Hardwood Floor Maintenance & Recoating in Metro Detroit
Keep Your Floors Looking Their Best, Year After Year
Hardwood and specialty floors are an investment and like any investment, they need proper care to stay beautiful and strong. At Floors Restored, our maintenance services are designed to protect, refresh, and extend the life of your floors so they continue to look stunning for years to come.
Across Metro Detroit, we help homeowners keep hardwood, engineered, and specialty floors looking their best with cleaning, recoating, and protective care tailored to how each floor is built and used. Staying ahead of wear now means your floors keep their shine — and you avoid the cost and disruption of sanding them down to bare wood later.
Why Choose Floor Maintenance?
Regular maintenance is the difference between refinishing your floors every few years and enjoying them for decades. A little professional care keeps the finish intact, so dirt and moisture never reach the wood underneath — protecting your investment for far less than the cost of a full restoration.
We tailor our services to the needs of your flooring, ensuring the right solution every time:
- Deep Cleaning & Polishing Removes dirt, grime, and buildup while restoring shine.
- Recoating & Touch-Ups Adds a fresh protective layer to maintain durability and beauty.
- Scratch & Spot Repair Quick fixes that restore uniformity without full refinishing.
- Protective Treatments Sealants and finishes that guard against spills, stains, and wear.
Benefits of Professional Maintenance
- Extends the life of your hardwood or specialty flooring
- Prevents fading, scratches, and surface damage
- Preserves the beauty and value of your home
- Cost-effective compared to full restoration or replacement
Our Floor Maintenance Approach
Inspection & Care Plan
We start with a detailed assessment of your floors to recommend the best maintenance schedule and treatments. We check the finish, look for early wear, scratches, and moisture issues, and build a simple maintenance schedule matched to your floors and foot traffic.
Routine Cleaning & Protection
Using professional tools and safe products, we deep clean and recoat floors to restore luster and shield against damage. Our pH-balanced cleaning and screen-and-recoat service lift built-up grime and lay down a fresh protective layer without the mess of a full sanding.
Ongoing Support
From seasonal touch-ups to long-term maintenance programs, we provide reliable service to keep your floors looking like new. We can set you up on a recurring plan so recoats and touch-ups happen on schedule, keeping your floors protected season after season.
Signs It’s Time to Maintain Your Floors
Floors rarely fail overnight — they fade a little at a time. Catching wear early lets us protect the finish with a simple recoat instead of a full refinishing. It may be time for maintenance if you notice:
- A dull, hazy look that no longer shines even after cleaning
- Fine surface scratches and scuffs in walkways and doorways
- Water spots or a rough, worn feel underfoot
- Gray or darkened areas where the finish has worn thin
- Grit that won’t sweep away, or new squeaks
- It’s been more than a few years since your last recoat
If any of these sound familiar, a professional cleaning and recoat can restore the shine and add years of protection — long before the floor needs to be sanded back to bare wood.
How Much Does Floor Maintenance Cost?
Maintenance cost depends on a few things: the total square footage, the service your floors need (deep cleaning, screen-and-recoat, or spot repair), the type and condition of your existing finish, the number of rooms, and whether you want a one-time visit or an ongoing care plan. Recoating an entire floor costs far less than sanding it down and refinishing it from scratch.

Hardwood Floor Maintenance FAQs
How often should hardwood floors be recoated or maintained?
For most homes, a screen-and-recoat every three to five years keeps the finish healthy, with routine cleaning in between. Busier households and high-traffic areas may need it sooner. We assess your floors and recommend a schedule that fits how you live.
What’s the difference between recoating and refinishing?
Recoating adds a fresh protective coat over your existing finish without sanding down to bare wood — it’s faster, more affordable, and nearly dust-free. Refinishing sands the floor to bare wood and starts over. Regular recoats delay the need for a full refinishing for many years.
How much does floor maintenance cost?
It depends on the square footage, the service you need (deep cleaning, recoating, or spot repair), the type and condition of your finish, and whether it’s a one-time visit or an ongoing plan. There are no hidden fees — you get a written estimate up front. Call (248) 842-8686 for a free quote.
Can you fix scratches without refinishing the whole floor?
Often, yes. Surface scratches and worn spots can usually be blended with spot repair and a recoat, so there’s no need to refinish the entire floor. Deep gouges that reach the wood may need more extensive work, and we’ll tell you honestly which you’re dealing with.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance plans?
Yes. We can set up a recurring schedule for cleaning, recoating, and seasonal touch-ups so your floors stay protected without you having to remember to book it.
Are you local and insured?
Yes. Floors Restored LLC is locally owned in Livonia and fully insured, and we serve homeowners throughout Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties.
