My floors look wonderful, way beyond what I had hoped for. The bit by the balcony is 100% better too. Thanks again to Kyle for a job well-done & for leaving the keys, and to Stefanie for your help! Thank you for such a professional job. Your employee was on time, explained everything and answered questions, worked through the hottest day of the year and was an unobtrusive as possible since we were still "living" here and trying to function.
Dustless Hardwood Floor Refinishing requires large powerful vacuums to contain the dust from the sanding. There are always limitations to the effectiveness of any piece of equipment. When the floor is very uneven or when we are doing stairs, some dust does leak out with the small sanders because they have to be tilted to even out areas or remove finish.
There are times when sanding or the current condition of your floor just can't be fixed. At Scotia Floor Care we have been industry trained to replace or install most hardwood. In the case of the above photo the client's floor was used as a sub floor and could not be salvaged. We installed and finished a new pine floor over it.
The overall look of your hardwood floor is determined by your first coat because we are using a clear coat over top of the first coat. You can choose between an oil based or water based polyurethane coating. We often use the oil based sealer to match an existing floor that does not require refinish.
We can discuss the final sheen after sanding is completed. We offer a variety of different products and looks. Gloss, semi-gloss, satin and matte for shine. Most people use satin. The sanding process we follow and products we use determine the number of coatings that go on a floor. Most times it is 3 coats, 1 sealer and 2 coats of finish.

We absolutely love the worked completed by Scotia Floor Care Ltd. The work completed was of extremely high quality and reasonably priced and completed on time, not withstanding the fact that the scope of work spanned the Christmas New Years period.
Kyle was very responsive to the many questions we had, and displayed a high degree professionalism explaining why he was unable to give us exactly what we were asking for because of the current material shortage in the Covid market place, and what we were asking for could not be achieved when you are refinishing natural wood. Not withstanding this situation

We recently had our main floor refinished by Scotia Floor Care and we are extremely pleased with the results. The floor looks amazing. More importantly, we have done a lot of work with contractors recently both internally and externally. Almost all over promise and under deliver and our landscaping project took 6 months longer than it should have. Not Kyle. He showed up when he said he would be there, the job went exactly how he described it would go, and it was completed exactly when he said it would be done. It was refreshing to deal with someone who did exactly what they said they would do when

WOW WOW WOW FANTASTIC JOB !
Kyle did an absolutely amazing job bringing 125 year old hardwood floors back to "original Life" in my Victorian Heritage home (Living room, Dining room and Office /Den) . He went the extra mile and repaired some small holes left from back in the day - when electric sockets were in the floor and installed raisers. These floors look better now than the day they were installed. Kyle worked log hours on this job is a true professional with close attention to detail. I very highly recommend him and Scotia Floor Care. Again W O W !!

We had our hardwood floors refinished in March 2021. We had oak floors that had yellowed with age. We had a stain called “early American’ applied to our floors with an oil polyurethane applied for a protection.… We LOVE our new floors. You can see the care that was taken to achieve such beautiful results. I would recommend Scotia Floor Care ! Stephanie answered my inquires in a very timely manner and was always very pleasant.

Kyle was very meticulous about his work and knowledgeable as well. he advised us the best way to keep the floor looking as good as the day he finished. We are very happy with the results and love supporting local. Stefanie kept us informed of all the administrative details and she too was very helpful. The cost was very reasonable and I would highly recommend Kyle and Stefanie for any of your hardwood refinishing projects.
