The Westboro Floor Challenge
You love your home's prestige. But prestige includes 100+ years of wear.
A Century of Desirable Living
Your floors have held generations of families who knew Westboro was special before it was trendy. That's history. It's also a lot of wear. The finish is gone in traffic paths. The stain has faded. But the wood itself? Still magnificent.Richmond Road Village Life
Living steps from Westboro's shops and restaurants is a dream. But decades of foot traffic, delivery trucks, and village activity have taken a toll on neighbourhood floors.Heritage Conservation Restrictions
Your home may be in a heritage conservation district. You can't just do whatever you want. Some finishes aren't appropriate. Some techniques are too aggressive. You need a refinisher who knows the rules.Previous 'Updates' to Undo
Someone in the 1970s stained the oak dark walnut. Someone in the 1990s tried to sand and left gouges. Someone else patched with the wrong wood. Your beautiful heritage floors have been through some questionable decisions.Why Westboro Floors Are Ottawa's Most Coveted
Westboro wasn't always Ottawa's trendiest neighbourhood. For decades, it was simply the village by the river—a quiet streetcar suburb where families put down roots and stayed.
Your home is part of that authentic history. Victorian workers' cottages. Edwardian family homes. Craftsman bungalows. Arts and Crafts masterpieces. Each with its own story, its own wood, its own character.
That 1910 quarter-sawn oak? It catches light like tiger stripes. That 1920 wide-plank pine? It's soft and warm and absolutely irreplaceable. That 1930 fir? It's blonde and beautiful and rarely seen anymore.
But after a century of service, even the finest floors need attention. Traffic paths are worn through the finish. The stain is dated. There are scratches from every child, every pet, every piece of furniture moved since the 20th century began.
Our refinishers have done 100+ Westboro homes. They know Richmond, Byron, Churchill, Dovercourt, Hanley, Broadview. They know which houses have quarter-sawn oak versus plain-sawn. They know the heritage conservation guidelines and which finishes are approved.

Westboro Neighbors Who Saved Their Floors
"Our 1912 home has quarter-sawn oak that someone had stained dark walnut in the 1970s. It hid all the beautiful tiger stripes. I was terrified of damaging the floors. The refinisher said 'I can bring out the grain without taking too much wood.' He was true to his word. Three days later, the medullary rays were visible again. The floors look like they did in 1912. Worth every penny."
"Our home is in a heritage conservation district. I assumed refinishing would be impossible. The refinisher said 'I've done thirty houses in Westboro.' He knew exactly which finishes were approved. The board signed off in two days. Our 1908 oak floors are alive again. He even matched the stain to the original—I found a patch under a radiator and he color-matched perfectly."
"Our 1920 craftsman had fir floors that were three different stains from different owners. It looked like a patchwork quilt. The refinisher said 'I can make them all match.' He sanded everything and applied a consistent natural finish. Now the whole main floor flows together perfectly. You can't tell where one room ends and another begins. Magic."
