HARDWOOD FLOORING REFINISHING & SANDING
At Floors Depot, traditional hardwood floor refinishing is our specialty. Over time, wood floors can develop scratches, dents, and dullness. With this method, we remove the top layer of wood, eliminating imperfections and revealing a fresh surface. After sanding, staining allows you to pick from a large pallete of floor colors, letting you a chance to give your new floor a fresh look. Finally, refinishing adds a protective layer, giving your wood floor durability and a polished look. Our process starts with an on-site visit, where our experts assess the current condition of your hardwood floors. We evaluate key factors like the species of wood and the thickness of the top layer, which allows us to evaluate and recommend the best refinishing service option in your situation.
One of the options we offer at Floors Depot is dustless wood floor refinishing services. We use advanced equipment to capture nearly all the dust produced during the sanding process, keeping your home cleaner and reducing the cleanup time. It’s a great choice for homeowners looking to minimize disruption during the refinishing process.
SANDLESS HARDWOOD FLOOR REFINISHING (RECOATING)
In case your hardwood floors are lightly worn and don’t require a full sanding, sandless wood floor refinishing is exactly what you need. This process involves floor buffing and polishing to restore its shine without the need for heavy sanding. Our flooring company uses high-quality polishing equipment to perform hardwood floor repair before adding a new top coat of finish, leaving your wood floors looking revitalized without the need for heavy sanding.
​
The advantages of sandless refinishing include its speed and cost-effectiveness. It’s much faster and less expensive than traditional sanding, making it a great option for those looking for a quick upgrade. Since it doesn’t remove much of the wood’s top layer, it’s also less invasive. However, it should be noted that this method won't remove deep scratches or dents, and it doesn’t allow for color changes or staining. So, if you’re generally happy with your hardwood but feel it’s lost its shine, Floors Depot sandless refinishing services is your choice.

Restoration for your floors may involve multiple services, ranging from light touch-ups to extensive repairs, including new solid or engineered hardwood floor installation and extending existing wood floors.

LATEST FLOORS DEPOT REVIEWS
We required an emergency floor replacement due on very short notice. We called Alex at 4pm on Friday afternoon and he was there by 6. Within days our floor was replaced and we were able to move back in. Alex and his team did an outstanding job. Their customer service is excellent. Marjan and I highly recommend Floors Depot!

Kevin Day
Alex was a clear communicator. The job was done quickly and he was accommodating to our tight schedule. When some unforeseen challenges came up with the renovation (out of his control) he solved it and kept the project on schedule. Our floors look great, and the whole experience was stress free. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone!

HARDWOOD REFINISHING FAQ
What is hardwood refinishing?
In simple terms, hardwood refinishing is a process that rejuvenates your floors by sanding down the top layer of wood and applying a new stain and finish. This approach removes the previous layer of stain, allowing you to change the color if desired and giving your floors a fresh, revitalized appearance.
Is refinishing the same as resurfacing?
No. When you refinish your floor, all you are doing is sanding the top layer and adding a fresh coat of stain. It is done for the purpose of revitalizing the look of your floor and changing the colour if you choose to. Resurfacing is more involved, and it is done for the purpose of making the floor functionally better. Old worn-out planks are removed and replaced with new ones, uneven boards are sanded down, and all the planks are inspected and reinforced with new nails if needed. In many cases, a resurfacing job is followed by a refinishing.
Can you refinish hardwood floors without sanding?
Yes, refinishing can be done without sanding through methods like sandless or buffing refinishing. This technique lightly scuffs the floor's surface and applies a new finish without the extensive dust and mess associated with traditional sanding.
Can I change the colour of my hardwood floor?
Absolutely! One of the key advantages of refinishing is the ability to change the color of your hardwood floors. Once the old stain is removed, you can select any new stain color up to your preferences.
Does sanding produce a lot of dust?
Yes, traditional sanding can create significant dust. However, many modern refinishing services use dustless sanding technology, which minimizes dust by using specific equipment that captures particles as they are generated, resulting in a cleaner work environment.
