Toronto Condos
Condo flooring runs on your building’s rules. We plan for them.
A condo flooring project involves more than choosing a floor. Boards, acoustic specs and elevator schedules shape the work — and skipping any of them stalls your project.
We help you organize the flooring-related information your property management asks for — material specs, underlayment acoustic documentation and project details. Approval decisions always rest with your building.
Discuss Your Condo Project- Condo board approval before work begins
- Acoustic underlayment meeting your building’s specification
- IIC/STC documentation for property management
- Elevator bookings for materials and debris
- Work confined to building-approved hours
- Material delivery and disposal rules
- Proof of contractor insurance
- Transition heights and door clearance

Questions
Straight answers about hardwood
The questions we hear most from Toronto homeowners — answered honestly.
How long does hardwood flooring installation take?
Most single-floor installations take two to five working days, depending on square footage, subfloor condition and preparation work. Refinishing projects typically run three to five days including finish cure time. Your written estimate includes a realistic schedule for your specific project.
Can existing hardwood floors be refinished?
Usually, yes. Solid hardwood can typically be sanded and refinished several times over its life. Floors that have been sanded many times before, or engineered floors with a thin wear layer, may not have enough wood left — we assess honestly and tell you before any work starts.
How much dust does refinishing create?
Sanding creates dust — there is no honest way around that. We take practical steps to reduce and contain it: sealing off work areas, covering vents and cleaning thoroughly as we go. We will walk you through exactly what to expect in your home before the project begins.
Do I need to leave my home during refinishing?
Many clients choose to stay elsewhere during the finishing days, mainly because freshly coated floors cannot be walked on and some finishes have a noticeable odour while curing. Waterborne finishes reduce both issues. We plan the schedule with you so you know which days matter.
Can you match my existing hardwood?
In most cases we can get very close. We match species, board width and grain, then custom-mix and sample stains on the actual wood. Heavily sun-faded or very old floors are the hardest to match perfectly, and we are upfront about what is achievable.
What is the difference between solid and engineered hardwood?
Solid hardwood is one piece of wood through its full thickness and suits rooms above grade. Engineered hardwood is a real-wood wear layer bonded to a stable core, which makes it the better choice over concrete, in basements and in condos with acoustic requirements. Both are genuine wood floors.
