Hardwood floor refinishing in Renfrew
Renfrew runs from post-war bungalows on the hill down to newer infill, so the floors range from original oak strip to engineered planks laid last decade. The approach is not the same for both.
Two very different floors in one neighbourhood
The older Renfrew houses carry the same 1950s and 1960s oak strip you find across inner-city Calgary, and it responds to sanding the way solid oak always has. The infill built alongside them mostly has engineered flooring, which is a thin layer of real wood over a plywood core. Engineered floors can sometimes be refinished and sometimes cannot, and the deciding factor is the thickness of that top layer.
We check it before we quote rather than after. A 4mm wear layer will take a light sanding. A 2mm one will not, and sanding it is how a floor gets ruined in an afternoon. If your engineered floor is out of refinishing, we will say so and talk about a recoat instead, which works on plenty of them.
Working around a house you are living in
Renfrew is close enough to downtown that most of the houses we work in are occupied, which makes staging and dust control the practical questions rather than afterthoughts. We can usually work room by room so you keep somewhere to sleep, and we will walk you through the dust setup and the cure times before anything is booked so you know exactly which rooms are off limits and for how long.
