Flooring Installation in Scarborough
Hardwood, vinyl plank, laminate, tile and stairs, for post-war bungalows, split-levels with a short flight of stairs at every level, and basements that need a floor that can take moisture.
Our flooring services in Scarborough
Six services, all done by our own crew. Every job starts with a free in-home estimate.
Hardwood Installation
Solid hardwood on the main floor of a bungalow, engineered hardwood where a split-level drops to a slab. We run the boards so each level meets the next cleanly.
Learn moreHardwood Refinishing
Plenty of Scarborough bungalows still have the builder's oak strip floor under their carpet. If it is sound, we sand, stain and seal it instead of covering it.
Learn moreVinyl Plank Installation
Our most common job in Scarborough: waterproof vinyl plank in a finished basement, over the underlay the slab calls for.
Learn moreLaminate Installation
A hard-wearing, budget-friendly floor for bedrooms, family rooms and rental units. Scratch-resistant and quick to install.

Split-levels have two or three short flights, and each one is on show. We rebuild treads, risers and railings to match the new floor.

01
We know bungalows and split-levels
Much of Scarborough was built between the 1950s and the 1970s. Those houses need more preparation than a new build: old layers to lift, dips to level, and transitions where one level meets the next. We check all of it at the estimate, so it is in the quote.

Basements done properly
A basement floor sits on a concrete slab. We check moisture levels at the estimate and use a vapour-barrier underlay where the slab calls for it, then lay a waterproof plank on top.

What affects the price of flooring installation in Scarborough
We don’t quote by phone, because two Scarborough houses 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 tile and old sheet flooring take longer), how level the subfloor is, and stairs: a split-level has more steps and more transitions than a bungalow of the same size. In a basement, the underlay the slab needs is part of the cost too. You get one written quote after the visit, with no hidden fees.
We install across Scarborough, the rest of Toronto and the GTA. See all our service areas.
Flooring installation in Scarborough: questions we get asked
What is the best flooring for a Scarborough basement?
Vinyl plank is what we install in most of them. 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.
Can you install hardwood in a split-level house?
Yes. The levels above grade usually have wood subfloors and take solid or engineered hardwood. The lowest level often sits on concrete, where engineered hardwood or vinyl plank is the right choice. We plan the stairs and transitions between levels so the floors meet cleanly.
Is there hardwood under my carpet?
In a post-war Scarborough bungalow there often is: many were built with oak strip floors that were carpeted over later. We can check a corner at the estimate. If the wood is sound, refinishing it usually makes more sense than covering it. Stairs are different: carpeted stairs usually have pine treads that are not stain-grade, so they normally need new treads or capping rather than refinishing.
Do you install flooring in Scarborough condos?
Yes. Most buildings set a sound rating for the underlay and ask for management approval before work starts. Ask your property manager for the flooring rules; we match a floor and underlay to them, supply the specification sheets, and schedule around the elevator booking.
Do you remove the old flooring?
Yes. Removal and disposal are included in our quotes. Carpet, 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.
