Hardwood Floor Installation
Hardwood Flooring Installers in Toronto
Choosing and buying a hardwood floor is the easiest part. Unless you are a DIY enthusiast with flooring experience, installing a hardwood floor can be an exercise in frustration and difficulty, not to mention time. Our floor installation experts can make the job so easy for you that all you have to do is relax, let them do the hard work and heavy lifting, and then enjoy your floor.
Hardwood Floor Installation From Start To Finish
Several steps go into the installation of a hardwood floor, and our flooring installation experts will take care of all of them for you.
Inspection
The first step is to take a look at the space and ensure that we know what is needed in order to ensure that the new floor can be installed.
Removal of current floor
In order to install a hardwood floor, we first have to remove the floor that’s already there. This could involve taking up carpet, removing old hardwood, or pulling up floor tiles.
Sub-floor preparation
This important step ensures that your hardwood floor is going to be installed on a surface that is level and solid. It is done either by sanding and leveling the concrete sub-floor or by laying sheets of plywood.
Acoustic underlay installation
Acoustic underlay reduces noises and vibrations that result from walking, thereby creating a quieter home environment, especially if the hardwood is on an upper floor.
Hardwood floor installation
With the preparation done, we are now ready to install your hardwood floor. The method on installation varies depending on the floor, with the most common methods being glue, floating click, and nailing/stapling.
Finishing touches
Some additional services that we offer include the installation of baseboards, quarter round, shoe molding and reducers.
Getting Started
If you haven’t already selected your floor, give us a call or visit our showroom to talk to our experts about what you need. Once your floor has been chosen, our team will visit your home to do an assessment of the space, and we will then put together a detailed project plan and quote. Once you accept the quote, we will schedule a day to come and do the job.
Why Choose Us?
Several factors set us apart from others when it comes to the installation of hardwood flooring.
We are professionals
Hardwood Flooring is not the only thing we are good at. We take pride in our transparent processes that ensure that clients have full access to the project plan and timelines, the pricing, and reports of any unforeseen problems that arise. You will not be surprised by unexpected hidden costs, because you will know everything you need to know before we even start.
We make plans and stick to them
Before we start any project, we draw up a detailed plan that includes the costs of labour and material, and adds some contingency to allow for issues that may come up during the project. With everything itemized, you can be assured that there are no hidden charges.
We show up on time
Unlike many other companies that repeatedly push back the start dates on their projects, we show up on the days we promise. Contingency planning is part of what we do, so even if the project before yours takes longer than expected, this is already built into our plan.
Plan Your Hardwood Floor Installation
Before choosing a board, review the rooms, existing floor and finished floor heights. Compare engineered hardwood flooring with the other suitable options, then confirm the installation method for the selected product and subfloor.
Subfloor, transitions and condo requirements
A flooring assessment should identify movement, moisture concerns, uneven areas and the preparation needed before installation. Door clearances, transitions and the connection to stairs also belong in the plan. For a condo, obtain the building’s flooring, acoustic, elevator-booking and working-hour requirements before ordering material.
See our plank flooring photo collection for room connections and layout details. The photographs are a visual reference; the right construction and installation method depend on your property.
What should your installation estimate include?
Ask for the material and labour to be itemised alongside existing-floor removal, disposal, subfloor preparation, trims, transitions and any stair work. Our flooring removal and replacement cost guide explains the items to compare when reviewing quotes.
