Welcome to PTY Wood Floor Care
Hardwood floors are all we do
Most floor care companies treat hardwood as an afterthought between carpet jobs. PTY Wood Floor Care was built around wood. We focus on residential hardwood: removing old wax buildup, reviving tired finishes with a screen and recoat, deep-cleaning ground-in grime, and refinishing floors that are worth saving.
If your hardwood looks cloudy, yellowed, scratched or just plain tired, there's a good chance it can be restored for far less than you'd expect — and we'll tell you honestly which service gets you there.
What We Do
Hardwood floor services built around restoration
Every floor tells us a different story. These are the five ways we bring hardwood back.
Real PTY Wax Removal Project
Screen & Recoat
The no-sanding makeover: light abrasion plus a fresh coat of finish erases months of wear in a day or two.
About screen & recoat →
Hardwood Floor Cleaning
Deep cleaning that lifts residue, grime and pet-track dirt your mop leaves behind — finish-safe, family-safe.
About floor cleaning →
Hardwood Floor Refinishing
When wear goes deeper than the finish, we sand to bare wood and rebuild the floor with durable new coats.
About refinishing →
Wood Floor Buffing
Affordable maintenance polishing that smooths scuffs and revives the shine between bigger services.

FAQ
Common questions about hardwood floor care
How much does it cost to restore my hardwood floors?
It depends entirely on what the floor needs. A cleaning or buffing costs a fraction of a recoat, and a recoat costs a fraction of a full refinish. That's why we start with a free estimate — we look at the floor and quote the least invasive service that fixes the actual problem.
My floors look dull and cloudy. Do they need to be refinished?
Not necessarily. Cloudiness often comes from wax buildup, cleaning-product residue, or a finish that's simply dirty rather than worn. Many "hopeless" floors look dramatically better after professional wax removal and cleaning. We'll tell you honestly whether you need cleaning, a screen and recoat, or full refinishing.
What's the difference between a screen and recoat and refinishing?
A screen and recoat lightly abrades the existing finish and applies a fresh coat — no sanding to bare wood. Refinishing sands away the entire old finish (and a thin layer of wood) and rebuilds from scratch. Recoating is faster, cleaner and cheaper; refinishing fixes deeper damage. Our blog post compares them in detail.
How long do I have to stay off my floors after a recoat?
Usually socks-only after about 24 hours, furniture after a couple of days, and rugs after a week or so, depending on the finish and the weather. You'll get a written care schedule before we start.
Do you clean carpets too?
No — and that's deliberate. PTY Wood Floor Care is a hardwood specialist. Wood is our entire focus, which is why we're so good at diagnosing what a floor really needs.
