Had a Buff & Coat That Failed?
Peeling, blotchy, bubbling, or wearing through in months? Send us three photos – we diagnose for free. Sometimes a professional ReCoat works. Sometimes the finish has to come off first and be done right.
Which One Is Yours?
A failed buff and coat is not one problem. Some floors can be saved with the right prep; others need the failed finish removed before anything new goes down.
The finish lifts in sheets, chips at edges, or scratches off easily.
What it usually means
The new coat did not bond to the old finish, often because wax, silicone, or an untested finish was underneath.
Strip the failed coat first, then ReCoat or refinish on a clean, tested surface.
Some areas look darker, duller, hazy, or uneven under normal light.
What it usually means
Prep or application was inconsistent, so another coat over the same surface can lock in the problem.
Remove or correct the uneven finish before applying a new protective coat.
It looked fine for a few months, then quickly went flat or tired.
What it usually means
The coat may be too thin, the product may be residential-grade, or the traffic level was underestimated.
A properly prepped second ReCoat with commercial-grade finish may solve it.
Pet hair, dust, lint, or particles are visible below the finish layer.
What it usually means
The floor was not cleaned or controlled well enough before the finish was applied.
Strip the contaminated finish, clean correctly, then ReCoat.
The surface looks dimpled, raised, uneven, or has small air pockets.
What it usually means
Finish was applied too thick, too fast, or over contamination that reacted with the coating.
Strip affected areas, possibly lightly sand, then reapply after testing.
The floor just looks wrong, but the symptom is hard to name.
What it usually means
Photos usually reveal whether the issue is adhesion, contamination, application, or wear.

Our Policy
Some failed buff-and-coat jobs are past the point where remediation makes financial sense – the only honest answer is a full sand-and-refinish. If that's your floor, we'll tell you, and we'll quote the refinish. We'd rather lose a ReCoat job than hand you a second bad result.
