Flooring Installation, Refinishing and Custom Stain

Ky was fantastic to work with from the very beginning. He responded to my homestars inquiry right away, provided a competitive quote and even paid us a site visit to make sure he fully understood the scope (we installed raw maple in previously carpeted areas, refinished existing maple, and then custom stained everything to match). He made sure we were comfortable with the process, timeline and budget throughout the entire project which helped us 'newbie' homeowners out a lot - receiving progress update pictures via text was the highlight of each day! Ky respected our home, completed the project on time and on budget, left the place clean and did a PHENOMENAL job with our floors. His excitement and passion for custom stains was so contagious! We have the most beautiful floors I've ever seen. Thanks Ky for everything! We love our new floors :). I highly recommend Ky for anyone's future project!

Thanks Kayla, it was a pleasure. Yes, I love mixing up custom stains ! It's always worth the effort when I get reviews like this. I'm glad we were able fix up the scratches that were accidentally caused immediately after we finished the floor. All the best with your new home :)

Refinish main floor hardwood

We hired Ky based on his personality, honesty, and homestar reviews. His quote was comparable to others, but we liked that he quotes and does the work as well. I'm fairly handy, so I offered to remove the baseboards for Ky to help speed up the job. What started out to be a quick 5 day refinish job, turned into a 2 week hardwood repair. It turns out that the builder nailed the bathroom trim through the water line, so when I removed the trim, it developed a leak behind the drywall and warped all the wood in the bathroom and front entrance. Ky found the issue right away, turned off the water and let us know. He gave a few options to fix, and in the end we had him tear out the damaged boards and replace with new maple. Ky helped us pick a great looking stain that brings out multiple colors in our hardwood and his satin finish looks clean all the time. He works late hours to get the job done to balance his family life with his new baby. He shows up on time, cleans up, and does great work. We love our new floor and wouldn't hesitate to use Bull Tough for repairs or complete jobs.

Floor refinishing

Ky and his team are flooring professionals. They were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Top notch work with attention to detail. They didn’t call the job done until everything was complete and done to our satisfaction. I would highly recommend this company to my friends. We LOVE our new floors!

Stair case sand and refinish

Found Bull Tough Flooring through a Google search and read the reviews on here. Ky keeps everything simple. He gave us an exact price over the phone, booked us in right there and then had the work completed on time and within budget as promised. We had him come in and refinish our old fir stair case and upstairs hallway. The pictures aren't very clear but the floor and stairs look amazing.

I'm glad they turned out this well. Fir is a soft wood so it's sometimes difficult to salvage but not in your case. I'll see you in April when I come back to finish the rest of the upstairs.

Pre-finished maple refinishing

We just had our pre-finished maple floors refinished by Bull Tough Flooring and are very happy. We were originally looking to get a new floor but Ky educated us and informed us that pre-finished floors can be sanded although the costs involved were higher than expected. He was professional from the first phone call to saying goodbye and shaking my hand. Thanks Ky.

Hardwood Repair and Refinishing

We purchased a home, where the hardwood floors were water damaged throughout the main floor. Ky was awesome to work with. We explained our situation over the phone. He came right over to inspect the damage. The quote he gave was very reasonable for the amount of work that was required to replace, repair, sand, and refinish. The work was completed within a week and we were quite surprised how well it turned out. Thank you Ky and Rachel for all your hardwork and the advice to maintain our floors. All the Best to you starting a family. Stay safe on those Bulls.

refinished floors in century home

The fir floors in our century home were already past their last legs, but Ky was willing to get one last refinish out of them and help us patch up the worst bits. He was very straightforward to work with, answered questions and concerns promptly and did a very good job, even finishing a day ahead of schedule. We appreciated his confidence in getting the job done well and his policy of taking full payment upon completion of the job.

Fong, that was by far the most worn floor I've ever sanded ... my favorite. There is nothing more rewarding than rescuing a floor that bad. That really was the last time it can ever be sanded though :) All the best.

Refinish Engineered Oak Flooring

I found Ky's advertisement in kijiji for hardwood refinishing and e-mailed and he responded back right away which impressed me as many of the other kijiji advertisers didn't even respond back. Also a lot will not touch engineered flooring but Ky was willing to refinish ours at a decent price.

His team started on time and finished a day early which is always a bonus. The quality of their workmanship was great and we weren't disappointed. I had a couple of concerns after the floors were completed and again he responded right away and addressed them. I would recommend his team if you are thinking of doing any refinishing. Ky is very easy to talk to and addresses any questions you may have right away.

Thanks Janice. Yes, it's very common for companies that advertise themselves as "floor refinishers" to turn down any jobs that are technically difficult. For us though ... jobs like this are a walk in the park because we're specialists and because this is what we do all day everyday. As always ... any problems or questions ... you have my number.

More about Bull Tough Flooring Ltd

Hi, my name is Ky and here is a quick bio of Bull Tough Flooring Ltd.

I started this company by sanding floors at the weekend and evenings. When the time was right I decided to go solo and start my own company. I started at the bottom with no experience apart from what I'd learned on myself on jobsites. That was the beginning and after years of training here we are ... a small company of 2 people totally dedicated to being the best small company in our field.

Our field specifically being ... the installation and finishing of site-finished floors, also known as "real" or "solid" hardwood. This includes stairs and the refinishing of any type of hardwood floor.

We've always kept things simple. Customers choose us because we're so easy to work with. The first phone call is all you need to make.

Feel free to contact us with your questions.
