Riverside South Floor Challenges
Your home isn't old. But your floors look older than they should.
Builder Beige Fatigue
It wasn't your choice. It was just what the builder installed in 2010. Now it's dated, it's faded, and it doesn't go with anything you've done to the rest of your home. Time for a color you actually picked.Active Family Life
Riverside South is family central. That means kids, dogs, and daily traffic. Your floors have held up beautifully—but they're tired. The finish is worn. The shine is gone.The Open Concept Wear Path
From the front door, through the great room, into the kitchen. That path has seen 10+ years of footsteps. The finish is completely worn through. The wood underneath is fine. You just can't see it anymore.Kitchen Island Scuffs
Those bar stools. Pushed in and pulled out a thousand times. The floor around your island is scratched and worn. It's the first thing you see every morning.Why Riverside South Floors Are Worth Refinishing
Riverside South is one of Ottawa's fastest-growing communities—and your floors have grown with you.
Here's what most Riverside South homeowners don't realize: that 'builder grade' hardwood is solid 3/4 inch oak or maple. It has 6-8 refinishings in its future. You've only used one.
You don't need new floors. You need a refinisher who knows how to make 10-year-old builder floors look 2025 fresh.
Our refinishers have done 80+ Riverside South homes. They know the streets around the river, the crescents, the new developments. They know which builders used red oak versus maple. They know how much sanding it takes to remove a decade of family wear.
And they know that in Riverside South, your schedule is packed. They work while you're at work. They're done before hockey practice. They leave your home cleaner than they found it.
**Your floors are solid. Your stain is just ready for retirement.**

Riverside South Neighbors Who Updated
"We built our house in 2012. Those floors were fine for 10 years. Then suddenly they just looked... old. The stain was orangey, the traffic paths were shiny, the rest was dull. The refinisher suggested a white oak look with matte finish. Three days later, our 2012 floors look like 2025. Best $3,500 we ever spent."
"Two kids under 10. One labradoodle. Our floors looked like a war zone. I was pricing out new installation—$16,000. A neighbor said 'just refinish them.' I was skeptical. The refinisher came, said we had plenty of wood left, and three days later I couldn't find a single scratch. Not one. My husband walked in and said 'did we get new floors?' Exactly the reaction I wanted."
"Our kitchen island floor was destroyed. Those bar stools had scratched a ring around the island. The refinisher focused on that area, blended it with the rest of the floor, and now you literally cannot find the damage. He saved us from replacing the whole kitchen floor. So happy."
