Floors levelled, laid and finished to last.
Engineered and solid hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate and tile. Subfloor levelling and moisture checks come before installation, not after the first squeak.
A floor is only as flat as the subfloor underneath it. Most call-backs we get asked to fix trace back to that step being skipped, so it is the step we never skip.
Five materials, chosen for the room they go in.
Engineered Hardwood
Real wood veneer over a stable core, so it moves less with the seasons than solid hardwood.
Solid Hardwood
Sanded and refinished for generations. The right call for main floors that will see decades of use.
Luxury Vinyl Plank
Fully waterproof and quiet underfoot with the right underlay. Our pick for kitchens, basements and rentals.
Laminate
A high-resolution wood image over a dense core. The most floor for the budget, installed floating.
Tile
Porcelain and ceramic for bathrooms, entries and mudrooms, set with proper waterproofing underneath.
Four stages, in an order that does not change.
Assess the subfloor
Moisture readings, flatness checks and a look at what is already down. This is what most quotes skip.
Level and prep
Self-levelling compound where the subfloor calls for it, old adhesive and staples cleared, and a moisture barrier set down where needed.
Install
Planks racked for a natural pattern before a single one is fixed down, expansion gaps set at every wall.
Finish the transitions
Thresholds, stair nosing and baseboards fitted last, so the floor reads as finished from every doorway.
Three habits that keep a new floor looking new.
Control the humidity
Keep indoor humidity between 35 and 55 percent. Wood floors gap in winter and swell in summer more than most people expect.
Felt pads, always
Every chair and table leg. A dragged dining chair does more damage in a year than foot traffic does in a decade.
Skip the steam mop
Steam and standing water are the two fastest ways to void a finish warranty. A damp microfibre cloth is enough.
They levelled a subfloor two other quotes had ignored. Three years on there is still not a single squeak in that room.
