HARDWOOD FLOOR REFINISHING IN COQUITLAM
Whether your floors are original oak on Westwood Plateau or newer hardwood up on Burke Mountain, Sandover Floors can bring them back to their best. We’ve been refinishing hardwood since 1939, and our Metro Vancouver team brings dust control sanding, custom stains and durable low VOC finishes to homes across Coquitlam.
Hardwood Floor Refinishing Built for Coquitlam Homes
Coquitlam’s homes span several generations, from older houses in Maillardville to hillside family homes and brand new builds on Burke Mountain. Each one calls for a slightly different approach to refinishing. Before we start, we look at the wood species, the age and type of the existing finish, and how your household uses the space, then recommend the right sanding depth, stain and sheen.
The result is a floor that looks refreshed and is protected for the years ahead, without the cost and disruption of replacing it.

Our Hardwood Floor Refinishing Services in Coquitlam
-
We sand your floors back to bare wood, remove scratches and dull finishes, then apply a durable finish in your choice of sheen. Learn more about our refinishing process.
-
Many Coquitlam homes built in the 1980s and 1990s still have the orange or yellow toned finishes of the era. We sand to clean wood and apply a custom stain, from light natural tones to deep browns, with test samples so you can see the colour before committing.
-
Newer homes often have engineered floors. We measure the wear layer first to confirm whether it can be safely sanded and refinished.
-
Damaged, gapped or loose boards are fixed before sanding through our hardwood floor repair service, so the finished floor looks consistent from wall to wall.
-
Treads, risers and landings are refinished to match your floors, so your home looks cohesive from top to bottom.

How Coquitlam’s Climate Affects Your Hardwood
Coquitlam sits against the North Shore mountains, so it sees plenty of rain through fall and winter, and homes higher up on Westwood Plateau and Burke Mountain get colder snaps and more snow than the valley floor. That shows up on your floors in a few ways:
Entryway wear: wet boots, grit and gravel tracked in through the rainy months wear through finishes fastest near doors and in hallways.
Seasonal movement: furnace heat dries the air in winter and humidity rises again in spring, so boards shrink and swell through the year.
Moisture near exterior doors and basements: extra dampness can cause cupping or finish damage in these areas.
We choose finishes and recommend maintenance habits that suit these conditions, so your refinished floors stay protected longer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hardwood Floor Refinishing in Coquitlam
How much does hardwood floor refinishing cost in Coquitlam?
Cost depends on square footage, the condition of your floors, any repairs needed, and the stain and finish you choose. We give you a clear, upfront quote after a free on site assessment, so you know exactly what to expect.
Can engineered hardwood in a newer Coquitlam home be refinished?
Often, yes. It depends on how thick the top wear layer is. We measure it before recommending a full sand and refinish, and let you know honestly if your floor isn't a good candidate.
Can you change my orange oak floors to a lighter colour?
Yes. We sand the floor back to clean wood, then apply test samples of your chosen stain so you can see the result on your own floor before we commit to the full job.
Do you refinish floors in Coquitlam condos and townhouses?
Yes. We plan the work around your strata's rules and building hours, and use low VOC finishes to keep odours to a minimum for you and your neighbours. It's a good idea to check with your strata before booking.
How long does hardwood floor refinishing take?
Most projects take two to five days, depending on the size of the space and the finish you choose. We confirm your timeline before any work begins.
How often should hardwood floors be refinished?
Floors typically need refinishing every 7 to 12 years, depending on foot traffic, pets and wear. High traffic entryways in rainy months may show wear sooner.
