Choosing a Method of Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Choosing the right flooring material is critical to achieving the desired look and function. When planning your choices, think about the long-term goal for that area. Is it high traffic? Will there be moisture buildup? Our team of professionals considers these questions before making a recommendation. Here are some of the most common options great for Whistler and Squamish BC.
Enhance the appeal of your project by selecting from a diverse range of finishes, including but not limited to water-based, oil-based, and craft oil finishes. With such a wide variety of finishes to choose from, you can ensure that your project is completed to perfection.
What is “Water-Based Finishes”
Water-based finishes are known for their low odour and fast drying times. They are environmentally friendly and contain fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These finishes offer excellent clarity, making them ideal for lighter wood colours. While they provide good protection, they may require more frequent recoating in high-traffic areas
What’s “Oil-Based Finishes”
Craft oil finishes, such as Danish oil or tung oil, are natural and non-toxic options. They enhance the wood’s natural beauty and provide a matte or satin finish. These finishes may require more frequent maintenance and reapplication. Craft oil finishes are ideal for those who prefer a more natural and hand-rubbed appearance.
What’s “Craft Oil Finishes”
Craft oil finishes, such as Danish oil or tung oil, are natural and non-toxic options. They enhance the wood’s natural beauty and provide a matte or satin finish. These finishes may require more frequent maintenance and reapplication. Craft oil finishes are ideal for those who prefer a more natural and hand-rubbed appearance.
FAQ
Here are some common questions we get about dustless refinishing or recoating hardwood
How long does dustless hardwood refinishing last?
With proper care and maintenance, dustless hardwood refinishing can last 7 to 10 years, depending on foot traffic, environmental conditions, and the finish used. Regular sweeping and periodic cleaning with hardwood-safe products will help preserve the finish for years.
Do I need extra ventilation during the process?
No, dustless hardwood refinishing minimizes airborne dust particles and fumes, making it safe and clean. However, ensuring your home is well-ventilated is always a good idea, especially if any finishing products are used. Our equipment is designed to capture dust before it becomes airborne
Does it make a mess? Will there be lots of dust afterwards?
No, one of the main advantages of dustless hardwood refinishing is the significantly reduced mess. Our state-of-the-art dustless sanding system captures up to 99% of the dust, ensuring a cleaner environment and no large cleanup afterward.
How long does the refinishing process take?
The timeline for dustless hardwood refinishing depends on the size of the area being refinished. Typically, most projects can be completed in 1-2 days, including drying time. Larger areas or complex jobs may take slightly longer.
Will I need to leave my home during the refinishing?
Thanks to the dustless technology, you can stay in your home during the process in most cases. However, you may want to avoid refinishing specific rooms until the job is complete, especially if finishing products are used.
Can all hardwood floors be refinished?
Not all hardwood floors can be refinished. Floors that have been refinished multiple times or those with severe damage may need to be replaced. We can assess your floor to determine if refinishing is an option for you.
Is dustless hardwood refinishing more expensive than traditional methods?
Dustless hardwood refinishing typically costs slightly more than traditional methods due to the advanced equipment required. However, the benefits—less mess, less cleaning, and a healthier environment—make it a worthwhile investment.
How soon can I walk on the refinished floors?
Generally, you can walk on the floors with socks after 24 hours. However, it’s best to wait 48-72 hours before moving furniture back into the room or exposing the floors to heavy traffic to ensure the finish fully cures.

Testimonials
We were super pleased to work with Harrison after needing to have our carpets removed and replaced with hardwood. He and his crew showed up exactly on time, completed the project in the time he said they would, did great work, and the final invoice was right in line with the quote. Having worked in the construction industry for many years, I can't stress how rare that is.
