Renovated 1947 Bungalow in Inglewood - Floor Refinishing and new Install Red Oak

We are renovating a bungalow built in 1947. It has original hardwood floors in every room except the kitchen, which was linoleum tile and stairs covered in filthy carpet. The original flooring had never been previously refinished, and several squeaking spots had been "repaired" with screws straight into the floor. It also was a non-standard width that isn't commonly used anymore.

We hired Bull Tough Floors to refinish the existing hardwood, install new, matching hardwood in the kitchen and on the stairs and patch the damaged hardwood. Ky also had to track down flooring that was the same non-standard width.

We were extremely impressed by the quality of the workmanship and attention to detail. The updated floors are beautiful and full of character, and the transitions between original and new are virtually invisible. Ky was friendly and prompt with his communication and completed all work exactly on schedule.

We would enthusiastically recommend Bull Tough Floors to anyone looking to bring their existing hardwood floors back to life.

Thanks you two ... it was a pleasure working on your project. It was good coming back to do the extra work because I don't usually get to see my floors when a house is almost complete, my work usually gets covered up. I look forward to working with you again in the future if the situation arises.

Refinishing and adding new hardwood Floor

We had Bull Tough Flooring come in and refinish our floor, as well added new hardwood in replace of he carpet. Ky and his crew was beyond amazing. They were very punctual and had everything done in a timely manner. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to bring back life to their hardwood. I'm absolutely in love with our new floor and the color is beyond what we expected. I also want to acknowledged the exceptional customer service Ky brings to his job. He has gone above and beyond to make sure his clients are happy with his work.

Again thank you so much Ky for all your hard work and I will be passing your name around to everyone.

I loved doing this job. The feather patch was labor intensive and sanding in the kitchen was tricky but the stain colour and final product make all the hard work worth it.

Hardwood Floor Refinshing

I left a message at Bull Tough Flooring that was returned that evening. Then Ky told me he was on his honeymoon and was phoning from Thailand! Very impressive that he would take a moment just to touch base from halfway around the world.

We talked on the phone for ten minutes or so and Ky explained how he expected the job to go and when he returned, he showed up on the day we'd agreed on, and did the floors just as he said. There was one blemish that he missed which was promptly repaired.

A big part of the project was getting the stairs to match the rest of the floor. If you are thinking of doing this, be aware that there are options. Do you want just the tread and nosing finished? Do you want to add the riser or the stringer or the handrail? I wanted it all, but when Ky advised me on how much it would cost, I had to rethink it. As it turned out, I did about sixteen hours of sanding myself, which allowed Ky to do it as cheaply as he could. Stuff you need to think about, and which Ky will be very willing to help you with.

I chose a natural finish. This is going to sound a little stupid, but I must admit that the finish surprised me. I had seen so many red oak floors that I thought oak was naturally golden red, so I had thought that golden red was what I was getting. In fact, the natural finish is much lighter. But the funny thing is the longer I am with this floor, the more I appreciate its lightness, not just in colour but also in "weight". It feels light and airy, and I love it!

Thanks Brian, I'm glad you like the natural look of your floor. You did a great job sanding the stairs yourself. If I'm ever looking for an extra sander I'll be giving you a call :)

Flooring Repair

Unfortunately, our house cleaners created a rather large dent in our floor. Within a couple hours we had Ky from Bull Tough Flooring booked to come down for the repair. Luckily, we had spare boards. He managed to cut out the board and fit in a replacement in under an hour! Great work! Now the new board looks better than the other boards so we might have to get the entire floor done - and when we do, we'll definitely use Ky!

I'm happy you're happy Steven, I'm almost glad I got your wife's approval ... she didn't believe I could replace one board without ripping out half the floor but as I told her "this ain't my first rodeo" :)

And for sure, I'd love to replace the whole floor :D .. you have my number. All the best with your new path in life !

Feathered in Red Oak floors

House built in 1961-I did a complete renovation on the main floor of my house and was told that the hardwood underneath was in mint condition so I decided to remove the carpet and go with the hardwood. I started out just wanting the dining/kitchen but it ended up being the staircase, and 2 hall ways as well. I thought I new what I wanted with the colour but after meeting with Ky and with his attention to detail and extensive knowledge of staining and the way the different types of woods react, I ended up going with a different colour. He did a fantastic job feathering in the old with the new and it is absolutely beautiful! I get a lot of comments on how great it looks!

Thanks Robyn. I'm glad you like the color, I love mixing up unique stains for each customer. There's nothing quite like having a floor done to your exact specifications. Just remember ... proper maintenance (especially with a child) is what is going to keep that floor looking beautiful for years to come. Happy Xmas :

Hardwood flooring refinishing

I started on a project for a friend of mine that got a little out of hand.
I thought i could refinish his hardwood floor, but i messed it up.
I called Ky at Bull tough flooring , and he managed to save the project, and keep it within my budget.
I was so happy with the workmanship and that he managed to squeeze my job in . As i was on a tight deadline.
I would recommend Bull tough flooring ltd to anyone that wants a professional job, at the right price.

Adam, I hate to say it, but you win the prize for worst attempt at refinishing a floor :) Seriously though, maple is really hard to stain, it only needed the stain sanding off to fix it so there is no actual damage to the floor.

hardwood refinishing

After doing some online research and calling around, I ended up going with Bull Tough to refinish the main floor and stairwell of my house. It is an older house that had worn out pre-finished Maple hardwood, and all of the first estimates I received were pricey and convoluted. Ky was very easy to deal with from the first phone call, and transparent with the price and timeline of the project. The front door was by far the worst area, and not only does it look fantastic now, but Ky had no concerns at all during the initial walk through. He gave me confidence in his workmanship from the beginning, and definitely delivered.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bull Tough to anyone.

Thanks Elliot. I'm not gonna lie ... that floor was so difficult to sand ... the beveled edge just didn't want to go down. I under estimated how tough the finish was ... I should have charged you extra for that but the coffee and donuts you bought me even things out :)

Hardwood Floor Refinishing & Staining

We found Bull Tough through google. Can't speak highly enough about Ky! The hardwood in our 1960's home was on its last legs. Other estimators came in and wouldn't touch it. "Too thin" they would say, "You will need to put in new hardwood". The quoting process with Ky was professional, straight forward and very fair! Not only did he take on a job no one else would touch, but he did an absolutely amazing job! Good bye gross orangey 1960's floor, hello sleek custom charcoal grey floor. Hassle free and money well spent! Thanks again Ky!

I'm glad you like the floor ... what's left of it ... ha ha.

I love a challenge and your floor was certainly that. I've shown a few customers these pictures and they like the color so I'll be doing a few more like yours ... but don't worry .. you can still claim that your floor has a unique custom stain mix on it :)

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.
