Flooring Refinishing in the GTA

Floor Refinishing Services

Alpine Flooring restores worn, scratched, and dull hardwood floors throughout Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. Our team handles every part of the refinishing process, from sanding to final finish, bringing your existing floor back to like-new condition without the cost of full replacement.

Our Floor Refinishing Process

01. Consultation & Assessment

We start with an on-site assessment of your existing hardwood floor to confirm it's a good candidate for refinishing. We'll check the wear layer, existing damage, and discuss your options for stain and finish before providing a clear, detailed estimate.

02. Room Preparation

Before sanding begins, we clear and protect the space, including adjacent rooms, to contain dust as much as possible throughout the refinishing process.

04. Staining

03. Sanding

05. Finishing & Sealing

06. Cure Time & Final Walkthrough

Using professional-grade equipment, we sand away the old finish and surface damage in multiple passes, working down to clean, bare wood ready for stain and finish.

If you're changing your floor's color, we apply your chosen stain evenly across the entire surface. If you're keeping the natural tone, we move straight to finishing.

Your newly refinished floor needs time to properly cure before furniture goes back in place (we'll walk you through the timeline). Before we call the job done, we inspect every detail together to confirm your satisfaction, backed by our workmanship warranty.

We apply multiple coats of protective finish, sanding lightly between coats where needed, to give your hardwood floor a durable, long-lasting topcoat.

How Much Does Floor Refinishing Cost?

Frequently asked questions

How long does hardwood floor refinishing typically take?

Most residential refinishing projects take 2-4 days, including sanding, staining (if applicable), and multiple coats of finish, plus cure time before furniture goes back. We'll give you a clear timeline during your consultation.

How do I get started with refinishing?

Just reach out for a free consultation. We'll assess your floors, discuss your stain and finish options, and provide a detailed estimate with no obligation to move forward.

Do I need to prepare the space before work begins?

We ask that the room be cleared of furniture and breakables before we arrive. We'll walk you through exactly what to expect during your consultation.

Can all hardwood floors be refinished, or are some too damaged?

Most hardwood floors can be refinished, as long as there's enough wood thickness left above the tongue and groove. We'll assess your floor's condition during the consultation to confirm it's a good candidate.
