Narrow your options down based on the function of that room. In a room where moisture is an issue, vinyl flooring is a better choice than carpet. In a room that sees a lot of foot traffic, a tough carpet would work well. Soft, thick carpeting is great for rooms where comfort is a priority, while cut-pile carpeting is a good choice for those with pets.

Once you’ve chosen a flooring type that works well with the function of the room, the choice comes down to your personal style preference. We can help you find something you love for your home, business or rental.

Yes. Vinyl flooring is highly versatile. It comes in an enormous range of shapes, sizes, colours and patterns including mock wood patterns. Vinyl is a waterproof material so it’s safe for basements, bathrooms and kitchens.

Vinyl flooring is made from recycled hardwood. While it does have a protective wear layer on top, it doesn’t protect against repeated moisture exposure. It can be spill resistant but consistent or heavy moisture will be a problem for vinyl.

That depends on the type of flooring and the installation method. Carpets will definitely need to be removed but some types of vinyl, hardwood or masonry tiles may not need to be removed.

If the old flooring material is fixed directly to the subfloor and is still in good condition, you may be able to install the new flooring over the top. We’ll inspect your existing flooring conditions to determine what needs to be done for the new flooring to be installed.
