What you are feeling underfoot now

When your flooring makes the whole room feel older or less solid than it should

Floors take the most abuse in a home. These are the issues that usually push homeowners to finally replace them.

Creaking, soft spots, or bounce

You hear squeaks or feel movement when you walk because subfloors or underlay were not prepared or fastened properly.

Gaps, lifting edges, and misaligned boards

Boards open up, click together unevenly, or trim and transitions do not sit tight, which makes the room feel unfinished.

Floors that never look clean

Deep scratches, stains, or a finish that shows everything mean the floor looks tired even after you have just mopped.

Installer rush and dust

Past work may have left cuts, off center layouts, and dust in adjacent rooms because protection and layout planning were skipped.

Our fix: Solid subfloor preparation, careful layout, and clean installation so your flooring feels stable, lines up with doors and trims, and is easier to live with day to day.

We start by looking at the subfloor and how the room is used, not just the product sample. Then we plan layout, prep, and transitions so your new floors feel and look right in the space.

What to expect

How we install flooring so you feel the difference, not just see it

We coordinate flooring work with other trades, protect nearby rooms, and focus on subfloor and layout so the finished floor feels stable and looks intentional.

  1. Step 1

    Walkthrough and measurement

    Transitions, trim, and cleanup

    We install transitions and base where agreed, adjust doors if needed, and clean up so the floors are ready for you to move back in.

Flooring and layout choices

Flooring options that change how your rooms feel and wear over time

We help you pair the right flooring type with the right rooms so you are not fighting scratches, moisture, or noise later.

During your consult we talk about pets, kids, how often you host, and what is under the current floor. Then we narrow options to a few that make sense for your level of use and budget.

  • Durable and water resistant

    Luxury vinyl plank and tile

    When this is best

    Best for busy families, basements, and kitchens where spills and pets are common.

    Key details

    • Handles moisture and changes in humidity better than many laminates
    • Comfortable underfoot and easy to clean
    • Many looks that mimic wood or tile without extra maintenance
  • Warmth and long term value

    Engineered wood and hardwood

    When this is best

    Right when you want the feel of real wood and are prepared to care for it.

    Key details

    • Engineered options that work better over certain subfloors
    • Refinishing possibilities for hardwood in the future
    • Best in main living areas and bedrooms with consistent climate control
  • Budget conscious upgrades

    Laminate and hybrid floors

    When this is best

    Helpful when you want a fresh look without a full rebuild.

    Key details

    • Modern laminates with better moisture resistance than older products
    • Suitable for upper floors and lower moisture areas
    • Good impact resistance for everyday use
  • Finish details

    Stairs, transitions, and trim

    When this is best

    Important to make the installation look like part of the home, not an afterthought.

    Key details

    • Coordinated stair nosings and treads
    • Transitions between different flooring types at doors and thresholds
    • Baseboards and caulking that finish the look cleanly

What flooring installation typically costs in Toronto

Your final cost depends on the flooring type, room sizes, subfloor condition, and how many details are involved. These ranges give a starting point.

  • Installation with clean transitions at doorways and stairs

Stair work, extensive leveling, and structural repairs are scoped separately.

  • Phased scheduling to keep parts of the home usable
  • Detailed layout planning for complex spaces

What every itemized quote includes

  • We confirm pricing after seeing the space and understanding your material choice so there are fewer surprises.
  • Protection, basic debris removal, and cleanup are included in our work.
  • If we uncover subfloor or structural issues, we explain options and costs before proceeding.

Quotes are fully itemized with allowances, contingency, and requested add-ons itemized for clarity. No hidden feesever.

What moves pricing

What changes the cost of your flooring installation

We review these factors during your consult so you can see where budget is going and where you can adjust.

Existing flooring and removal

Removing glued down flooring, tile, or multiple layers takes more time than floating floor removal.

Subfloor repairs and leveling

Soft spots, high or low areas, and moisture treatments add to preparation time but are key for long term performance.

Flooring type and pattern

Wider planks, herringbone, or complex patterns require more layout and cutting than straight patterns.

Stairs and detailed trim work

Stair treads, nosings, and detailed trim take more time than straightforward flat floor areas.

Access and phasing needs

Working in occupied homes, around furniture, or with limited elevator or parking access can slow the pace of work.

Before work starts, you will know which factors apply in your home and what they mean for cost and timeline.

Guarantees that keep flooring installation from taking over your whole home

You want new floors, not damage to cabinets, doors, or nearby rooms. Our guarantees are built around that.

Protection for access paths and fixed finishes

We protect stairs, hallways, and fixed elements like cabinets before removing old flooring or bringing new material in.

Planning around your routine

We phase rooms and share a clear schedule so you know which spaces are offline and when you can move furniture back.

Straightforward communication and decisions

You get one point of contact and clear explanations if we find subfloor or structural issues so you can choose how to proceed.

Clean site at the end of each day

We tidy tools and waste and keep walkways clear so your home feels as normal as possible while work is underway.

Warranty on installation

If a flooring issue related to our installation shows up under normal use, we will investigate and address it within the warranty period.

The goal is not just new flooring, but a stable, comfortable surface that feels like it belongs in your home and holds up over time.

Preparation

How to prep your home for flooring installation

A bit of preparation before we arrive keeps the work moving and helps protect your belongings.

  • Move small items, decor, and breakables from rooms that will receive new flooring.
  • If you can, move or unplug small appliances and electronics from affected areas.
  • Share any information you have about past water damage or soft spots in the floor.
  • Confirm parking and access for materials and, if needed, disposal bins.
  • Decide who will approve layout and transition questions on the day of installation.

When flooring installation should wait

Sometimes it is better to address other issues first so your new floors last and look as good as they should.

Active moisture or foundation issues

What usually happens

If moisture is present in slabs or framing, new flooring can cup, buckle, or grow mold from underneath.
Our fix
We recommend resolving moisture problems and, where appropriate, testing or barrier work before installing new floors.

Unresolved structural movement

What usually happens

If floors are moving due to structural problems, new flooring may shift, separate, or crack.
Our fix
We may advise you to address structural concerns first so your flooring investment is protected.

Major layout changes not finalized

What usually happens

Installing flooring before walls or kitchens move can lead to wasted material and cuts where you do not want them.
Our fix
We suggest finalizing layout and cabinet plans before flooring installation so cuts and transitions are where you want them.

Flooring installation questions we hear most often

Simple answers about timing, furniture, and how we work around your life while floors are replaced.

1
Do I need to move all my furniture out
We will discuss furniture arrangements during the consult. In many cases we can move larger pieces within the home in phases, but clearing small items and decor ahead of time helps a lot.
2
How long will I be unable to use the rooms
Most installations are planned so you can walk on floors by the end of the day, but some products and adhesives need more time. We will give you clear guidelines based on your material choice.
3
Can you install over my existing flooring
Sometimes, yes. It depends on the existing material, height, and condition. We will advise whether removal or going over top is better in your case.
4
Do you supply the flooring or install what I buy
We can work with flooring you have selected from a supplier or help guide you to products that fit your needs and budget.
5
Is your flooring work under warranty
Yes. Flooring materials carry their own warranties, and we provide a workmanship warranty on our installation.

I have used Mike not once but twice. It is not very often that you get commitment, quality, hard work, professionalism, and cost effectiveness in one package. He has done two bathrooms, pantry closet, and backyard shed and his perfection is commendable. He is my go to guy for any kind of work.

I wanted to get my living room floor done and called around. I got expensive quotes from other contractors. When I contacted KDM they were responsive and provided good quality work. I had other work that needed to be done around the house and they took care of that too. They are trustful, reliable, and provide good quality work for an unbeatable price.
