What is wood renewal?

Caring for your wood is much like caring for your garden, you consider the seasons. Not only are you aiming at the aestetics but also the longevity. Renewed wood is more than shine, it is protection. Each persons use of the wood varies, so you must assess your reality based on traffic (pets and humans), sun and moisture and your house rules (shoes or no shoes).

Below you will see pictures that reflect the dry and damaged wood next to the repaired and renourished wood freshly renewed. Depending on your traffic, you should consider renewal every 2 to 3 years.


Note the picture on the left, the right side is not renewed where as the kitchen is.

What's the difference between wood renewal and screening?


Somebody told me I should just "screen". What does that mean?

Screening is half-way to sanding. The same equipment, the same procedure, just less of it. A screener sands off the finish on your floor, but does not sand off the top layer of wood. Traditionally, this has been a type of stop-gap solution for people who can't afford sanding. Our process achieves all that screening does, without the dust and in a much shorter time.

We don't take a layer of wood off your floors in order to restore your shine and protection. Instead, we leave the wood where it was meant to be and protect it with multiple layers of N-Hance finish.

We recommend sanding, not screening, to those customers who have not preserved their wood and need to start over.

Can I trust your products to last as long as good old varnish?

Actually, we expect more from our products than we would ever expect of "good old varnish". Harris Research Inc has a full-time lab at work on every product developed. Modern water-based polyurethane is fully competitive with petroleum-based varnish.

Since your products are water-based, how do you deal with "grain-raise"?

Grain raise and other problems emerge when taking off a layer of finish, regardless of whether the refinisher will be using a water-based or a petroleum-based finish to reseal the wood.

We burnish to knock down grain raise both before our first coat and between coats. Because our dry-times are faster than petroleum-based varnishes, we can apply more coats in a day than traditional refinishers, thereby assuring a smooth final coat.

How come my contractor has never heard of you?

We are an emerging trend in the industry. Our niche did not exist five years ago. Please see our referrals page.

How should I prepare for the N-Hance process?

Just move your furniture off of your floors. You don't have to cover anything since we don't sand. You don't have to leave, either. We take care not to be annoying.

We don't come in and take over your home. We don't play music, we speak as softly as possible, we stage our equipment in a small area which we clear with you before we begin. Many of our clients continue to work in their home office (unless that's the floor we're doing, of course) while we are there, and have not been disturbed in the slightest.
