What Affects Your Installation Cost
Every project is different. These are the biggest factors that move the price up or down.
Subfloor Condition
Uneven concrete or damaged plywood may need leveling ($1–$3/sqft extra). Our crew assesses during the free measurement.
Old Floor Removal
Ripping up carpet ($1.00/sqft), hardwood ($1.50/sqft), or tile ($3.00/sqft) adds to the total. We handle everything.
Room Complexity
Stairs, closets, angled hallways, and tight corners take more time than open rectangles. Simple rooms = lower cost.
Material & Install Method
Floating click-lock (vinyl/laminate) is fastest. Glue-down costs more. Herringbone is premium. Nail-down requires plywood.
Project Size
Larger projects are more cost-efficient per sqft. A 200 sqft room costs more per sqft than a 1,500 sqft main floor.
Delivery & Access
Garage delivery $140, inside-house delivery $200. Elevator buildings or walk-ups with tight access may cost more.
How to Save on Flooring Installation
Smart ways to get great floors without blowing your budget.
Buy material + installation together
Bundled pricing is always cheaper than sourcing material separately and hiring an installer. We guarantee both material and workmanship.
Check our Clearance section →
In-stock overstocks at 30–60% off. Same quality products, fraction of the price. First come, first served.
Ask about contractor pricing →
If you're a contractor, builder, or buying for multiple rooms/units, we offer volume discounts on material and labour.
Get a free measurement first →
Accurate measurements prevent over-ordering material. We measure every room for free — no obligation.
Consider vinyl for high-ROI areas
Waterproof vinyl at $3.79–$7.25/sqft total is 40–50% cheaper than hardwood, and it's perfect for basements, kitchens, and condos.
Use 0% financing to spread the cost →
Finance your full project at 0% interest. A $6,000 main floor becomes ~$250/month. No reason to wait.
DIY vs. Professional Installation
We get it — DIY can save money. But here's the full picture before you decide.
🔧 DIY Installation
- Save $2.00–$4.25/sqft on labour
- Work on your own schedule
- Good for simple floating floor in small rooms
- YouTube has tutorials for click-lock vinyl
✅ Professional Installation
- Subfloor prep (leveling, moisture testing) included
- Proper expansion gaps — prevents buckling
- Clean transitions between rooms & materials
- Furniture moving included — no heavy lifting
- Warranty on both material AND labour
- One visit: removal + prep + install + cleanup
- WSIB insured — you're never liable
⚠️ Common DIY Mistakes That Cost More to Fix
- ✕Improper subfloor prep → floor squeaks or buckles within months
- ✕Wrong expansion gaps → planks push against walls and warp
- ✕Bad transitions → trip hazards and visible gaps between rooms
- ✕No warranty → mistakes are 100% your cost to fix
