Floor Refinishing & Restoration

Calgary's established inner-city neighbourhoods are home to thousands of beautiful hardwood floors hidden under layers of wear, scratches, and outdated finishes. From the original fir floors in Inglewood's early 1900s homes to the oak and maple hardwood in Kensington, Hillhurst, and Sunnyside character homes, professional refinishing can restore these floors to stunning condition at a fraction of replacement cost.

The process involves sanding down to bare wood, repairing damaged boards, applying custom stain colours if desired, and finishing with 3-4 coats of commercial-grade polyurethane for lasting protection against Calgary's gritty winter foot traffic.

Calgary's low humidity is both a blessing and a challenge for floor refinishing. The dry air means finishes cure quickly and completely, but it also means the wood has likely developed seasonal gaps from years of extreme contraction and expansion cycles. A skilled refinisher assesses these gaps and determines whether filler is appropriate or whether the gaps will close on their own during Calgary's more humid summer months.

Modern dustless sanding systems — essential in occupied homes — capture 99% of dust at the source, making refinishing practical even while you continue living in the home. Our network floor refinishers carry WCB Alberta coverage, use professional drum and edge sanders, and apply finishes rated for high traffic and Alberta's unique climate conditions.
