They'll assess your floors, tell you what's possible, and bring back what's been hiding for decades. Dustless. Fast. Free quotes from south Ottawa specialists.
The South Keys Floor Mystery
You've lived with carpet for years. What's underneath? The answer is usually 'good news.'
Three Decades of Stain Choices
1970s dark brown. 1980s golden oak. 1990s honey maple. Whatever era your home was built, the stain is probably dated. You're ready for something you actually chose.The Carpet That Stayed Too Long
It was beige in 1987. Now it's... not beige. Stains. Worn paths. That smell. You know it needs to go. But what's underneath? Most of the time? Perfectly good oak waiting for its moment.Townhome & Condo Logistics
Shared walls, strata rules, neighbour considerations. Your refinisher needs to work clean, work quiet, and work within building guidelines.Decades of Family Pets
Thirty, forty years of dogs and cats. Those scratches aren't damage—they're memories. But you're ready to make new memories on fresh floors.Why South Keys Floors Are Worth Refinishing
South Keys has been south Ottawa's shopping and community hub since the 1960s—and the surrounding homes reflect that history.
Your home might be a 1970s bungalow near the golf course. A 1980s townhome off Bank. A 1990s condo complex. Whatever it is, one thing is consistent: real hardwood, installed when builders still did it standard.
After 30-50 years of family life, those floors are tired. The finish is worn in traffic paths. The stain is dated. There are scratches from every pet, every kid, every piece of furniture moved since the 20th century.
But here's what most South Keys homeowners don't realize: your floors have 5, 6, even 7 refinishings left. You've only used one.
Our refinishers have done 70+ South Keys homes. They know the streets around the shopping centre, the townhome complexes, the quiet crescents. They know how much sanding is safe on each era's flooring.

South Keys Neighbors Who Found Their Floors
"Our 1985 townhome had that golden oak stain. So orange. My wife hated it. I thought we needed new floors—$12,000 quote. The refinisher said 'you have beautiful oak under here.' Three days later, our floors were a beautiful greige with matte finish. My wife cried. I almost did too. $3,400. Should have done it years ago."
"I bought my 1978 bungalow in 1990 and the carpet was already 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 1978 again, but better. I'm 74 and I still get down on my hands and knees to admire them."
"Our condo board had strict rules about sanding—dust containment, quiet hours, insurance requirements. The refinisher said 'I do this all the time.' He provided everything the board needed, worked during permitted hours, and my neighbour didn't even know he was here. Floors are gorgeous. Total professional."
