Cumberland Floor Challenges
Village life is beautiful. Village floors? That's another story.
Village Home, City Expectations
Your Cumberland village home has charm. It also has 150 years of wear. You want to preserve the character. You also want floors that don't look like they survived the 1800s. Hard balance to strike.The 'Too Far' Problem
You're not in Ottawa. You're in Cumberland. To some contractors, that might as well be another province. 'We don't service that area.' 'There's a travel surcharge.' 'We'll call you back.' No they won't.Farmhouse Scale
Your home isn't a 1200 sq ft bungalow. It's a 3000 sq ft farmhouse with additions, porches, and rooms that were tacked on in 1920, 1950, and 1990. Matching floor levels and wood species is a puzzle.Generational Traffic
This house has held weddings, funerals, harvest parties, and Sunday dinners for four generations. The wear isn't superficial. It's in the bones of the wood. You don't want to erase history. You just want to see it more clearly.Why Cumberland Floors Are Worth The Trip
Cumberland is two communities in one.
There's the historic village—homes built in the 1800s and early 1900s, original wide-plank pine and oak, character that can't be manufactured. And there's rural Cumberland—acreage properties, country estates, modern farmhouses on generous land.
Both have the same problem: contractors who think 'east of Orleans' is too far.
Our refinishers don't see it that way. They serve Cumberland regularly. They know the village's heritage homes and the rural routes. They understand that a house on Buckland Road has different floor challenges than a house on Old Montreal Road.
They know how much sanding a true antique floor can handle—and when to stop. They know which finishes stand up to rural life: gravel driveways, muddy springs, dogs who patrol 10 acres and track half of it inside.
And they know that in Cumberland, reputation is currency. One bad job follows you. One good job gets you five referrals.
**Your floors are part of Cumberland's history. We treat them that way.**

Addition & Transition Masters
Homes that grew over generations have mismatched floor heights, different wood species, awkward transitions. Our refinishers make it all flow together.
Cumberland Homeowners Who Finally Refinished
"Our house was built in 1885. The original pine floors were under 60 years of carpet. I was so nervous about damaging them. The refinisher tested carefully, found we had plenty of wood left, and brought them back to life. They're not perfect—they have nail holes and character marks—and that's exactly what we wanted. He understood the assignment."
"We're on five acres. Our 1990s oak floors were destroyed by three kids and two giant dogs. I called five companies. Four said 'that's really far' or quoted insane travel fees. These guys said 'Cumberland? No problem, we're out there next week anyway.' Did the whole main floor in three days. Floors are bulletproof now. So glad we kept looking."
"We bought a village fixer-upper. The floors were this dark, almost black stain from the 1970s. Made the whole house feel small and cave-like. The refinisher suggested a natural white oak look. Three days later, our house gained 1000 square feet of visual space. Unbelievable transformation."
