22FLOORING brings hardwood, vinyl, laminate, tile and stair work to Markham homes, from the older streets around Unionville and Markham Village out to newer pockets such as Cornell, Wismer Commons and Cathedraltown. Our main office is at 28 Roytec Road in Woodbridge, and you can see the floors in person at our Markham showroom: walk-ins are welcome Monday to Friday 9 to 9 and Saturday 9 to 6, and a call to (416) 829-9519 gets you directions. Google reviewers rate us 5.0 out of 5.
Nothing gets priced over the phone. A free quote lets us look at the subfloor, the door clearances and the stairs first, and then you get the number in writing.
Where we work
Work takes us all over the city: Unionville, Markham Village, Berczy Village, Cornell, Greensborough, Wismer Commons, Cathedraltown, Angus Glen, Box Grove, Milliken Mills, the Thornhill end of town, and the condo buildings clustered around Highway 7 and Downtown Markham.
Because the crews set out from Woodbridge, the rest of York Region and Toronto sit on the same footing for us, and longer trips have taken our installers out to Bowmanville, Castleton, Wasaga Beach, Niagara Falls and London.
We install across the rest of the GTA too: Toronto, North York, Mississauga, Brampton, Richmond Hill and Woodbridge and Vaughan.

We take on jobs of every size, and larger ones are where we do our best work: whole-home installs, staircases, herringbone and chevron, big hardwood and tile. For projects that size we will travel across the GTA and the surrounding areas.
What we install
Hardwood flooring. Solid and engineered boards, wide plank and herringbone, including blending work where part of an older Markham main floor already has hardwood down. Hardwood installation
Vinyl plank flooring. Waterproof SPC and luxury vinyl, which suits finished basements, mud rooms and the hard-working kitchens in family subdivisions. Vinyl installation
Laminate flooring. Click-lock boards installed over the underlay each room calls for, whether that is plywood upstairs or concrete below grade. Laminate installation
Tile. Porcelain and ceramic across entries, bathrooms, laundry rooms and feature walls. Tile installation
Staircase remodelling. Fresh treads, risers and railings, finished to sit with whatever floor we have just laid. Staircase remodelling

Those figures cover labour, including taking up your old floor, and the material is a separate line on your quote. What you finally pay depends on the state of the subfloor and the details of the house, all of it set out in writing in your free quote. There is more on budgeting in our flooring renovation cost guide.
Your own material
We will lay flooring you sourced yourself once we have looked at the product and approved it. Weak material fails early and our name stays on the finished floor, so if you are unsure, send over the spec sheet and you will get a straight answer.
We also sell flooring: more than 5,000 products, roughly 2,700 of them vinyl, 1,585 engineered hardwood and 681 laminate, carrying names such as Fuzion, Twelve Oaks, Grandeur, COREtec, Richmond, Beaulieu, Vidar, MSI and Shaw. Start with vinyl, engineered hardwood or laminate.

Two of them are Markham staircases: a straight flight with iron spindles and a curved staircase with turned white spindles. A straight flight like this, with new treads, risers, railing and stain matched to the floor, usually runs about $7,000 and takes three to four days. A curved staircase runs closer to $10,000 and takes about a week. Either way the stairs stay usable overnight between working days. Book the floor and the stairs together and the top step matches the hallway.

Common questions
What does flooring installation cost in Markham?
Laminate and click vinyl are $3.20 per sq ft. Glue-down vinyl runs $5.50 per sq ft with the adhesive counted in, solid hardwood sits at $4.50, and engineered hardwood at $4.90 per sq ft once nails and glue are added. One remodelled flight of stairs usually lands near $7,000. Floor tile is $13.50 per sq ft, with thinset, grout and clips extra.
Can you work in a Downtown Markham or Highway 7 condo?
Yes. Suites sitting above the parking levels are on concrete, so the floor gets floated over an underlay rather than nailed. Ask your property manager for the building rules before ordering anything, because boards commonly set a sound rating for underlay and want the service elevator and loading area booked for delivery day. Pass whatever they give you to us and we will build the floor to suit.
There is hardwood in part of our older Unionville home. Can you match it?
Often, yes. We bring samples to the free quote and compare species, board width and finish against what is already down. The catalogue holds 101 solid hardwood and 1,585 engineered options, so something close is usually available, and where a true match is not realistic we say so and suggest a clean break at a doorway instead.
Our builder-grade floor in Cornell is worn out. What replaces it well?
The newer subdivisions here tend to have plywood subfloors and an open main level, which suits a wide engineered plank or a solid SPC vinyl carried in one direction across the whole floor. Engineered that clicks and floats costs $3.20 per sq ft to install, the same rate as laminate.
Can the stairs be done at the same time as the floors?
Yes, and that is the tidier way round. Remodelling puts new treads, risers and railings over the existing stringers, stained to match the new floor. Allow about $7,000 for each flight.
