Hardwood Flooring Installation in Thornhill

Proper hardwood installation is more than just laying down planks; it's a craft that demands precision. In your Thornhill home, the difference between a good floor and a great one lies in the small details—the ones most people never see. We believe the foundation of a lasting floor is meticulous preparation and an obsession with getting every single step right. From ensuring the subfloor is perfectly level to planning the layout for the best visual flow, we treat your project with the careful attention it deserves. Your home is a significant investment, and we honour that by providing a floor built to last.

Our Deliberate Installation Process

A beautiful hardwood floor is the result of a process, not a shortcut. We begin every project by confirming the site conditions. This involves a thorough moisture test of the subfloor and allowing the new hardwood to properly acclimate inside your home for several days. This critical, often-rushed step prevents future warping and gapping by letting the wood adjust to your home's unique humidity and temperature.

Next, we focus entirely on the subfloor. A floor is only as flat as the surface beneath it. We grind high spots, fill low spots with levelling compound, and ensure the entire surface is clean, solid, and ready for installation. Any squeaks are addressed with screws, not nails, to ensure a silent, stable base for your new flooring.

Executing the Installation with Care

Once the prep work meets our standards, we begin the layout. We carefully plan the starting lines to ensure the planks run perfectly straight and look balanced throughout the room. Each board is selected and placed to create a natural, appealing pattern, avoiding clustered joints. Every cut is precise, ensuring a tight fit against walls, door jambs, and around obstacles like fireplace hearths. We don't believe in using filler to hide wide gaps; we believe in making the right cut the first time.

The final touches are just as important. We reinstall baseboards and trim with care, ensuring clean lines and professional results. Our job isn't finished until we've thoroughly cleaned the area, removed all our equipment, and walked you through the final result to ensure you are completely satisfied.
