What we walk into in Ajax

Mostly 1990s–2010s detached and semi stock north of the 401, with older lakeshore houses in the south. Volume builder finishes throughout: prefinished floors, carpeted flights, MDF nosings.

Solid oak retreads over builder stringers, hallway and stair packages done together, hard-wearing waterborne finishes.

How we specify repairs here

  • Flood and dishwasher leak board replacement with grain match
  • Cupping and crowning correction after moisture events
  • Pet stains, burns, and high-heel crater repair
  • Heritage restoration on quarter-sawn oak in Forest Hill, Rosedale, High Park

The test of a hardwood company is not a new floor in a new house. It is replacing four boards in a 15-year-old red oak kitchen so the owner cannot find the seam.

Water is the usual caller: ice-maker lines, second-floor baths, and spring seepage in older Toronto foundations. We measure moisture, isolate the wet zone, and do not sand the whole floor until the replacement boards have acclimated to the same moisture content as the field.

Matching species, grade, and grain direction matters more than matching colour on day one. Colour we can stain. Grain we cannot invent. We keep a library of GTA-typical oak, maple, and walnut so we are not buying a 'close enough' board from a big-box store.

Can you match repairs to the hardwood already in my Ajax house?
Yes — matching is the normal case, not the exception.
