If your wood floors have lost their luster but aren’t quite ready for a full sanding and refinishing, As Clean As It Gets Carpet Cleaning has the perfect solution.

We serve homeowners and businesses throughout Jacksonville, Richlands, and Hampstead with professional "Screen and Recoat" services designed to restore your floor's brilliant shine and add a fresh layer of protection.

From scuffed hallways in Jacksonville military housing to sand-worn living rooms in Hampstead, we help your hardwoods look beautiful again without the mess or expense of a total overhaul.

Our Core Service Areas

• Jacksonville: Perfect for refreshing rental properties or military housing floors between tenants.
• Richlands: Ideal for removing the dullness and light scratches caused by busy families and pets.
• Hampstead: Specialized care to remove coastal grit and salt film, restoring a smooth, protective finish.

What is a Screen and Recoat?

Unlike a full sand-and-refinish, which removes the wood's surface, a Screen and Recoat (often called a "buff and coat") focuses on the top layer of finish. We lightly abrade (screen) the existing finish to remove surface scratches and scuffs, then apply a high-quality, professional-grade topcoat.

Our process is perfect for:

• Dull & Lifeless Floors: Restoring the original "pop" and glow of the wood grain.
• Light Surface Scratches: Smoothing out the wear and tear from shoes and pets.
• Preventative Maintenance: Adding a new wear layer to prevent the need for costly sanding later.
• Quick Turnarounds: Most floors can be walked on in socks within hours, not days.

The Benefits of Screening & Recoating

Choosing a screen and recoat over a full refinish saves you time, money, and hassle while keeping your floors protected from the humid North Carolina climate.

Why homeowners love this service:

• No Dust Storms: Since we aren't sanding down to bare wood, there is minimal dust involved.
• Fraction of the Cost: Get the look of a new floor at a much lower price point than refinishing.
• Fast Results: We can typically complete the entire process in a single day.
• Enhanced Protection: A fresh topcoat seals the wood against moisture and spills.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a Screen and Recoat or a full Refinish?
If your floors are just dull and have light scratches, a screen and recoat is usually enough. However, if there are deep gouges, grey "bare wood" spots, or water damage, a full sanding may be necessary.

How long until I can move furniture back?
While you can usually walk on the floors in socks after a few hours, we recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours before moving heavy furniture or letting pets with claws back on the surface.

Will this remove deep scratches?
A screen and recoat removes surface-level scuffs in the finish itself. It will not remove scratches that have penetrated through the finish and into the actual wood.
