How much does flooring installation cost in Toronto?

With Zigma Group, flooring installation starts from $9 per sq ft. Prices are in Canadian dollars before HST, as of October 2026, and are confirmed after a site visit. The main factors are material: engineered wood, solid hardwood, tile or stone; subfloor levelling and repair; and stairs, transitions and trim.

Is engineered hardwood real wood?

Yes. It has a real hardwood top layer bonded to a stable core, which makes it less prone to gapping and suitable over concrete or heated floors.

Can wood flooring go in a basement?

Engineered wood can, on a suitable subfloor system with moisture control. Solid hardwood is not recommended below grade.

Do you do flooring installation projects in Toronto?

Yes. We work throughout Toronto, including Leaside, The Annex, High Park, Riverdale, The Beaches, Forest Hill and Lawrence Park. Call +1 (647) 718-3913 to arrange a visit.

Flooring Installation in Toronto

A floor is only as good as what is under it. We fix and level the subfloor first, then install hardwood, engineered wood, tile or stone to a consistent finish through the house. In Toronto, much of the housing is pre-war: narrow semis and detached brick houses with plaster walls, old wiring and shared party walls.

Local knowledge

Flooring Installation in Toronto.

Homes like these
Older houses have plaster walls, uneven floors and original trim, so finishing work includes levelling, repair and matching existing details.
Housing
In Toronto, much of the housing is pre-war: narrow semis and detached brick houses with plaster walls, old wiring and shared party walls.
Permits
Building permits in Toronto are issued by the City of Toronto (Toronto Building). We prepare the drawings, submit the application and book the inspections.
Areas we cover
We work throughout Toronto, including Leaside, The Annex, High Park, Riverdale, The Beaches, Forest Hill and Lawrence Park.
Suites and multiplexes
Toronto permits laneway suites, garden suites and, on most residential lots, up to four units in a house. That makes basement apartments and rear additions more feasible here than in many suburbs.
Tight lots
Narrow lots and shared walls mean additions and underpinning often need a minor variance or a neighbour's cooperation, so the approvals take planning.

Before you start

What to know.

Subfloor
Uneven or loose subfloors cause gaps, cracked tile and squeaks. Fixing them is the part of the job that decides how the floor performs.
Choosing the material
Solid hardwood can be refinished many times but moves with humidity. Engineered wood is more stable, which matters over concrete and in-floor heating.
Continuous floors
Running one floor through the main level without thresholds makes rooms read as larger, but it needs the levels to be planned before installation.
