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

  1. Free In-Home Assessment: We inspect your floors, test the wood thickness, and discuss your goals (natural, dark stain, matte vs. gloss).
  2. Dustless Sanding: Our dust-containment system captures 99% of sanding dust — keeping your home clean and your family safe.
  3. Stain Application: Choose from dozens of stain colours. We apply test patches so you approve the exact colour before we proceed.
  4. Polyurethane Finish: 2–3 coats of commercial-grade oil-based or water-based polyurethane for maximum durability.
  5. 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

Not sure? Our free in-home assessment will tell you exactly what your floors need. We'll always recommend refinishing when it's the right call — it saves you money and preserves your original floors.
