Flooring installation in Pitt Meadows

Moisture is the main concern in Pitt Meadows, so vinyl plank is common in entries and lower floors, with engineered hardwood in dry living areas.

Pitt Meadows is low lying, wet country between the Pitt and Fraser rivers, with townhouses and condos in the centre and South Bonson and farm properties to the north. Moisture is the theme: entries and basements need flooring that handles wet boots, and exterior doors need proper flashing and sealing.

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.
