What's included
Everything depends on what is underneath.
The floor you choose is a preference. Whether it stays flat, quiet and gap-free is decided by the subfloor work nobody quotes in detail.
Installation
- Hardwood and engineered
- Vinyl plank and laminate
- Stair treads and risers
- Underlay to spec, including condo requirements
- Tile handled as its own trade — see tile installation
Finishing
- Baseboard and quarter round
- Transitions and thresholds
- Stair nosing
- Doors trimmed to clear
- Grout sealed where required
What it costs
What moves the number.
Typical range
Ask for a figure
We publish real numbers rather than "it depends" — but only once they're ours to publish. Our written ranges are being finalised; call and we'll give you one over the phone in a minute. What moves the number:
- Area, and how many rooms and doorways are involved
- Material tier — this varies more than any other factor
- Whether the old floor comes up, and what is under it
- Subfloor levelling and repair required
- Trim, transitions and how many doors need trimming

Questions
Questions, answered.
Hardwood, engineered or vinyl plank?
Engineered is the sensible default in most GTA homes: it takes our humidity swings better than solid hardwood and can be refinished at least once. Solid hardwood is the premium choice above grade in a stable indoor environment. Vinyl plank is waterproof, hard-wearing and the right answer for basements and anywhere below grade.
Does the old floor have to come up?
Usually yes, and it is worth doing. Floating a new floor over an old one raises every threshold and door, hides whatever is wrong with the subfloor, and gives you two floors' worth of problems under one surface.
How flat does the subfloor need to be?
Flatter than most people expect, and it is the most commonly skipped step. Large-format tile is especially unforgiving — lippage between tiles is almost always a subfloor problem, not a tile-setting problem. Levelling compound before the first tile is cheaper than lifting the floor afterwards.
Can you match an existing floor?
Sometimes, and honestly often not exactly — species, stain and age all shift. Where a match matters, a deliberate transition at a doorway usually looks better than a near-miss.
