Victoria Hardwood Floor Installation and Refinishing
Hardwood floors are timeless. They have been in use for centuries (and show no signs of going out of style), and they will last for almost a century if they are properly cared for. From deep, rich mahogany tones to light and airy blonde woods, hardwood floors set the tone of the entire room without requiring you to decorate in any particular style.
Regardless of the color and style you choose, hardwood floors are an investment in your home and yourself. And they aren’t just for homes, either! Many businesses enjoy the simplicity and elegance of solid wood flooring, as well as its longevity and durability. From law offices to boutiques, hardwood gives clients and customers a feeling of confidence in the quality of the services and goods they will receive.

Why Choose Hardwood?
Many of our clients want the look of hardwood but are hesitant about the initial investment that it requires. Though solid hardwood is one of the more expensive flooring options available today, it has many benefits and will more than pay for itself over time.
Hardwood is incredibly durable, and even if it does get scratched, it can easily be repaired. Scuffs and chips can be buffed out and filled, and though its finish will wear down over time, solid hardwood can be refinished many times throughout its life. If you are looking to remodel, hardwood refinishing is also a cost-effective way to change the color of your floor.
Hardwood is also a great choice for commercial flooring in Victoria. It is very easy to clean - a broom, a mop, or even a vacuum is all you need for routine cleaning! A great hardwood floor will also give your whole business a refined and sophisticated look. It even provides some sound deadening, making it ideal for dance studios, concert halls, and theaters.
For homeowners, hardwood is an investment that will give great returns if you decide to sell your house. Homebuyers will often replace other flooring types after purchasing a new home, but they are generally willing to keep (and therefore pay more) for hardwood. Even if you don’t plan on selling your home anytime soon, a well-installed hardwood floor will last you for as long as you live in the home.
Hardwood Installation and Refinishing Services
While wood is often an essential material in DIY projects, hardwood floor projects require precision and knowledge that all of the hardwood floor specialist articles you might find on the internet cannot give you. If you need a hardwood floor installation in Victoria, BC, let our technicians ensure that your project goes smoothly, is completed on time and on budget, and gives you a professional-looking final product.
There are several ways to install hardwood, so choosing the best way for your space and your lifestyle is the first step in any project. The installation method chosen determines the way in which the subfloor is prepared - for the most long-lasting installation, a plywood subfloor may need to be installed first. There is also an acclimation period for hardwood planks, so we will never begin installing planks on the same day they are delivered - doing so can cause warping and cracking after installation!
Once your planks and subfloor are ready, our hardwood installers can complete most jobs in a single day. Since we do this every day, the precise measurements and cuts required for a perfect fit come naturally to us! Before leaving your home or business, we will advise you exactly how long to wait before using your new floor, as this can vary with the type of installation as well.
Once complete, your new hardwood floor installation will last for seven to ten years with only basic routine cleaning before it needs to be refinished. When that time comes, give our hardwood floor refinishing experts a call to make your floors look like new for another decade!
While they maintain all their other great characteristics (durability, ease of cleaning, sound absorption, etc.) regardless of their appearance, solid hardwood floors will lose their shine and even some of their color after seven to ten years of use. Unlike with other flooring types, however, this does not mean that it is time to replace your floor. It is simply time to have it refinished!
Refinishing hardwood involves sanding down the surface of the entire floor, first with a rough sandpaper to remove any stains or damage, then with progressively finer sandpapers and buffing pads until the floor is perfectly smooth. After thoroughly cleaning the floor to remove any dust, new stain and finish are applied (in any color you would like!). Once the floor is dry, you can begin using your (like) new floor - no tear out or demolition is required!
While there are many home renovation companies and flooring companies in Victoria, BC, it is very important that you hire a highly-qualified hardwood flooring specialist to refinish your floors. A professional will make your refinished hardwood flooring look just like it did the day it was installed (with any color changes you might want); a jack-of-all-trades renovator may be able to restore its shine but might lack the skill to perfectly blend the stain, apply a smooth top coat of finish, and remove scratches and other imperfections in the process.
For expert hardwood floor refinishing in Victoria, you can trust the professionals at Tiling Victoria. We have years of experience in both installing and restoring solid hardwood floors in every type of environment. No stain is too big, no gouge too deep, and no change of color too drastic for our hardwood professionals.
