How Long Will the Process Take?

The length of the process depends on the size and service type of the hardwood floor project. 3 days for dustless hardwood floor refinishing in Calgary for an average 1000 sq. ft. floor. 5–6 days for an average 1000 sq. ft hardwood floor installation. Most projects less than 500 sq. ft can be completed in less than 2 days.

How Can I Prevent Scratches On My Hardwood Floors?

To keep your hardwood floors in peak condition, we recommend placing felt pads under furniture legs, use area rugs in high-traffic areas, and keep pet nails trimmed. Avoid dragging furniture across the floor.

What Kind of Maintenance Can I Do at Home?

Regular maintenance of hardwood floors can extend the longevity and reduce the need for costly repairs. We recommend using a microfiber mop or cloth with a hardwood floor cleaner when cleaning your floors to minimize damage to your hardwood floors. We can also complete a maintenance coat on your floors as an effective, inexpensive method to maintain your floors and prolong their life.

Do You Sand Under the Fridge, Stove, or Dishwasher?

You can leave appliances in place, and we can refinish up to them; however, if you’re going to be changing the colour we recommend removing the fridge and stove. You can remove or reinstall them or have us take care of it.

Should I Remove the Baseboards?

You have a choice. If you leave them in place, minor paint touch ups will be required. If you choose to remove them the effort will be rewarded. Removing the baseboards allows us to refinish right up to the wall so when the baseboards are replaced you will have a clean and sharp looking finished edge. We call the baseboards the picture frame to the art it contains.

Should I Remove the Sink and Toilet in the Washroom?

Yes, in a tight space like a half bathroom you typically need to remove the toilet and sink. In some situations, we can refinish around them; in this case, please clean the toilet base thoroughly.

Can You Use a Matte or Flat Finish?

Yes, the sheen of the finishes ranges from high gloss to ultra-flat. Our most popular product is a high durability, low maintenance, ultra-flat hardwood floor finish.

How Do I Pick a Stain Colour?

Picking the stain is a simple but thorough process. First we discuss your options. Secondly, we use pictures and videos to show you your options and thirdly, we sand the floor down the bare wood and then put a few stain samples down as a reference point. From there, we can customize the colour to your liking.

How Much Do You Charge to Install/Refinish a Floor?

Hardwood flooring installation costs in Calgary and refinishing costs will depend on several factors, so we don’t use a specific dollar per square foot to calculate your quote. The job is broken down into various stages and priced accordingly.

How Often Should I Refinish My Hardwood Floors?

The frequency in which you should refinish your hardwood floors depends on the amount of foot traffic and the condition of the floors. Generally, hardwood floors should be refinished every 7–10 years.

What Are the Benefits of Dustless Hardwood Refinishing?

Dustless hardwood floor refinishing uses advanced vacuum technology to capture dust at the source, reducing airborne particles and minimizing cleanup. It has quickly become a popular choice for hardwood flooring in Calgary and across the world. Some of the benefits include minimized dust and allergens, improved air quality and enhanced safety, better finish quality, environmentally friendly processing, and less cleanup and downtime.

What is the Floor Sanding Process?

Bull Tough is proud to offer dustless hardwood refinishing in Calgary. The process involves floor preparation, checking and securing the floor, checking moisture readings, confirming stain colour, sanding hardwood floor, applying stain, applying topcoats, cleanup, inspection, touch ups, and final inspection.

For hardwood flooring in Calgary, there are only a few professional grade products available. For staining, we use Bona DriFast Stain. This is a great product.

Maintenance Coats

Maintenance coats are an essential part of making sure your floor lasts a lifetime. Regardless of how much or little the floor is used, eventually the original finish starts to wear away and exposes raw wood. Once the floor reaches this stage, its too late. The whole floor will need a full re-sand if you wait until this happens. Maintenance coats are usually a one-day process and are approximately three times cheaper than a full re-sand, making it an excellent option to quickly freshen up old floors.
