What Makes Bull Tough Flooring Different From Other Calgary Flooring Companies?

Unlike many general flooring companies in Calgary, we work exclusively with solid hardwood. As dedicated hardwood flooring specialists, our focus is on refinishing, repairing, and installing hardwood floors with dustless sanding systems and lifetime installation warranties.

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 is Hardwood Floor Refinishing?

Refinishing hardwood flooring in Calgary includes both restoring old floors and finishing new floors. We do this by sanding down and removing the top layer of old stain and damaged wood. This is an exceptionally fine sanding process and is different for every floor, depending on the state of the wood underneath.

If there are gaps in the wood, we often will not fill them because the floor will expand and contract, but if the gaps are noticeably large, we will do spot fills or trowel fills to eliminate these gaps.

What Stain Should I Use?

The easiest way to begin this process is for you to send us a picture of the look or feel of the flooring you would like. Once we understand this, we will work to get as close as possible to that look, ensuring competitive hardwood refinishing prices for the quality we deliver. We will put stain samples on the floor after it is sanded so that you have the opportunity to react and choose your stain.

We specialize in and love doing custom stain mixes. Bull Tough guarantees that you will get a colour you love.

Once the stain is selected, we will begin the staining process. Each coat typically takes a few hours, depending on the space. This process includes:

Second coat – this is a sealing coat, using fans to dry.
A final buff and review with the client.
Touch-ups – there are typically a few touch-ups required.
Clean up – your floor should be as close to perfect as it gets! We will leave your house clean!
