Rosedale homes

Rosedale floors in Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian houses

Rosedale’s houses were built largely in the early 1900s in Edwardian, Georgian Revival and Tudor styles, with Victorian houses among them, and many are more than a century old. South Rosedale and North Rosedale are both City of Toronto Heritage Conservation Districts. Heritage rules focus on exteriors, but owners here usually want the interior to match: wood floors refinished rather than covered, and replacement boards that blend with what is already there.

What Rosedale homeowners ask us for

Refinishing original hardwood

Sanding, board repairs and a new finish on existing wood floors, from $4.50 to $8 per sq ft.

Board and patch repairs

Damaged or burnt boards woven out and replaced with matching species and width.

Staircases and landings

Tread and riser refinishing from $100 to $200 per step, done to match the floors.

How we work in older Rosedale homes

Level before we lay

Century joists settle. We check for dips and humps and correct them before new flooring goes in.

Test old tile before removal

Vinyl and asphalt floor tile in older homes can contain asbestos, so we recommend a lab test first, as Ontario's asbestos guidance describes.

Protect the house

Dust containment, floor protection on stairs and daily clean-up in lived-in homes.

New wood in old rooms

Laying new solid hardwood in Rosedale kitchens and additions

Where a Rosedale kitchen, addition or finished attic has lost its original floor, we lay new solid hardwood that reads as part of the house. From Yonge Street east to the Don Valley, between the CPR tracks and Rosedale Valley Road, board widths and species vary from house to house, so we measure what is already in the adjoining rooms first. New tongue-and-groove boards are nailed down to match, and where the heights allow they run through the doorway without a threshold. The subfloor is checked and levelled before any wood goes in. Solid hardwood runs $9 to $18 per sq ft installed, before 13% HST.

Getting a Rosedale house ready for floor refinishing

Rosedale's century-old houses are often lived in during the work, so the order of rooms matters.

Pick the order of floors

In a large Rosedale house we can refinish one storey at a time. Tell us which rooms you need while each stage runs.

Clear rugs and fragile pieces

Rugs, lamps and fragile items come out of each room. Fine dust can travel even with containment in place.

Test stain on your own boards

Century-old oak takes stain differently from new wood, so we try colours on your floor before the full sand.

Set one route for the crew

Pick one door and one path through the house, so finished rooms stay closed while the finish cures.

Client feedback for Rosedale homeowners

Our old floors were uneven and badly worn, but the crew completely transformed them. We're very impressed with the quality and would gladly recommend them.

Excellent flooring installation from start to finish. The team was professional, punctual, and left our Toronto home spotless. Our new hardwood floors look incredible.

Rosedale heritage districts and century hardwood: common questions

Does a Rosedale heritage district limit what flooring I can install?

Heritage Conservation District rules focus on the outside of buildings. Interior flooring changes generally fall outside them, but check with the City of Toronto if your property has an individual designation.

Can century-old hardwood in Rosedale still be refinished?

Usually, yes. We check how much wood remains above the tongue. Where boards have been sanded many times, we repair or replace sections rather than sand through.

Do you work in Rosedale homes while the family lives there?

Yes. We work room by room, seal off the work area and keep one route through the house clear.
