New floors before you sell your home
Worn carpet, scratched floors and dated stairs stand out in listing photos and showings. We help you refresh them before you list.
Floors and stairs are some of the first things buyers notice — and we can schedule the work quickly, so it's done before your listing date. Replacing worn carpet or tired flooring is often one of the simplest updates you can make before listing — and we can supply and install it with one team.
Popular updates before selling
- Replace carpet with vinyl plank or laminate flooring — including carpet removal and disposal
- Carpet to hardwood stairs — new treads and nosing, stained to match the new floor (stair renovation)
- Keep your railing and replace only the steps, or refinish handrails and posts to look like new
- New baseboards, shoe moulding and quarter round for a clean finish
- Bathroom tile and a new vanity or shower door
Tips for choosing a floor to sell
- Neutral, light-to-mid tones suit the most buyers and photograph well.
- One continuous floor through the main areas makes rooms feel bigger.
- Waterproof vinyl plank or SPC works in the kitchen and basement as well as the living areas.
- Not sure? Bring your room sizes to our Markham showroom and see the colours in person.
Common questions
Should I replace flooring before selling my house?
If the carpet or floors are worn, stained or dated, replacing them is often one of the simplest updates before listing. Talk it through with your realtor, and use our online estimate to see the cost first.
What flooring should I choose before selling?
A neutral, light-to-mid tone in vinyl plank, SPC or laminate suits most buyers. One continuous floor through the main areas makes the home feel bigger.
Can I update my stairs without replacing the railing?
Yes. We can take off your railing, install new treads and nosing, and put your railing back. We also refinish handrails, posts and side boards.
