What we walk into in Pickering
1970s–90s subdivisions through Amberlea and Liverpool, older lakefront stock around Frenchman's Bay, and thousands of new units at Seaton that arrive with the cheapest stair the builder could specify.
Carpet-to-oak stair conversions, main-floor engineered over 1980s subfloors, and matching new work to twenty-year-old red oak.
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.
