Hardwood Sanding, Finishing & Refinishing in Toronto, Ontario

Most Toronto floors we are asked to replace do not need replacing. If there is a wear layer left, a dust-contained sand and a two-component waterborne finish costs a fraction of a new floor and keeps the original boards in the house.

What we walk into in Toronto

Victorian and Edwardian houses in the west end, mid-century bungalows in North York, glass condos downtown, and heritage estates in Rosedale and Forest Hill. Each needs a different assembly.

Solid white oak on wood joists, engineered over concrete condos, stair retreads in 3-storey semis, and porch restorations on Parkdale and High Park Victorians.

How we specify sanding & refinishing here

  • Bona dust containment — 99%+ capture, occupied-home friendly
  • Full sand or screen-and-recoat depending on remaining wear layer
  • Custom stain matching to stairs, millwork, and adjacent rooms
  • Bona Traffic HD and Loba 2K systems for dogs, kids, and condos

Refinishing is the highest-ROI hardwood job in the GTA. A tired red-oak floor from 1998, sanded correctly and finished in a modern matte, outperforms a cheap vinyl plank at a fraction of replacement cost.

We do not 'dustless-sand' with a shop vac taped to a rental drum. Green Hardwood runs professional containment: perimeter sealing, negative air where needed, and a sanding sequence (open-coat belts, then multi-disc) that does not dish the edges or leave chatter.

Finish choice is a performance spec. Waterborne two-component (Bona Traffic HD, Loba 2K) for condos and commercial. Hardwax oil for owners who want a repairable, low-sheen European look and will maintain it. Oil-modified only when the client wants that warmer amber and accepts the odour window.

Sanding & Refinishing in Toronto — questions

How much does hardwood sanding, finishing & refinishing cost in Toronto?
For 900 sq ft in Toronto, budget roughly $5,200 to $7,350 before HST, at 2026 Greater Toronto labour and mill pricing. From $4.50–$8.50 / sq ft is the catalogue range; Toronto sits where it does because of local labour and access. A site measure is what turns that band into a firm number.
How long does sanding & refinishing take in a Toronto home?
4–6 days incl. cure window for 900 sq ft, plus the finish cure window where site finishing is involved. We book Toronto site visits within a few days and give you a written schedule before the crew arrives.
Do you actually work in Toronto, or just advertise there?
Toronto is inside our core service area and we work there every month. Solid white oak on wood joists, engineered over concrete condos, stair retreads in 3-storey semis, and porch restorations on Parkdale and High Park Victorians. Site visits in Toronto are free for qualified hardwood, stair, and railing work.
Can you match sanding & refinishing to the hardwood already in my Toronto house?
Yes — matching is the normal case, not the exception. We identify the species and grade, sample the stain against your existing boards in daylight, and sign the sample off with you before anything is cut. Victorian and Edwardian houses in the west end, mid-century bungalows in North York, glass condos downtown, and heritage estates in Rosedale and Forest Hill.
