Flooring Installation in Dundas
From Downtown Dundas and Greensville across Dundas, flooring is one of the fastest ways to update a home. With Victorian and century homes and post-war family homes here, we see everything from original hardwood worth keeping to tired carpet and laminate ready to go.
We install hardwood, engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl plank and tile throughout Dundas, starting with the subfloor: levelling, securing and checking for moisture before the first board goes down, then finishing with transitions, stairs and trim.

Dundas homes
What flooring installation involves in Dundas's houses
Century and heritage homes in Dundas
Many older Dundas homes have original hardwood under carpet or linoleum that can be refinished or repaired. Where floors have sagged or sloped, we level and stiffen the subfloor before laying new flooring, and test old floor tile and adhesive for asbestos before it comes up.
Post-war bungalows and back-splits in Dundas
Post-war Dundas bungalows usually have narrow oak strip flooring on the main floor, often in good enough shape to refinish. Where kitchen and hall floors have been patched over the years, new flooring can run continuously through the main floor once the levels are evened out.
Rules in Dundas
Permits and approvals for flooring installation in Dundas
Building permits
Building permits in Dundas are issued by the City of Hamilton. Electrical work anywhere in Ontario is done by a licensed electrical contractor under an Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) permit. We confirm what your project needs before you sign and book every inspection.
Testing before demolition
Homes built before the 1990s can contain asbestos in plaster, textured ceilings, floor tile, vermiculite insulation and pipe wrap, and homes from before the 1960s often have lead paint. In Dundas's older houses we test suspect materials before demolition and handle them by the regulations if they are found.
The service
Floors That Stay Flat, Tight and Quiet
New flooring changes how a home looks and feels faster than almost any other upgrade. Whether you choose hardwood, engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl plank or tile, the result depends on what is underneath: a subfloor that is flat, solid and dry, and the right underlayment for the product and the room.
We install flooring through whole main floors, upstairs bedrooms, basements, kitchens and bathrooms. That includes removing old carpet, tile or laminate, levelling dips and humps, fixing squeaks, and finishing transitions, baseboards and stair nosings so the floor looks built-in rather than added on.

Questions
Flooring Installation in Dundas: FAQs
How do I get a flooring installation quote in Dundas?+
Call (647) 424-1511, use the form on this page or email info@ontariorenovationcompany.com. Tell us what you want to change and send a few photos, and we will book a visit and send a written quote for your Dundas project.
What kinds of Dundas homes do you work on?+
All of them. Housing in Dundas includes century and heritage homes and post-war bungalows and back-splits, and each comes with its own considerations, from older wiring and foundations to builder warranties, septic systems and shoreline rules. We plan the work around the house you actually have.
What is the best flooring for a basement?+
Luxury vinyl plank is the most common choice because it is water-resistant and comfortable underfoot. Some engineered products work too. Solid hardwood is not recommended below grade. We check for moisture before recommending a product.
Can new flooring go over my old floor?+
Sometimes. Some products can go over sound, flat existing floors, but carpet always comes up, and uneven or damaged floors should be removed. We assess this during the quote.
Why does subfloor preparation matter?+
Most flooring problems, such as gaps, squeaks, cracked tile and planks that separate, come from an uneven or flexing subfloor. Levelling and securing it first is what makes the floor last.
Do you install flooring on stairs?+
Yes. Stairs can be finished in hardwood, engineered treads or vinyl plank with matching nosings, and it is often worth doing at the same time as the adjoining floors.
Do you offer flooring installation across Dundas?+
Yes. We work throughout Dundas, including Downtown Dundas, Greensville, University Gardens and Spencer Creek Valley, and in nearby Ancaster, Hamilton, Waterdown, Stoney Creek and Caledonia.
