What is involved in maintenance-coating my floors?

We need a bare floor to work with, so the homeowner is responsible for removal and replacement of furniture. (If desired, appliances may remain in place and we will coat around them). We then “screen”, or lightly abrade the floor, using a buffer and abrasive screen, to roughen the top surface of the existing finish so that the new coat will adhere. This process will also remove fine surface scratches and scuffs, but will not remove anything deeper, such as deep scratches, dents, gouges, sun fading, or wear stains. Nor is there any way (short of a complete sanding to bare wood) to remove any wax, oil or acrylic buildup from use of improper cleaning products. The floor is then swept and vacuumed to remove any dust, then a single finish coat is applied. The floor should be allowed to dry overnight without foot traffic, and a few days longer before furniture and area rugs are replaced.
