HARDWOOD FLOOR RESTORATION IN VANCOUVER & THE FRASER VALLEY
For over 80 years, we have been restoring hardwood floors to their original beauty for homeowners across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, and the Fraser Valley, including Langley, Abbotsford, and Chilliwack. Our restoration service combines expert repairs, careful sanding, and durable finishes to bring tired, damaged floors back to life.
What Our Hardwood Floor Restoration Covers
Restoration goes further than a standard refinish. Whether your floors are scratched, faded, water stained, or simply showing their age, we repair the damage first, then sand, stain, and finish so the whole floor looks consistent again. A typical restoration can include:
Replacing cracked, warped, or stained boards with matching wood through our hardwood floor repair service
Filling gaps and securing loose or squeaky boards
Sanding away old finishes, deep scratches, and wear patterns with professional hardwood floor refinishing
Matching your original colour or choosing a new look with custom staining
Sealing with durable, low VOC finishes in your choice of sheen
Every project begins with a detailed on site assessment so we can understand the condition of your floors, discuss your vision, and recommend the right approach.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hardwood Floor Restoration
What is the difference between hardwood floor restoration and refinishing?
Refinishing means sanding the floor and applying a new stain and finish. Restoration includes that, plus the repairs needed first, such as replacing damaged boards, closing gaps, and fixing loose or squeaky areas. If your floors are worn but otherwise sound, refinishing may be all you need.
Can old or heritage hardwood floors be restored?
In most cases, yes. Original fir and oak in older homes can often be sanded and refinished several times. We check board thickness and condition during your consultation, then recommend an approach that preserves the floor's original character.
Can water damaged or stained hardwood be restored?
Often, yes. Light surface stains usually sand out. Deeper water or pet stains that have soaked into the wood typically need those boards replaced with matching wood, which we then blend into the rest of the floor through hardwood floor repair.
How long does hardwood floor restoration take?
It depends on the size of the space and how much repair work is needed. Smaller projects can be finished in a few days, while larger homes or projects with board replacement may take longer. We confirm your timeline before any work begins.
Is restoring my floors cheaper than replacing them?
Usually. When the wood is structurally sound, restoration keeps the floor you already have and avoids the cost of new material and removal. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense for your floors.
Can I stay in my home during the restoration?
Many homeowners do. You will need to keep off the rooms being worked on while the finish cures, and our low VOC products keep odours to a minimum. We walk you through the schedule so you can plan around it.
