From removing old finishes and repairing damage to applying a fresh coat of stain or sealant, our experienced team handles every step with precision and care — delivering stunning, long-lasting results that enhance the overall look of your home or business.
Our Hardwood Refinishing Process
Whether the wood in your home is three months or fifty years old, our skilled artisans can restore it to its original beauty. Many homes built before 1960 hide original hardwood beneath carpet — and refinishing it is one of the best ways to add character and value back to your space.
We start with an in-home consultation so we can deliver exactly what your floors need. Our refinishers sand off the worn top layer in stages: we typically begin with a coarse 30–40 grit sandpaper, move to a 50–60 grit to even the surface, and finish with a fine 80–100 grit to soften it. The floor is then carefully vacuumed and a fresh coat of stain and sealant is applied — for a smooth, protected, beautifully renewed result.

Questions
Hardwood Refinishing FAQs
How do I know my floor has enough wood left to sand?
We measure the thickness above the tongue, usually by lifting a board at a threshold or vent. A solid 3/4-inch floor almost always has enough. Engineered wood depends on its wear layer, and a 2mm layer gives one light pass at most. We check before quoting rather than discovering it with the sander running.
Water-based or oil-based finish?
Water-based finishes dry quickly, stay clear over time and have far less odour, so they suit occupied homes and lighter colours. Oil-based finishes add an amber warmth that suits traditional and period floors, and they cure more slowly. Both are durable; the choice is about colour, timeline and how long you can be out of the room.
Will sanding get rid of pet stains and dark marks?
Surface scratches and general wear, yes, completely. Dark pet stains are different: urine penetrates into the wood and often through to the subfloor, and sanding will not reach it. Those boards usually need replacing, which we can do and then blend into the refinish.
Can you refinish only one room?
Yes, but be aware of where it stops. A newly refinished room will not match the adjoining floors exactly, even with the same stain, because the older finish has aged and ambered. Where rooms flow into each other without a threshold, we normally recommend doing them together.
