less involved than a full refinish.
When a recoat won’t do
If the wear runs deeper, we’ll point you toward a full refinish instead.
WHAT YOU GET

- More affordable than a full refinish
