Hardwood floor refinishing in Kanata
Refinishing for Kanata's older oak floors and its newer prefinished ones.
Kanata splits into two kinds of floor. The older neighbourhoods like Beaverbrook, Katimavik and Glen Cairn have plenty of site-finished oak strip from the 1970s and 80s, often hidden under carpet that went in a decade later. Those floors usually have plenty of wood left and come back well with a full sand.
The neighbourhoods built from the 1990s on, like Bridlewood, Morgan's Grant and Kanata Lakes, lean toward prefinished oak and maple, with engineered floors in many townhomes. Those need a closer look before anyone sands: prefinished boards have bevelled edges and a very hard factory finish, and engineered boards only have a thin layer of real wood on top.
What Kanata homeowners usually ask for
- Pulling carpet off original oak and refinishing what's underneath
- Recoating worn prefinished floors in high-traffic kitchens and halls
- Refinishing builder-grade oak stairs to match or contrast new flooring
