01
Floor and stairs as one job
In a two-storey house the staircase sits between the two floors you are replacing. We measure it at the same visit, quote it in the same number and build it with the same crew, so the stairs match the floor.

What affects the price of flooring installation in Ajax
We don’t quote by phone, because two Ajax homes with the same square footage can need very different amounts of work. The flooring you choose moves the number most. After that it comes down to what has to come out (carpet lifts fast, glued-down floors and tile take longer), how level the subfloor is once it is exposed, and the staircase, which is priced by the step and the railing and is often a large part of a two-storey job. In a basement, the underlay the slab needs is part of the cost. Travel is not a separate line. You get one written quote after the visit, with no hidden fees.
We install across Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa and the rest of Durham and the GTA. See all our service areas.
Flooring installation in Ajax: questions we get asked
Can you replace the carpet on our stairs with hardwood?
Yes. Carpeted stairs usually have pine treads that are not stain-grade, so they normally need new treads or capping rather than refinishing. We measure every tread, riser and handrail at the visit and quote the staircase together with the floor.
Do you charge extra to come to Ajax?
No. Your quote covers the job at your address, with no separate travel line. Ajax is part of our regular service area, and we group Durham jobs together.
Should we do the main floor and the upstairs at the same time?
If the budget allows, yes: the furniture moves once, the staircase is done once, and the floor runs in one colour and one batch through the house. If you would rather split it, we plan the first stage so the second one joins it cleanly.
What flooring do you recommend for an Ajax basement?
Vinyl plank in most cases. It is waterproof, so damp from the slab does not damage it. We check moisture levels at the estimate and use a vapour-barrier underlay where the slab calls for it.
Do you remove the old carpet and flooring?
Yes. Removal and disposal are included in our quotes. Carpet, underpad, hardwood, laminate, vinyl and most tile all come out, and we haul the waste away.
How long does a flooring installation take?
Single rooms are often done in a day, and a typical main floor takes two to three days including removal. Stairs add time, because each step is cut and fitted individually. You get a clear timeline with your quote.
