Matthews Floor Care · Boise
Your floors don't need sanding. They need a recoat.
A one-day Buff & Coat brings back worn, scratched hardwood for a fraction of a refinish. No sanding, very little dust. This winter, past Matthews clients get their Floor Check-up free.

Catch it at the finish, not the wood.
Gray traffic paths and scratches that catch the light are the finish wearing thin. Recoat now and the wood underneath stays untouched. Wait until it wears through and the only fix is a full sand.

|---|---|---|
| Cost | About $1,750 | Several times more |
| Time | 1 day | Several days |
| Dust | Very little | Sanding to bare wood |
How it works
Free Floor Check-up
About 20 minutes. We photograph any wear and tell you honestly what your floor needs, if anything.
Recoat or clean, in a day
A Buff & Coat or Deep Clean, with the price in writing before we start.
Keep it that way
A yearly plan handles the cleaning and the next recoat, so the floor never needs a full sand.
What we do
Buff & Coat
A fresh coat of finish over the old one. Brings back the shine and protection in one day.
From $1.75/sq ft →
Deep Clean
Machine scrub, edges by hand and a written floor report. The clean a mop can't do.
From $0.75/sq ft →Floor Care Plans
A Deep Clean every year, member pricing on recoats and priority scheduling. Founding Members keep their rate for 3 years.
From $449/year →
Most floors that end up sanded never had to get that far. A recoat every few years would have saved them. That's why we started Floor Care.

What Boise homeowners say
4.8 stars from 48 Google reviews“From the first consultation to the final visit, Pratt Matthews and his crew provided excellent advice and workmanship. They were efficient with great attention to detail. I needed both oak and fir ripped out and replaced due to a kitchen flood. It looks stellar and Pratt and each crew member were great to work with. I know their work will stand the test of time.”
“Reliable, consistent, fast. Great work, would recommend them to anyone. Did our hardwoods and worked on a Sunday evening in order to finish so we could move into our new house. They didn't have to do that but went above and beyond.”
“Hired to refinish our floors, from moving furniture (heavy, handmade), to the refinishing of the floors, Matthews Hardwood is fantastic. Professional, timely, high quality, caring, friendly and accountable. Highly recommend.”

Questions
Will a recoat work on my floors?
On most site-finished floors and many factory-finished ones, yes. Floors that have had polish, wax or a "shine restorer" need extra prep. We test a small patch first, and if it won't work, we'll say so.
How soon can we walk on it?
Hours, not days. We'll tell you exact walk-on and furniture times for your floor at the check-up.
How often do floors need it?
Every 3 to 5 years for most homes, and every 1 to 3 with kids, pets or heavy traffic. A yearly deep clean in between keeps grit from wearing the finish.
How is this different from sanding and refinishing?
A recoat works on the finish only. We buff the surface, prep it so the new coat bonds, and apply fresh finish. No wood comes off, so it is faster, cleaner and costs much less.
What if my floor is past a recoat?
If the finish is worn through to bare wood or there are deep stains, it needs a full sand and refinish. That's what our main company, Matthews Hardwood Floors, does. The check-up tells you which one you need.
