Hardwood floor refinishing in North York
Hardwood floor refinishing in North York from Flooring Installers North York sands worn hardwood back to bare wood, stains it if you want a new colour, and seals it with fresh coats of finish.
Before we quote, we check whether your floor can take another sanding, so you don't pay to refinish boards that should be replaced.

Refinish or replace?
Refinish when the floor is scratched, dull or the wrong colour but the boards are solid and flat. Replace when boards are cupped, water damaged, loose, or when an engineered floor has no wear layer left to sand.
If it's a mix, we can replace the damaged boards and refinish the whole room so it reads as one floor.
How a refinish runs
- Furniture out of the room and the edges and corners prepared
- Sanding in stages to bare wood
- Gaps and nail holes filled
- Stain tested on your floor, then applied if you're changing colour
- Coats of finish, with drying time between them
What refinishing costs
Refinishing is priced after we see the floor, because the condition of the wood, the number of coats and any board repairs change the job. The measure is free and the written quote comes the next day.
Questions people ask
- Can every hardwood floor be refinished?
- No. Solid hardwood can usually be sanded several times. Engineered hardwood depends on how thick the top layer is, and some can only be sanded once or not at all. We check before we quote.
- Can I change the colour?
- Yes. Once the floor is sanded to bare wood, we can stain it lighter or darker. We test the stain on your floor so you see the real colour first.
- Can I stay home while you refinish?
- You'll need to stay off the floor while the finish dries, so plan around it. We give you the exact schedule with your quote.
