Flooring Installation in Barrie
Installation from $3.20 per sq ft
Licensed · Insured to $2M · WSIB
Barrie is about an hour up Highway 400 from our main office in Woodbridge, and we work there at the same prices as in Toronto. The free in-home measure comes to Barrie too: we bring samples, so you see the floors in your own rooms and light before you choose.
We supply and install hardwood, engineered hardwood, vinyl, laminate and tile, and we rebuild staircases. Installation starts at $3.20 per square foot (installation only), and every quote is free and fixed in writing before anything starts.
What we install in Barrie
Engineered hardwood is $4.90 per square foot glued or nailed, or $3.20 if it clicks and floats. Click vinyl and laminate are $3.20, glue-down vinyl $5.50 with the glue, solid hardwood $4.50 and floor tile $13.50 with the setting materials extra. These are the same rates we charge in Toronto, and the drive is not added on.
This is installation only; the floor itself, disposal, trim and levelling are priced on top: choose from over 5,000 floors we supply, or we install your own. Herringbone and chevron are quoted per job. The full list is on our flooring installation cost page.
Basements
A basement floor sits on a concrete slab, and concrete holds moisture for years. Waterproof vinyl plank and tile are the safest choices there. Engineered hardwood can work too, glued or floated with the right underlay, once a moisture reading says the slab is dry enough. Solid hardwood, which is nailed to plywood, does not go straight onto concrete.
We take up the old carpet or flooring, check the slab, and level the low spots the new floor needs; any levelling is on your written quote before we start. More in our laminate vs vinyl plank guide.
Staircases
Carpet on the stairs is one of the most common things people ask us to change. New hardwood treads and risers go over the existing structure, with new newel posts, spindles and a handrail, stained to match the floor.
A straight flight is usually about $7,000 and three to four days, and you can use the stairs every night. A curved flight runs closer to $10,000. See our staircase renovation guide.
How a job runs
Four steps: we come up to measure with samples, you choose the floor, we agree a date, and we install. The quote is fixed in writing before work starts, and that is what you pay unless hidden damage turns up under the old floor, which we show you and price first. Most homes are finished in one to three days. Our workmanship is covered for up to two years, and residential floors carry 20 to 40 year manufacturer warranties.
If you would rather spread the cost, financing through Financeit includes a 0% plan with no payments for 6 months, on approved credit.
Around Barrie we also cover Innisfil and out to Wasaga Beach. On the way up the 400 we have installed floors in Bradford, Newmarket, Aurora and King City, and we work across the GTA: Toronto, North York, Richmond Hill, Woodbridge and Vaughan, Markham, Mississauga and Brampton.
