Question 1

Is a refinished floor worth it?

Accepted Answer

Refinishing and repair services help to preserve the natural beauty and strength of your hardwood flooring, which also means that you’ll get to enjoy it for much longer. Occasional refinishes can do away with stubborn stains, deep scratches and grooves, holes and dents, cracks that can otherwise spread in colder weather, and more.

Question 2

Is refinishing messy or dusty?

Accepted Answer

With modern dustless sanding systems used for hardwood floor refinishing in Ottawa, airborne dust is greatly minimized. Some light cleanup is still required, but far less than in traditional sanding jobs.

Question 3

How long does floor refinishing take?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the complexity of the work at hand, the square footage we need to cover, and even the species of wood in question, as some require different care and treatment approaches. We’ll be able to confirm the required duration once we inspect your flooring.

Question 4

Will my floors look brand new?

Accepted Answer

That’s the goal! While we can’t guarantee that your flooring will be restored to the showroom-new condition due to the natural aging processes, oxidation, and other factors at play in organic materials like wood, refinishing will completely overhaul its appearance in most cases. We take the results as close to perfection as possible.

Question 5

Can all hardwood floors be refinished?

Accepted Answer

Most types of solid hardwood flooring can be refinished multiple times, depending on its thickness and past sanding history. Engineered floors can also be refinished in many cases, but it depends on the thickness of the top veneer. We can confirm this during an in-home assessment.

Question 6

Will refinishing change the color of my floors?

Accepted Answer

It can. If you’d like to keep your existing tone, we can match it closely. If you prefer a new look, we can apply stains ranging from light natural finishes to deeper, richer tones. We always test samples on your specific wood to help you make the right choice.

Question 7

How much does floor refinishing cost?

Accepted Answer

This will also vary depending on the amount of work and hours required, the size of the room, the species of your flooring, and other factors. Reach out to us for an estimate.

Question 8

How long does a refinished floor last?

Accepted Answer

We recommend getting your hardwood floors refinished every decade or so, perhaps a bit more frequently in high-traffic areas such as rooms frequented by children or office workers on a regular basis.
