Hardwood Floor Refinishing in Ottawa, Ontario
Ottawa homeowners have long been underserved when it comes to quality hardwood floor refinishing. Many local companies use oil-based finishes with strong fumes, take weeks to complete a job, or leave behind dust throughout the home. MKZ Hardwood Refinishing brings a different standard to Ottawa — the same water-based, fast-drying, professional dust-controlled process that has earned us a 4.9-star reputation across Toronto and the GTA.
Why Ottawa Homes Need Professional Refinishing
Ottawa’s climate — with cold, dry winters and humid summers — puts significant stress on hardwood floors. The seasonal expansion and contraction of wood, combined with years of foot traffic, UV exposure through windows, and the buildup of cleaning products like Mop & Glo or Rejuvenate, means that most Ottawa hardwood floors need professional attention every 7–10 years. Refinishing costs a fraction of replacement and can make decades-old floors look completely new.
Hardwood Refinishing in Ottawa’s Heritage Homes
Neighbourhoods like the Glebe, Westboro, Hintonburg, Sandy Hill, and Rockcliffe Park are full of beautiful heritage homes with original hardwood floors — red oak, white oak, maple, and pine dating back decades. These floors are irreplaceable. Our team has the experience to carefully sand heritage hardwood, match existing stain colours, and bring these floors back to their original character without over-sanding and damaging the wood.
Engineered Hardwood in Ottawa Condos
Ottawa’s growing condo market in Centretown, Hintonburg, and along the LRT corridor means more and more residents have engineered hardwood floors. Many assume these can’t be refinished — but if your floor has a 3mm or thicker wear layer, we can sand and refinish it. We use the Lägler Hummel — the same machine used by professional flooring contractors worldwide — to safely sand engineered floors without burning through the veneer.

A typical Ottawa home of around 1,000 sq ft takes 4–5 days — including sanding, staining, and 3 coats of water-based finish with drying time between each coat. You can walk on the floors lightly after 4 hours of the final coat.
Absolutely. We regularly work with original red oak, white oak, maple, and pine floors in Ottawa's older neighbourhoods. As long as there's enough wood left to sand (typically 3+ previous sandings before the floor is too thin), we can restore it.
Water-based only — on every job, in every city we serve. Water-based finish has low odour, dries in hours rather than days, and produces a cleaner, more durable result than oil-based alternatives.
Pricing is based on square footage and the condition of your floors. Call us at 613-209-4765 or fill out the quote form for a free, no-obligation estimate. We'll give you a clear price before any work begins.
