Your Beaverbrook Home Has Original Oak. We'll Prove It.
Beaverbrook was Kanata before Kanata was Kanata. 1970s split-levels and bungalows with solid 3/4 inch oak that's been hiding under carpet for 30 years. Or maybe it's exposed—but it's that dark brown stain from 1975. Either way, your floors are ready for their next chapter. We connect you with refinishers who know Beaverbrook's streets, its era, and its original character. Dustless sanding. Modern colors. Free quotes from Kanata's original community specialists.
The Beaverbrook Floor Story
Forty, fifty years of family life. Your floors have seen it all.
1970s Dark Brown Stain
It wasn't your choice. It was just what everyone did in 1975. Now that stain is so dark it swallows light and makes your beautiful split-level feel like a cave. You're ready for something brighter.The Carpet That Stayed Too Long
Someone in 1988 put down beige broadloom. Then someone else replaced it with mauve in 1996. Then oatmeal in 2005. Three generations of carpet, and the original oak underneath hasn't seen light in 40 years.Split-Level Transition Troubles
Half steps. Landings. Open railings. Beaverbrook invented the split-level. But making floors flow through these transitions is an art—and not every refinisher has mastered it.Generations of Family Pets
First a golden. Then a beagle. Then another golden. Fifty years of dog nails clicking across your oak. Those scratches aren't damage—they're memories. But you're ready to make new memories on fresh floors.Why Beaverbrook Floors Are Kanata Treasures
Before Kanata Lakes. Before Katimavik. Before the tech park exploded. There was Beaverbrook.
Kanata's first community, built in the 1960s and 70s for the engineers and scientists who were just starting to move west. Your home is part of that history.
And your floors? They're part of why Beaverbrook has lasted. Solid 3/4 inch red oak, milled when trees were older and wood was tighter. Not the thin engineered stuff they install today. Real hardwood with 5, 6, even 7 refinishings left in its future.
But after 50 years, even the best floors get tired. The finish is worn in traffic paths. The stain is dated—that 1970s dark brown that made sense when harvest gold appliances were fashionable. And if you have carpet? There's a whole world of beautiful oak waiting to be rediscovered.
Our refinishers have done 100+ Beaverbrook homes. They know Steeple Chase, Abbeyhill, the winding streets around the lake. They know which models have red oak versus white oak. They know how much sanding is safe on a floor that's already been through one or two refinishings.
And they know that in Beaverbrook, people don't leave. They renovate. They update. They stay. Your floors are ready for the next 50 years.
**Your floors are original Beaverbrook. They should be treated that way.**

Beaverbrook Neighbors Who Found Their Floors
"Our 1976 split-level had those dark brown floors. So dark. My wife said it felt like living in a basement. I thought we needed new floors—$18,000 quote. The refinisher said 'you have beautiful oak under here. Let me show you.' He sanded a test patch in a closet. We both gasped. Three days later, our whole main floor was natural oak with a matte finish. My wife cried. I almost did too. $3,900. Should have done it 10 years ago."
"I bought my house in 1987 and the carpet was already 10 years old. I finally pulled it up last year. The oak underneath was perfect—just needed sanding and clear finish. The refinisher was so careful with the tack strip marks. He blended everything beautifully. My floors look like 1972 again, but better. I'm 78 and I still get down on my hands and knees to admire them."
"We have the original 1970s oak but someone had stained it dark walnut. Dated. Dark. Depressing. The refinisher suggested a white oak effect with matte finish. The transformation is unreal. Our house feels twice as big. Our realtor said we just added $15,000 in value. We're not selling, but it's nice to know."
