Original Floors Under Generations of Coverings

Three kids, two dogs, and 20 years of birthday parties. Your floors show every bit of it. Scratches, stains, worn traffic paths. You love the memories. You're tired of the evidence.The Kitchen Addition That Never Matched
Someone added a kitchen in the 90s. Great layout. Terrible floor. It doesn't match your original hardwood, and that transition strip has bothered you every single day for 25 years.Old Ottawa South's Competitive Market

What Old Ottawa South Homeowners Say
"Our 1926 home had original hardwood in the living room and dining room, but 1970s carpet in the bedrooms and a 1990s kitchen floor that never matched. The installer carefully removed the carpet and found beautiful oak in perfect condition. He matched new wood in the kitchen and refinished everything. Our entire main floor is now cohesive and beautiful. We should have done this 20 years ago."
"I raised three kids in this house. The floors showed every soccer cleat, every spilled juice box, every puppy accident. I thought they were beyond saving. The installer said 'let me try.' He sanded, stained, and sealed. They look better than when I moved in 1985. I cried when I saw them."
"We were planning to sell and move closer to family in Toronto. Our realtor said the worn carpet was costing us. Got three quotes, picked our installer, and listed three weeks later. Sold in four days for $50,000 over asking. The buyers specifically mentioned the refinished hardwood. Best investment we ever made."
