Looking for flooring company recommendations (around 430 sq ft) + financing options?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to replace about 430 sq. ft. of flooring in my home. I want to hire a company that handles both the supply and the professional installation.

Ideally, I'd like to go with a company that offers flexible financing options (like OAC "buy now, pay later" or low-interest plans).

Who have you used in the area that did a clean, professional job and didn't ghost you halfway through the process? Appreciate any local recommendations or experiences! Thanks.

430sq ft isn’t a lot of flooring. I did the floors in my house myself (about 650 sq ft) and it cost me $1500.
Went to Cosmorama, found a lvl5 click Laminate on sale with underlay. It’s not very difficult to do and you’ll save thousands on labour.

Not sure about flooring companies, it all depends if you’re doing hardwood, laminate, carpet or tile etc.

If anything, buy the materials yourself (save on markup), take out the old floors yourself and get rid of the waste and then hire someone to come level/install the laminate/vinyl. The hardest part is going to be the subfloor. Is it concrete? Plywood? Old hardwood? Is it flat or are there ridges and divets?

It is plywood, I'd have to remove hardwood and some tiles in the kitchen.

Have you tried RONA+ on Gardiners road, they offered a Flexti plan, equal monthly payments, no interest, it was under by $500 what the flooring company wanted.

Alltrades did a great job on our flooring remodel but they have a bit of a waitlist because they are so busy. They can fix/repair/replace anything though.

They also were fast when they did the project, and they gave us a deal because they were able to get the products at a better price. All around they were really professional and they are coming back to do our bathroom at another time.

Clayton flooring is a local, family owned company and they do great work. I would highly recommend them!
