 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had our floors and stairs done by EZ CON. Ross and his team (literally every person) was great! Their workmanship was impeccable. More so, Ross’ behavior, care, and sincerity to make sure our every small request was catered to is second to none. Ross is an example when it comes to customer service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ross and his team did a great job with placing new engineered hardwood and staining my stairs. They started on the day we had scheduled over a month in advance and were done ahead of schedule.

Communication was easy, the price was fair and the final product is fantastic. I definitely would recommend working with these guys

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands down, this was the easiest first-time experience we've had with getting floors installed in a condo. From selecting the right flooring (we own a dog), to removing and disposing of carpets, raising the flooring in two rooms, placing flooring over the entirety of our tiled condo, and installing all-new baseboards—this wasn't an easy job. However, we couldn't be happier with the results.

Here's how our process played out for our unfurnished condo, measuring under 1000 square feet:

1) We provided the square footage and initiated contact through the website to obtain a general quote, sharing our flooring preferences.
2) We booked an appointment and visited the EZ Con showroom near the airport to handpick our flooring.
3) EZ Con conducted an in-home visit for precise measurements and a more detailed quote. They brought generously-sized flooring samples, allowing us to see how they complemented different room lighting.
4) Once we confirmed the work with a deposit, things were set in motion.
5) Installation was scheduled, and over a two-day process, our floors were skillfully laid. We completed the journey by making the final payment.

Ross and his team executed the project flawlessly. Their service was top-notch, and they maintained a high level of tidiness, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills, resulting in work of exceptional quality. Not to mention, they're all really nice people.

We wholeheartedly endorse EZ Con and remain deeply appreciative of the recommendation that led us to them.

Wood Flooring Installation and Grades

Installation Methods

When it comes to installing engineered hardwood floors, there are several methods to choose from. The right flooring installation method depends on the width of the planks, the condition of the subfloor and the look you want.

Nailed Down: This is the go-to method for planks that are 5” wide or less. Nails are driven through the wood into the subfloor.
Nail and Glue Assist: For planks wider than 5”, we add a thin layer of glue along with nails. This works best on subfloors that are perfectly level.
Full Glue Down: Planks are fully glued to the subfloor. It’s perfect if the subfloor is uneven or if you’re installing herringbone and chevron floors.
Floating Floor: This is a flexible option where planks just click together. Alternatively, with tongue and groove planks, you glue the planks to each other, not to the subfloor.

Wood Grades

When selecting wood for your floors, you’ll notice different grades based on the appearance and natural characteristics of the wood. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you choose:

AB Grade (Select and Better): Smooth, with minimal knots or blemishes, and has a clean, uniform colour.
ABC Grade (Select): A bit more character here. You may see small knots, sapwood or slight colour differences, but it still maintains a clean and balanced appearance.
ABCD Grade (Character): This grade has a more natural look, with noticeable knots, colour variations, and filled cracks. Great if you like the idea of a wood floor that feels organic and unique.
CD or EF Grade (Rustic): For a truly rustic look, this grade has big knots, open defects, and lots of colour variation, and brings a vintage, worn-in feel.

What We Need Before We Start

We like to keep things simple when it comes to installing your floors, but there are a few things we’ll need from you:

Final choice of flooring material
Access to the space (clear of furniture if possible)
Confirmation on subfloor condition (we’ll check this too)
Any special requests (transitions, trims, patterns, etc.)
Scheduling that works for you

FAQs

Do floors need to be acclimatized before installing?

Wood floors should always be acclimated before installation, particularly when there’s a noticeable difference in temperature and moisture between the wood and the room. This process helps the wood adjust to its new environment, preventing issues like warping or buckling after installation. If you skip this step, the wood can expand or contract once it’s laid down, which can disturb the overall look and durability of the floor.

What type of subfloor do you need for hardwood, vinyl, or laminate?

The subfloor plays a huge role in how long your floors last. For hardwood, you’ll need plywood or OSB that’s dry, flat, and nailed down tight. Vinyl and laminate are more forgiving, and can often go over concrete, tile, or older flooring, but the surface still has to be level within 3/16” over 10 feet. If it’s not, we’ll patch or grind as needed before we start.

Can you install new flooring around existing cabinets or islands?

Yes, but it depends on the floor type. For floating floors like laminate or vinyl plank, we install around cabinets, not under them, to allow for movement. For hardwood, we usually recommend installing before cabinets go in, especially if it’s nail-down. If your cabinets are already installed, we can undercut the base or work tight to the edge and add clean transitions or trims. We’ll make it look great either way.

How do you install around areas like stairs, vents, or angled walls?

We custom-cut every piece around obstacles like vents, posts, and angled corners. For stairs, we typically install flooring with stair nosings or custom treads to match the planks. This part of the job takes time and precision, it’s not something we rush. If you have a lot of transitions or tricky spots, we’ll go over the plan with you in detail before install day.

Will installing new floors raise the height of my baseboards or doors?

Yes, it can. Most floors with underlay or thicker planks will raise the height slightly, usually by ¼” to ¾”. We’ll check door clearance during the initial walkthrough, and if needed, we can trim the bottoms so doors open and close properly. For baseboards, we can either remove and reinstall them or add matching quarter-round or shoe moulding to cover the gap cleanly.
