Does your home’s hardwood flooring look dull, scratched, or simply worn out?

At The Countertop Wizard, we specialize in bringing the life back to your floors, serving homeowners and businesses throughout the Raleigh-Durham area.
Here’s everything you need to know about transforming your hardwood floors:
What’s the Difference: Refinishing vs. Recoating?
The first step is understanding what your floors need. The solution depends on the level of wear and tear.
Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Refinishing is a comprehensive process that restores floors with significant wear, deep scratches, or water damage. It’s the ideal choice for floors that are beyond a simple touch-up.
Our process involves:
- Sanding: We use a professional, dustless sanding system to remove the old finish, deep scratches, and imperfections, revealing the beautiful, raw wood underneath.
- Staining: We can apply a new stain to change the color of your floors or use a natural finish to highlight the wood’s original beauty.
- Sealing & Finishing: We apply multiple coats of a durable finish to protect your floors and give them a brand-new look.
Hardwood Floor Screen and Recoat
If your floors are in good shape with only light surface scratches and a dull finish, a screen and recoat is the perfect solution. It’s a faster, less expensive, and less invasive process.
The benefits of a screen and recoat include:
- Fast: The process is typically completed in a single day.
- Cost-Effective: It’s a fraction of the cost of a full refinish.
- No Dust: Since there is no heavy sanding, there is virtually no mess.
Introducing Our UV Cure Option: Instant, Same-Day Results!
The biggest challenge with traditional floor finishes is the long wait time for the finish to cure. With our UV cure option, that’s no longer an issue.
We apply a specialized UV-cured finish that is instantly hardened with a powerful UV light. This means your floors are fully cured and ready for foot traffic as soon as we leave.
Key Benefits of UV Cure:
- Same-Day Use: Walk on your floors immediately after we’re finished.
- Durable Finish: Provides a strong, long-lasting protective layer.
- No Downtime: Perfect for businesses or busy families who can’t wait for floors to dry.
