“Flooring is one piece of a bigger puzzle, and as such it needs to fit within the homeowner’s overall aesthetic and budget. If the home has a very neutral setting and décor, a more dramatic flooring might be appropriate, but typically the flooring is a complementary component of the design and should work with the style of home, paint colours, etc.” – Zech Inkster (Founder at Plank + Saw: Hardwood Flooring in Victoria BC + Southern Vancouver Island + Gulf Islands) Read Interview here
We specialize in the restoration and refinishing of hardwood floors in heritage and character homes throughout Victoria, BC.
Our work preserves the original character of your home while bringing new life to floors that have been part of its story for generations.
Whether you’re restoring a heritage property, renovating a character home or simply want to retain its original materials, we’ll help determine the right approach for your floor.
Real hardwood naturally develops scratches, dents, fading and signs of use over time. That’s part of living with a natural material.
Refinishing gives us the opportunity to sand the existing surface back and create a new finish, dramatically changing the appearance of the floor without covering or replacing the original hardwood.
Refinishing can help address:
It can also be an opportunity to rethink the appearance of your floor with a different stain, sheen or finishing system.
Careful refinishing of original hardwood flooring in heritage and character properties, with consideration given to the age and style of the home.
Transform worn hardwood by sanding the floor back and applying a new finishing system.
Professional sanding and finishing for existing floors as well as newly installed unfinished hardwood.
Explore different stain colours, sealers, sheen levels and finishing options to create a floor that works with the rest of your interior.
Not every hardwood floor requires complete refinishing. Depending on its existing condition, a lighter rejuvenation or recoating process may be appropriate.
Zech and his team sanded and restored our main floor from years of wear and UV damage. He was responsive, friendly and helpful in the estimate process and the floor turned out great.
