Hardwood floor refinishing in Victoria
The City of Victoria has some of the oldest housing stock on the Island, and a lot of it sits on original old-growth Douglas fir. We refinish those floors, and we know how fir behaves under a sander.
What Victoria floors are usually made of
Homes in Fairfield, James Bay, Fernwood, and Rockland were often built before the Second World War, and many still have their original fir floors under later carpet or laminate. Old-growth fir is tight-grained and beautiful, but it is softer and thinner than modern oak, which changes how it should be refinished. A recoat is frequently the right call precisely because it does not spend the limited wood you have left.
Pulling up carpet in one of these houses often reveals a floor that only needs a light sand and finish, not a full replacement. It is worth having us look at it before you assume the floor is beyond saving.
Getting us out to look at your Victoria floors
Because Victoria has more character homes than anywhere else in the region, we have worked on plenty of fir and on the quirks that come with old subfloors, gaps between boards, and past repairs. When you request a quote we arrange a time to come and see the floors in person, and the visit is free.
The best time to get a number is before you commit to a plan. We can tell you in person whether your Fairfield or James Bay floors need a recoat or a full refinish, and roughly what that means for cost and timeline, so you are deciding with real information instead of a web estimate.
