Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Our hardwood floor refinishing service restores aged or damaged floors to their original condition through multi-stage sanding and finish application. Using industrial-grade equipment and eco-friendly products, we remove scratches, stains, and wear while preserving wood integrity. The process includes thorough preparation, three-phase sanding, and application of durable waterborne or oil-based finishes that enhance natural grain patterns.
Dust Free Sanding
Our proprietary dust-free sanding system employs cyclonic separators and HEPA-filtered vacuums to capture 99.9% of airborne particles during floor preparation. This advanced technology eliminates post-project cleanup concerns while maintaining indoor air quality. Unlike traditional methods that leave residual dust, our system ensures no mess remains, allowing immediate use of treated spaces without additional cleaning requirements.
Custom Staining
Custom staining services allow complete aesthetic transformation of existing hardwood floors through professional-grade stains in various tones. Our experts guide clients through color selection while explaining how different wood species accept stains. The process involves precise grain preparation, even application techniques, and protective coating to ensure consistent, long-lasting results that match design preferences.
Durable Finishes
We apply premium waterborne and oil-based finishes that provide lasting protection against daily wear while enhancing wood characteristics. Waterborne Streetshoe finish offers low VOC emissions and non-yellowing properties, while Woodline Polyurethane provides amber-toned durability. Both options undergo multiple coat applications with intermediate drying periods to create resilient surfaces suitable for high-traffic residential and commercial environments.
Hardwood Maintenance
Our maintenance services extend floor longevity through periodic screen-and-recoat treatments that refresh protective layers without full refinishing. This process involves light sanding of surface coatings followed by application of new finish layers, effectively addressing minor wear in high-traffic areas. Regular maintenance preserves original floor condition while minimizing long-term refinishing frequency.

Stunning result after restoring vintage parquet floor
After I discovered old parquet floor under a lackluster carpet I saw the potential but I didn't imagine it could be as stunning as it now is. I did my research and contacted three companies. Lee called me back right away and had answers to all my questions and offered additional helpful tips as well. His subsequent follow up email helped reassure me that this was the place to go to for expert service. They accommodated my scheduling needs and were communicative throughout the process. Accurate estimate, on time as promised, COVID safety protocols

We engaged Restoration Hardwood based on their experience and ability to repair as well as restore/refinish.
Lee and his team provided options and recommendations our original oak hardwood floor. The team were experienced and courteous while working at our home. One unpredicted change occurred when the replacement wood needed was white oak not red oak as originally thought, but the team absorbed the cost and stayed true to their quote. This meant an extra days work but a better finished product. We appreciated their honesty and diligence.

Lee and his team did a great job with our hardwoods. I asked 4 different companies for quotes and only got 2, Lee was the only one of the two who actually showed up on site and measured and answered questions. The whole process was as expected, but well done, and on time. I would recommend Restoration Hardwood Floors without hesitation.

Restoration Hardwood refinished our prior home (10 years ago), and did what we thought was a great job. Moving to a new home and a very neglected floor, Frank worked several minor miracles - finish, colour, attention to detail, etc - this man is awesome. Sales support and communication with Lee and Restoration was very professional. Have no hesitation in recommending!

Gee Murray, what part of my review is inaccurate? I did not suggest Lee had been with you for any particular time, or Devon. I disagree with Devons skill, as I expect you might, if you had cared to review the install and the refinishing. 2 years later, after living with the mess 24/7 I was more familiar than you obviously can imagine. Several folks remarked on it, including Banner Carpets, who also install hardwood. As bad a job as could be done, was their assessment. I had the installation repair done this past September. BC Hardwood redid the installation work with the same material
