Hardwood Floor Refinishing Services in Calgary, AB
Sanding & Refinishing Hardwood Floors
Sanding, Staining, & Refinishing Hardwood Floors – Traditional hardwood floor refinishing is our specialty. Let us perform an on-site visit, and we will evaluate the current condition of your hardwood floors. To the untrained eye, they may all look the same. That’s why you can count on our over three decades of experience to accurately assess your flooring situation, including the species of wood, whether it was pre-finished or finished on site, whether it has a top nail, and the thickness of the top layer, among others. During our visit, we would also like to learn more about your personal preferences. Hardwood floor refinishing gives you a lot of freedom with the choice of colour, finish, and overall look of your floors.
Sandless Floor Refinishing
Sandless Floor Refinishing (same as Recoating and Screening). Are you happy overall with your current hardwood floors, but feel that they just don’t look as bright as they did, and regular mopping doesn’t seem to do the trick? We can definitely help! Sandless hardwood floor refinishing, also known as recoating, is a method of removing the top layer of the dull finish and reapplying a new finish, so your floors get their fresh look back. Moreover, if regularly done, recoating can actually increase your floors durability and longevity, which is good for your wallet!
Complete Hardwood Floor Restoration
Hardwood floor restoration is a custom way to find the best service option/solution to remedy your current flooring issues. It might include hardwood floor installation and add-ons or an extension of your existing wood floors (we will carefully match the wood floors’ type, plank size, and species). Repairs can also be made for minor damages, but in case of pet-related stains and deep scratches, water damages, and spot burns, we can replace individual planks and perfectly match them to the original hardwood flooring in terms of species, dimensions, and even natural wood aging. We also do custom staining (to match old floors or match your design requirements) and can do an on-site live stain demonstration, in addition to demonstrating selected or custom stain finishes, so you can see how new floors will match your living space.

“Miracle workers!!! I had left on vacation for these other people to do my floor and they ruined it. But Claudio and his team resurrected it and saved our floors. The work was all completed in one day while my wife and I were gone for work. And when I got home they brought out the natural wood beauty back!! Thank you so much for the amazing job!”
Randy Friesen
“1 Day Hardwood Refinishing was excellent from the beginning to the end. The Rep. showed us how everything would be done, gave us referrals etc. They started right on time and the result was amazing. The place was perfectly clean and very little dust was left anywhere. Our 30 year old natural yellowed hardwood floors were stained gray and look brand new . The colour variation is beautiful and we didn’t imagine they could look so good. Soooo worth every penny. We highly recommend this company!”
Jindra Casperson
“I had a great experience with this company. I called, got a great quote, it took 2 days and my maple floors look amazing! There was minimal dust and little clean up after they were finished. If you’ve been thinking about getting your floors redone and dreading the work and cost involved like I did, call these guys, they are professional and cost efficient”

The Refinishing Process
Steps of Refinishing Hardwood Floors
1. Initial Quote Request & On-Site Estimation
Phone, email, or send us an online request for a free on-site estimation. At a time that is convenient for you, we will inspect your floors to select the best service option and provide a detailed, no-obligation estimate.
2. Dustless Hardwood Floor Sanding & Repairs
If required, we will perform wood boards repairs and installations, and then we will rough-sand the floor to remove old finishes, stains, scratches, and other damages.
3. Staining Hardwood Floors (optional)
We will help you choose the best stain colour for your wood floors that suits your design goals and aesthetic. Before the actual work begins, we can do a custom stain demo directly on the sanded floor.
4. Finishing Hardwood Floors
We use eco-friendly fast dry oil (rare) or water based finishes. Depending on the finish system you choose, we can apply between 1 to 3 layers of hardwood finish.
5. Clean-Up & Work Completion
We always do a pre-work dust protection setup and after work general clean-up to make sure that you receive both new refinished wood floors and a pleasant experience.

FAQ: Hardwood Floor Refinishing
How much does it cost to refinish hardwood floors?
Hardwood floor refinishing in Calgary typically costs between $2.60 and $6 per square foot, depending on:
- Type of wood (solid or engineered)
- Thickness of the top wear layer
- Existing finish (urethane, oil, aluminum oxide, etc.)
- Type of new finish (oil- or water-based)
- Additional repairs or board replacements
Free on-site estimates help homeowners see exactly what to expect. Refinishing is usually much more affordable than replacing the entire floor.
How Long Does It Take To Refinish Hardwood Floors?
Most projects in Calgary are completed within 1–3 days. Our specialists use dustless sanding and fast-drying low-VOC finishes to minimize disruption. Larger or older homes may require slightly more time due to wood preparation and moisture control.
Are low-VOC finishes safe for families and pets?
Yes! All finishes comply with Canadian low-VOC standards, ensuring healthy indoor air. They are ideal for households with children and pets. Using these finishes keeps your home comfortable while maintaining professional, long-lasting results.
Can damaged or water-affected hardwood floors be safely repaired and refinished?
Minor scratches, dents, and water damage can usually be repaired before refinishing. Our non-toxic finishes ensure safe indoor air quality. Floors are properly dried and prepped to withstand Calgary’s seasonal weather, restoring:
- Beauty and shine
- Durability
- Comfort for daily living
Do you offer stair refinishing along with floor refinishing?
Yes! Stairs can be sanded, stained, and sealed to match your floors. Proper sealing protects stair treads from moisture and wear caused by Calgary’s seasonal changes. Many homeowners find that refinishing stairs and floors together saves time and ensures a uniform, polished look.
Can commercial spaces be refinished, such as offices or restaurants?
Absolutely. We service offices, cafés, retail spaces, and other commercial locations across Calgary, Airdrie, and Calgary Metropolitan Area. Our refinishing process is designed for high-traffic spaces and ensures long-lasting durability.
What warranties or guarantees are offered for refinishing projects?
All projects come with a workmanship guarantee covering sanding, staining, and finishing. This gives homeowners confidence that their floors will remain protected for years. Regular maintenance helps prevent damage from moisture, foot traffic, and daily wear.
How often should homeowners refinish their floors to maintain quality?
Hardwood floors typically need refinishing every 10–15 years, depending on wear and traffic. High-traffic areas may require attention sooner. Regular refinishing helps floors withstand Calgary’s seasonal humidity, temperature changes, and daily use.
