Does Strong Roots Flooring refinish hardwood floors in Kelowna?

How much does hardwood floor refinishing cost in Kelowna?

The cost depends on the size and condition of your floor, the wood species, and the finish you choose. Refinishing is almost always more affordable than replacing hardwood, and a buff-and-recoat maintenance service costs less than a full sand-and-refinish.

Should I refinish or replace my hardwood floors?

If your existing hardwood is structurally sound, refinishing is usually the better choice — it is more affordable, far less wasteful, and can make old floors look new again. Replacement only makes sense when boards are badly damaged or too thin to sand. Strong Roots follows a refinish-first philosophy to save trees and reduce landfill waste.

How long does hardwood floor refinishing take?

A buff-and-recoat typically takes a single day. A full sand-and-refinish usually takes several days depending on the size of the area and the drying time of the finish or stain. We provide a clear timeline with every quote.

What is the difference between a full refinish and a buff and re-coat?

A full refinish sands the floor back to bare wood to remove deep scratches and dents, then applies new stain and finish. A buff-and-recoat lightly abrades the existing finish and adds a fresh top coat — ideal for floors with only surface wear, and done in one day. If you are unsure which your floor needs, we can assess it for you.

Can I stay in my home during floor refinishing?

In most cases yes, though the rooms being worked on must be cleared and kept off-limits while the finish cures. We walk you through exactly what to expect for your project so you can plan around it.
