Hardwood floor refinishing in Barrhaven
Stairs, recoats and colour changes for Barrhaven's newer homes.
Most of Barrhaven was built from the 1990s onward, so the floors here are mostly prefinished hardwood, engineered hardwood and builder-grade oak stairs. That shapes what a refinishing job looks like.
The most common request we see from newer Barrhaven homes is the staircase. Builders often finished oak treads in a dark or orange-toned stain with painted risers, and owners who've since put in new flooring want the stairs to match. That's a sanding and staining job on the treads, with fresh paint on the risers and stringers.
For the main floors, a recoat is often the right call when the finish is dull but the wood isn't damaged. A full sand is possible on solid prefinished floors, but the bevelled edges between boards stay visible, and on engineered floors it depends on how thick the wear layer is.
