Hardwood Floor Refinishing in Barrie & Simcoe County
Sand | Stain | 3 Coats of Poly | 6+ Years In Business Scratched, dull, or grey hardwood doesn't need replacing—it needs refinishing. We sand back to bare wood, stain to your colour, and seal with three coats of poly. From $3.50/sq ft. Floors that look brand new for a fraction of replacement cost.
Bring Tired Hardwood Back to Life
Hardwood is built to be refinished. Decades of scratches, sun-fade, and wear sand right off, and a fresh stain and three coats of polyurethane bring the floor back better than new. Refinishing runs $3.50–$5.00/sq ft depending on condition and stain—a fraction of the cost of new flooring. We sand to bare wood, fill what needs filling, stain to your chosen colour, and build up a durable poly finish. A site visit confirms the price and the floor's condition. Book your hardwood refinishing in Barrie today. Most estimates within 24 hours.

Why Refinishing Beats Replacing Hardwood
If the boards are solid, refinishing is almost always the right call—cheaper, faster, and it keeps your original wood. Here's the process: THE REFINISHING PROCESS: - Sand back to bare wood (drum + edge sanders) - Fill gaps and minor gouges as needed - Fine-sand for an even, smooth surface - Stain to your chosen colour - Three coats of polyurethane, buffed between coats REFINISH vs. REPLACE: - Refinish: $3.50–5/sq ft, keeps your original wood, 2–4 days - Replace: several times the cost, plus removal and disposal Solid and most engineered hardwoods can be refinished. We'll confirm yours is a candidate during the estimate.
We Refinish Hardwood Across Barrie
Living rooms, bedrooms, stairs and landings, whole main floors. Oak, maple, and engineered hardwood across every Barrie neighbourhood from Holly to South Shore to East Bayfield to Allandale.
SCRATCHED & WORN FLOORS
Years of foot traffic, pets, and furniture leave the finish scratched and worn through. Sanding removes it all; fresh stain and poly bring back a smooth, even, protected surface.
GREY, SUN-FADED HARDWOOD
Sun and age turn hardwood grey and lifeless, especially near windows. Refinishing sands away the damaged surface layer and restores rich, even colour across the whole floor.
CHANGING THE STAIN COLOUR
Want to go from honey oak to a modern walnut or grey? Refinishing is the time to do it—we sand to bare wood and apply the new stain colour you choose before sealing.
WATER-STAINED OR PATCHED AREAS
Dark water marks, pet stains, or boards that were patched and never matched. Sanding and a full refinish blend everything into one consistent, like-new floor.
If your hardwood is structurally sound, refinishing is the smart choice—original wood, a brand-new finish, and a fraction of the cost of replacement. From $3.50/sq ft, sanded, stained, and sealed.

Hardwood Refinishing Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions we get from our customers.
$3.50–$5.00 per square foot depending on the floor’s condition and the stain, with a 200 sq ft minimum. That includes sanding to bare wood, staining, and three coats of polyurethane. A 300 sq ft room runs roughly $1,050–$1,500 before tax, plus 13% HST.
Much cheaper—usually a fraction of the cost, since you keep your original wood and skip removal and disposal. If the boards are solid, refinishing gives you a brand-new finish for far less than new flooring.
Yes—refinishing is the ideal time to change colour. We sand back to bare wood, so we can take you from honey oak to walnut, grey, natural, or anything you like before sealing.
Three coats of polyurethane, buffed between coats for a smooth, durable result. Some crews cut corners with two; we build up three for a finish that holds up to real foot traffic.
Most rooms take 2–4 days including dry time between coats. You can usually walk on it carefully (socks) within about 24 hours of the last coat, with furniture back after a few days and full cure in a couple of weeks.
Often, yes—if the wear layer is thick enough. We confirm during the estimate whether your engineered floor is a refinishing candidate. Solid hardwood can almost always be refinished, often several times over its life.
Sanding does create dust, so we use edge and drum sanders with collection, seal off adjacent rooms, and clean up thoroughly. It’s far less mess than people expect.
Yes. WSIB clearance and liability coverage, with an even sand and a full three-coat finish. Every refinishing job is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
