# Hardwood floor installation & refinishing in St. Catharines

St. Catharines carries a substantial pre-war core around Yates Street, Glenridge and the old downtown, a large band of 1950s–1970s housing north toward the lake, and newer subdivision growth at the edges. Refinishing original floors and replacing failed post-war installations are both common.

## Areas covered

Old Glenridge, Yates Street, Port Dalhousie, Western Hill, Facer, Lakeport.

## Housing stock and what it means for the floor

Heritage-area houses frequently retain original hardwood that has been sanded before, sometimes more than once, so the first measurement is remaining thickness rather than the finish system. The post-war stock north of the canal is plywood over joists with narrow strip oak, much of it under carpet since installation and in better condition than the room suggests.

## The practical constraint here

Proximity to Lake Ontario and the canal keeps summer relative humidity higher than inland Niagara, and a floor acclimated to a drier warehouse and installed in July will give that back over the first winter. The remedy is measurement on site, not a longer wait.
