These durable, attractive options transform Scarborough interiors while standing up to the demands of busy multi-generational households common in the area.

Older urban homes frequently have original hardwood floors hidden under carpet or linoleum that can be restored to stunning condition through professional refinishing. Where subfloors are uneven from decades of settling, proper leveling before new flooring installation is essential to avoid squeaks and gaps.
Average hardwood floor refinishing cost in Scarborough and the GTA: $3–$12 per sq ft, depending on material and subfloor condition — vinyl plank starts around $3/sq ft, hardwood and tile run $7–$12/sq ft installed.
Hardwood Floor Refinishing in Scarborough: Scarborough's housing stock is predominantly post-war — 1950s–1960s bungalows and back-splits in Birch Cliff and Scarborough Village, 1970s–1980s detached homes and townhomes in Agincourt and Malvern, and some newer infill developments. The Scarborough Bluffs area has unique properties with dramatic lake views.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hardwood Floor Refinishing in Scarborough
Hardwood refinishing in Scarborough typically costs between CAD $3.50 and $5 per square foot. Most projects range from CAD $1800 to $12000, with an average around CAD $4500, significantly less than replacement.
The refinishing process usually takes 3-5 days, depending on the size of the area, the condition of the floors, and whether staining is involved. Full curing for heavy traffic takes about 3-5 days after the final coat.
Most solid hardwood floors, especially red and white oak common in Scarborough's Victorian and post-war homes, can be refinished multiple times. Engineered hardwood can also be refinished if its wear layer is thick enough.
Bona Traffic HD is a premium, water-based polyurethane finish renowned for its exceptional durability, resistance to scratches and scuffs, and low VOCs. It's ideal for high-traffic areas and provides a beautiful, long-lasting finish.
We utilize advanced dust containment systems during the sanding process to capture nearly all airborne dust. This ensures a much cleaner environment than traditional methods, minimizing disruption to your home.
You can typically walk on your refinished floors in socks after 24 hours. However, it's best to wait 3-5 days before placing furniture back and a full week before heavy use or placing rugs, allowing the finish to fully cure.
Refinishing is almost always the more cost-effective and environmentally friendly option. It preserves the original character of your home, saves you money (CAD $3.50-5/sqft vs $9-14/sqft for replacement), and extends the life of your existing floors.
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.
