Total Renovations is a licensed contractor and trusted hardwood floor refinishing company providing complete sanding, staining, finishing, repair, restoration, and resurfacing services. We manage the full process from assessment and preparation through the final finish coats, protecting surrounding surfaces and delivering a smooth, consistent result.
Refinishing is one of the highest-value ways to renew an existing wood floor. Solid hardwood can often be sanded and refinished several times, removing scratches, worn finish, discolouration, and minor surface damage without the cost and waste of full replacement. A complete refinish can also change the colour and sheen to better suit an updated interior.
Every floor requires a tailored approach. Oak, maple, birch, fir, and other wood species react differently to sanding and stain, while engineered hardwood must have a sufficient wear layer before it can be safely refinished. We inspect the floor, explain the best option, repair damaged areas where needed, and recommend a finish system suited to the room, traffic level, household, and desired appearance.
Total Renovations provides every service required to renew and protect hardwood floors — dustless sanding, staining, finishing, board repair, restoration, resurfacing, and maintenance recoating — all managed under one roof, one detailed quote, and one experienced crew that treats your home with care from start to finish.
Every hardwood floor refinishing project follows our proven 4-step process, designed to deliver a smooth, durable finish on schedule, within the agreed scope, and with the least practical disruption to your home:
Hardwood floor refinishing is ideal when the wood is structurally sound but the surface is scratched, dull, faded, stained, or covered by an outdated finish. Solid hardwood generally provides the greatest refinishing flexibility because it can often be sanded more than once over its service life. Older oak, maple, birch, and fir floors can frequently be restored rather than replaced.
Engineered hardwood requires a closer assessment. The real-wood wear layer must be thick enough to sand safely, and previous refinishing reduces the material available. When full sanding is not suitable, a screen and recoat, localized repair, or finish restoration may still improve the floor without risking the veneer.
Deep movement, widespread moisture damage, structural failure, or an extremely thin wear layer may make replacement more practical. Our assessment explains what can be repaired, what can be refinished, and which process offers the best balance of appearance, durability, cost, and long-term value.
Our hardwood floor refinishing service covers common wood species, floor types, and high-use areas:
The difference between a smooth, durable hardwood floor and a disappointing result comes down to assessment, sanding technique, repair skill, stain control, finish selection, and careful preparation. Here is why homeowners choose Total Renovations for hardwood floor refinishing:
