From Denver’s Loft Boom

To Boulder’s Finest Floors

Recoatings began in the Denver area in the early 1990s under the name Peters Flooring, during a time when the city was transforming from an industrial center into the vibrant downtown we know today.

We were there at the beginning of the Denver loft revolution, helping convert aging warehouses and factory spaces into warm, livable homes. Those early projects required more than construction — they demanded care, creativity, and respect for the character already built into the walls and floors.

Working in those old brick buildings taught us how to deal with hardwood that had already taken decades of abuse. Many of the floors dated back to the early 1900s and had carried machinery, pallets, and constant industrial traffic. Restoring them meant repairing boards, correcting structural problems, and finishing the wood in a way that kept its character intact.

Over time, that hands-on experience evolved into a deeper focus on hardwood finishing and restoration. We refined our sanding, staining, and finishing methods while working on projects such as Jackson’s LoDo — floors built to handle heavy public use, yet finished to the standard expected in high-end art galleries and residential spaces.

Those early loft projects also demanded range. Some floors required full structural repair before they could be refinished, while others needed careful sanding and finishing to preserve the character of the original wood. That variety of work shaped the way we approach hardwood flooring today.

Today, with decades of experience behind us, Recoatings brings that same craftsmanship to Boulder and Northern Colorado. From restoring hardwoods in historic neighborhoods to installing new floors in modern Front Range homes, we approach every project with the same steady attention to detail that shaped our beginnings in Denver.

At Recoatings, hardwood flooring is treated as a craft — not simply a service. Every project is completed with care, architectural awareness, and the belief that great interiors deserve floors finished with discipline and pride.
