After a hardwood floor is cleaned, HydroClean can apply a protective sealer or coating for homes and businesses in Jackson and West Tennessee. We have access to specialty sealers and coatings that protect the floor and can change its look and feel. The technician checks the finish first, because a coating does not suit every floor.

Cleaning takes off what is on the floor. Protection is the other half. Once a wood floor is clean, we can apply a sealer or coating so that daily wear lands on that layer first.

We have access to specialty sealers and coatings that can change the look and feel of a floor while they protect it. If you have a project in mind, or you want a different look from the floor you have, call us and tell us about it.

A coating has to go on a clean floor with a sound finish. Put over residue or old polish, it seals the problem in. So the technician checks the finish first and the floor is cleaned before anything is applied. If your floor is not a good candidate, we will say so.

This is different from a screen and recoat, which abrades the old finish and puts a new topcoat on it. We will tell you which one fits your floor when we look at it. Call (731) 437-0006 or send an estimate request.

Benefits of Hardwood Floor Protection

  • Protection applied to a clean floor
  • Options that can change the look and feel of the floor
  • The finish is checked before we recommend anything
  • Makes the most sense in entries, kitchens and hallways

Who This Is For

  • Homes with dogs, kids or a busy entry hall
  • Anyone who has just had their hardwood cleaned
  • Owners who want to change the look of a floor
  • Businesses with wood floors that take traffic

Our Process

  1. Check That the Floor Is a Candidate

    The technician checks the finish and looks for wax, polish and worn-through spots. A coating will not suit every floor.

  2. Clean First

    The floor is deep cleaned and rinsed before anything is applied. A coating over residue seals the residue in.

  3. Choose the Product

    We talk through what you want from the floor, protection only or a change in the look, and choose the sealer or coating for it.

  4. Apply and Let It Cure

    The coating goes on evenly and is left to dry. We tell you when you can walk on it and when rugs and furniture can go back.

  5. You Look at the Floor

    You get a chance to look at the work before we leave.

What's Included

  • A check of the finish and the condition of the floor
  • Cleaning before any coating goes on
  • A sealer or coating chosen for your floor
  • Dry and cure times
  • A chance to look at the work before we leave

Realistic Results, Honestly

We would rather set an honest expectation than make a promise we cannot keep.

  • A coating is not refinishing. A floor that needs sanding will still need sanding.
  • It will not fill or hide scratches, gouges or pet claw marks.
  • It wears, and that is what it is there for. The busiest areas go first.
  • It does not suit every floor. Waxed floors and floors with worn-through spots are poor candidates. We would turn the job down before we coat a floor that will not hold it.

Safe for Your Family and Pets

Stay off the floor until we tell you it is dry, and keep pets off a little longer, because claws can mark a coating that has not cured. Rugs go back after it has fully cured. If someone in the house is sensitive to odors, tell us before the job.

What Customers Say

  • “They cleaned my hardwood floors in a 20 year old home we just purchased. Most of the floors had some smeared greasy coating that I just could not clean. They were fast and professional and effective. They were able to remove the build up and my floors look beautiful now. Will use them again and highly recommend.”

They cleaned and resealed my ceramic tiles and it has been unbelievable how colors came back.Really enjoy the new shine.They also cleaned some of my wood floors with same great results.Friends coming in always are stopped by the floor appearance. I definitely will recommend hydroclean and David's group.I will use them again.Great job!!”

Hardwood Floor Protection Questions

Is this the same as refinishing my floor?

No. Refinishing sands the old finish off and builds a new one. This is a sealer or coating applied over a clean floor with a sound finish. It is also different from a screen and recoat, which abrades the old finish first.

Will it hide my scratches?

No. It coats the surface. It does not fill it. Deeper scratches and claw marks will still show.

Can a coating change how my floor looks?

Some can. We have access to specialty sealers and coatings that change the look and feel of a floor while protecting it. Tell us what you have in mind and we will tell you what is possible on your floor.

How long does it last?

It depends on traffic. Entry halls, kitchens and hallways wear first. Ask us about your floor when we look at it.

Can you put it on a waxed floor?

Not over the wax. A coating will not bond to it. The technician checks the finish before recommending anything.

Wondering about cost? We do not post prices, but you can see what affects the price of hardwood floor cleaning.
