Refinishing is some of our favorite work in Ontario, especially around Ontario Ranch and the older streets near Ontario Mills. Very heavy 2010s – 2020s new construction with slab subfloors, plus older 1920s craftsman and Spanish-revival homes downtown with raised foundations and original oak, and there is almost always solid wood worth saving rather than tearing out.
Our San Bernardino shop is about 25 minutes from Ontario - close enough for fast service in Ontario Ranch and the rest of the city, and established enough that we know the building stock and the local permitting quirks. We have been refinishing hardwood and luxury flooring across San Bernardino County for over 20 years, and Ontario - from Ontario Ranch and New Model Colony out to the neighborhoods near Ontario Mills - is one of the cities we work in most.

About Ontario Homes
Ontario Ranch and the New Model Colony are some of the youngest neighborhoods in the Inland Empire - families that bought new construction five to ten years ago are now ready to swap builder carpet for real flooring. We do a lot of LVP and engineered hardwood here.
Housing profile: Very heavy 2010s – 2020s new construction with slab subfloors, plus older 1920s craftsman and Spanish-revival homes downtown with raised foundations and original oak.
Flooring in Ontario: What Local Homes Need
Ontario splits cleanly into two flooring worlds. South of the 60 in Ontario Ranch, the New Model Colony and Creekside are barely a decade old - slab-on-grade homes where families are now ready to pull the original builder carpet. On fresh slab like this, fresh-poured concrete can still be releasing moisture, so we run calcium-chloride or RH probe tests and lay the right barrier before engineered hardwood or LVP goes down; skipping that step is how floors fail two summers later. Downtown and around College Park it is the opposite era: 1920s craftsman and Spanish-revival homes on raised foundations, many with original oak under carpet that is well worth refinishing. The flat, hot Ontario basin near Ontario Mills and the airport bakes interiors in summer, which nudges a lot of homeowners toward fully waterproof LVP for kitchens and entries. We are roughly 25 minutes from our San Bernardino shop, an easy run for in-home estimates and material drop-offs.
Ontario homeowners come to us for refinishing because we look at the actual house before quoting — the subfloor decides most of this job, and it varies street to street here.

Refinishing: what your floor will actually take
The first question is what you have. An original oak floor over a raised foundation and an engineered floor over slab look similar underfoot and need completely different treatment.
We identify which before quoting. Solid wood generally has several sands in it; engineered may have one or none depending on the wear layer.
Where a full sand is not the right answer, a screen and recoat restores the surface for a fraction of the cost — and we will say so rather than sell the bigger job.
Around Ontario that means Ontario Ranch, New Model Colony, Downtown Ontario. Two completely different jobs: engineered or LVP over slab in the new tracts, original oak restoration downtown. We quote what your house actually needs, not a regional average.
What that means on your job
- Solid vs engineered identified before quoting
- Wear layer measured on engineered floors
- Recoat offered where a full sand would be wrong
- Dustless system throughout
