Professional Hardwood Refinishing in Markham & the GTA
Scratched, faded, or worn hardwood floors don't need to be replaced — they need to be refinished. BBS Flooring's refinishing team restores solid and engineered hardwood floors to like-new condition using professional-grade equipment and finishes.
We handle everything from single-room touch-ups to full-home refinishing projects. Whether it's a 30-year-old red oak floor that needs new life or a recent installation that needs a colour change, we've done it.
Our Refinishing Process
- Free In-Home Assessment: We inspect your floors, test the wood thickness, and discuss your goals (natural, dark stain, matte vs. gloss).
- Dustless Sanding: Our dust-containment system captures 99% of sanding dust — keeping your home clean and your family safe.
- Stain Application: Choose from dozens of stain colours. We apply test patches so you approve the exact colour before we proceed.
- Polyurethane Finish: 2–3 coats of commercial-grade oil-based or water-based polyurethane for maximum durability.
- Final Inspection: We walk through the finished floors with you to ensure everything meets your expectations.

When to Refinish vs. Replace
Refinish if:
- Surface scratches, dull finish, or minor dents
- You want to change the stain colour
- The wood is still structurally sound (enough wear layer remaining)
- You love the character of your existing floors
Replace if:
- Deep water damage, warping, or buckling
- The wood has been sanded too many times (less than 1mm wear layer)
- You want a completely different species or plank width
