Flooring installation in Agassiz

Cabins and vacation rentals in Harrison and older homes in Agassiz take hard use. Vinyl plank holds up best in entries, basements and rentals; engineered hardwood suits main living areas.

Agassiz and Harrison are farm country, older town homes and lakeside cabins. Many homes here are decades old, so jobs often mean replacing tired doors and trim, levelling floors before new ones go down, and updating stairs while keeping the character of the house.

The floor is only as good as the subfloor

Squeaks, bounce, gapping and planks that click apart almost always come from what is underneath. Before any new floor goes down we check the subfloor for flat, screw down anything that moves, and fill or grind high and low spots. On concrete in basements we check moisture and use the right underlayment so the new floor is not sitting on damp slab.

Then we lay out the room so the boards run straight with the longest wall, the cuts at doorways are balanced, and you are not left with a thin sliver along a wall you look at every day.

Picking the right floor for the room

Hardwood and engineered wood suit main living areas and bedrooms. Vinyl plank is the safer choice for basements, bathrooms, laundry rooms and rental suites where water is a risk. Laminate gives a hard wearing surface for less, as long as the space stays dry. If you are not sure, we will walk through the options with you on site. Our flooring guide below covers the trade offs in more detail.
