Removing the old floor
Carpet, old laminate and tile all come up differently. We remove the old surface, pull staples and nails, and clear the debris. That reveals the subfloor so we can see what it needs.

A flat, solid base
High spots and dips telegraph through thin flooring like vinyl. We grind down ridges, and levelling compound fills the low areas. Any loose or squeaky subfloor panels get screws before your new floor goes on.
Choosing the right material
Hardwood suits your bedrooms and living rooms but dislikes moisture. Water doesn’t swell vinyl plank, so it suits your kitchen or basement. For your entry or bathroom, tile is the toughest choice.
Doorways, stairs and trim
Your new floor may sit at a different height from the old one. Transition strips smooth the step between rooms, and doors may need trimming to swing freely. Baseboards and quarter round finish the edges cleanly.
Basements and moisture
Concrete basement floors can carry moisture up from below. Moisture readings from the slab guide the underlay or vapour barrier we choose. A moisture-tolerant floor such as vinyl is usually the safer pick for your basement.
Photos that help us quote
A photo of each room and its doorways shows the layout and transitions. Close-ups of damaged boards or cracked tiles hint at what lies underneath. Rough room measurements let us price materials before visiting.

Flooring questions from Markham homeowners
Can new flooring go over my old floor?
Sometimes, if the old floor is flat, solid and well attached. Adding height can affect doors, stairs and transitions, though. We look at those details before recommending either option.
Which flooring works best in a basement?
Vinyl plank and tile handle basement moisture far better than hardwood. Engineered wood can work over a proper underlay in a dry basement. We take moisture readings before recommending a product.
Can you match the floor in the next room?
Sometimes, if the same product is still made. Older floors fade and wear, so an exact match is rare. We’ll show you options that blend in or make a clean break at the doorway.
Will my baseboards need replacing?
Sound baseboards can often come off and go back on. Damaged or dated trim may be worth replacing while the floor is open. We’ll discuss both before you decide.
Do I need to move my furniture?
Moving furniture can be part of your quote. You may prefer to pack fragile items and electronics yourself. Gas or water appliances may need a specialist to disconnect them safely.
Why is my laminate floor bouncing?
A floating floor can bounce if the subfloor isn’t flat or the underlay is too thick. Lifting and re-laying the floor over a levelled base usually fixes it. We look for the cause before quoting the repair.
