Hardwood Floor Refinishing Roncesvalles in Etobicoke

For an average Roncesvalles home (around 500-700 sqft of flooring), the process usually takes 3-5 days, depending on the condition of the floors and the number of coats applied.

We use advanced dust containment systems to minimize airborne dust. While no process is 100% dust-free, our equipment significantly reduces mess, especially important for homes with high plaster content common in Roncesvalles.

You can typically walk on the floors in socks after 24 hours. Furniture can be moved back carefully after 72 hours, and rugs should wait about a week to allow the finish to fully cure.

Absolutely. Many older urban homes have beautiful oak, maple, or birch hardwood hidden under layers of carpet or linoleum. Professional sanding, staining, and finishing can restore these floors to stunning condition. We assess the wood thickness first — most original hardwoods can be refinished 2–3 times.

Foundation settling over decades is the most common cause. Before installing new flooring, we level the subfloor using self-leveling compound or plywood underlayment. This prevents squeaks, gaps, and uneven wear in the new flooring — an essential step that many contractors skip.

Engineered hardwood and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) are excellent choices for older homes because they handle minor subfloor irregularities better than solid hardwood. Both can be installed as floating floors, minimizing disruption to the existing structure.
