Hardwood Floor Care for Scarborough's Postwar Homes

Scarborough, from the Bluffs to Agincourt

Scarborough is a Clear Conditions service area. It runs from the lakeshore neighbourhoods along the Bluffs — Birch Cliff, Cliffside, Cliffcrest, Guildwood and Scarborough Village — north through Wexford and Dorset Park to Agincourt, Milliken and Malvern, and east to West Hill and the Rouge.

Most of the district was farmland until the late 1940s. What replaced it went up quickly and to a pattern: single-storey bungalows through the 1950s and 60s, then two-storeys into the 1990s. Solid oak strip flooring was standard for most of that period, which is why so many Scarborough floors can be brought back instead of torn out.

The Bluffs neighbourhoods hold the district's oldest housing, and older houses bring their own problems: floors that have already been refinished once and cannot take much more, bathrooms on their second or third round of grout, and natural stone that was never meant to meet what sits under most kitchen sinks.

Services in Scarborough

Choose by surface and condition

Start with the surface and its present condition rather than its age. A floor that needs cleaning is a different job from one carrying two decades of wax, and both are different from one that has to be sanded back. Every service links to its own page with the full process and current published pricing.
