Sand, Stain & Finish

divider

Total Renovations is a licensed contractor and trusted hardwood floor refinishing company in Burnaby BC, delivering complete hardwood floor refinishing services across Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill, Brentwood, Metrotown, Deer Lake, and Edmonds since 2011. From dustless sanding and custom staining to board repair, restoration, and finishing, we manage the entire process — protecting your home and delivering floors that look brand new.

Refinishing is one of the highest-value improvements a Burnaby homeowner can make. Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished several times over its life, so instead of the cost and waste of replacement, wood floor refinishing in Burnaby restores the floor you already have — removing years of scratches, wear, and dated finish, and letting you completely change the colour if you wish.

Burnaby's four housing eras mean four kinds of floors, and we know them all. Post-war bungalows and the ubiquitous Vancouver Special homes of the 1965–1985 era commonly have solid oak and Douglas fir hardwood that refinishes superbly — often dramatically modernized with a fresh stain. Older character homes hide floors worth restoring, while Brentwood and Metrotown condos frequently have engineered wood suited to a lighter refinish. Whichever you have, Total Renovations delivers the same flawless finish and fixed-price accountability. We are the hardwood floor refinishing contractor Burnaby homeowners recommend because we say what we'll do, and we do exactly that.

Dustless Hardwood Floor Refinishing Burnaby
Dustless hardwood floor refinishing is our standard in Burnaby. Our professional dust-containment sanding systems capture the vast majority of dust at the source, keeping your Burnaby home — and its furnishings and air quality — clean throughout the project. No system is truly 100 percent dust-free, but ours dramatically reduces the mess of traditional sanding, so most clients are amazed how little cleanup is left behind.

Hardwood Floor Sanding Burnaby
Proper sanding is the foundation of a beautiful finish. Our hardwood floor sanding in Burnaby uses professional dust-containment equipment and progresses through grits to a smooth, even surface — edges, corners, and stairs included — so stain and finish go on flawlessly with no swirl marks or drum lines. We handle the solid oak and fir common in Burnaby's older homes with equal care.

Hardwood Floor Staining Burnaby
Want a whole new look? Hardwood floor staining in Burnaby lets you modernize dated floors — from warm neutrals and natural matte to walnut, espresso, and grey-washed looks. It's especially effective on the golden oak found in many Vancouver Special homes. We test stains on your actual floor before committing, so you see the real colour before we proceed. Even, professional application with no blotching.

Hardwood Floor Repair Burnaby
Damaged boards don't mean a new floor. Our hardwood floor repair in Burnaby replaces cracked, cupped, water-stained, or pet-damaged boards, fixes gaps and squeaks, and weaves in new wood to match the existing floor before refinishing. We colour- and grain-match carefully so repairs disappear into the finished floor — restoring both function and appearance.

Hardwood Floor Resurfacing Burnaby
If your floors are structurally sound with only surface wear, hardwood floor resurfacing in Burnaby — a screen and recoat, also called a buff and coat — refreshes the finish without a full sand-down. We lightly abrade the existing finish and apply a fresh protective coat, restoring sheen and protection in a fraction of the time and cost. Ideal for maintaining floors between full refinishes.

Hardwood Floor Restoration Burnaby
Older and character floors deserve to be saved. Our hardwood floor restoration in Burnaby revives worn, painted, or long-neglected hardwood — including original fir in Burnaby Heights and Capitol Hill character homes — carefully bringing back the wood's natural beauty while preserving its character. Where boards are beyond saving, we repair and blend, then refinish to a durable, showpiece result.

Vancouver Special & Character Floor Refinishing
Burnaby is full of Vancouver Special homes from the 1965–1985 era, most with solid oak or fir hardwood on the upper floor. These floors are ideal refinishing candidates — we sand back decades of wear, repair damaged boards, and refinish, often with a modern stain that completely updates the home. We bring the same care to Burnaby's older character-home floors, preserving what makes them special.

We assess what your floor can take and recommend the right approach, whether that's a full refinish, a light resurfacing, or repair-and-recoat.

Why Hardwood Floor Refinishing in Burnaby Is Different — Local Knowledge That Matters

Burnaby's housing spans four distinct eras, and each brings its own hardwood. Post-war bungalows and the ubiquitous Vancouver Specials of the 1965–1985 period commonly feature solid oak and Douglas fir — floors that were built to last and are outstanding refinishing candidates. Sanding back decades of wear and applying a modern stain can completely transform one of these homes at a fraction of replacement cost.

Older character homes in Burnaby Heights and Capitol Hill sometimes hide original fir or period hardwood under carpet or worn finish — floors with genuine warmth that reward careful restoration. And in Burnaby's newer condo towers around Brentwood and Metrotown, engineered wood floors are common; these can often be lightly refinished or screened and recoated, provided they have adequate wear layer. Knowing which approach suits which floor is exactly the local expertise we bring.

Having refinished hardwood across Burnaby since 2011 — from Deer Lake executive homes to Edmonds family houses — we know the species, the wear patterns, and the colours today's Burnaby buyers respond to. Golden oak in a Vancouver Special can become a rich walnut or contemporary grey-wash; a tired fir floor can regain its character. Whatever your home and era, your refinished floor lifts both your daily enjoyment and your home's resale value.

Finishes, Colours & Floor Care — What Burnaby Homeowners Should Know
Choosing the right finish and colour is where a refinishing project succeeds or disappoints. Here's what we help every Burnaby client understand before we start — so the finished floor is exactly what you pictured.
Water-Based vs Oil-Based
Low-VOC water-based finishes dry clear, cure faster, and have minimal odour — ideal for occupied homes. Oil-based polyurethane adds warm amber tone and is extremely durable. We recommend the right system for your floor and household.
Modernizing Vancouver Special Oak
The golden oak in many Vancouver Specials reads dated, but it refinishes beautifully. A walnut, espresso, or grey-washed stain transforms the whole home. We always test on your actual floor first.
Dustless Sanding
Our dust-containment equipment captures the vast majority of dust at the source. No system is 100 percent dust-free, but ours dramatically reduces the mess of traditional sanding and protects your furnishings and air quality.
Sheen: Matte, Satin, Semi-Gloss
Sheen changes the whole feel of a floor. Matte and satin hide scratches and dust and suit modern Burnaby homes; semi-gloss is brighter and more traditional. We show you samples so you can choose confidently.
Engineered Floors
Engineered wood in Brentwood and Metrotown condos can often be refinished or screened and recoated if the wear layer is thick enough. We assess yours and recommend the safest approach.
Cure Times & Ongoing Care
You can usually walk on new finish within hours to a day, but furniture and rugs need longer to fully cure. Felt pads, prompt spill cleanup, the right cleaner, and a periodic screen and recoat keep floors looking new — and we leave every client a simple care plan.
