Renovate on a budget
How to get a beautiful result for less — practical tips from our Markham flooring showroom and installation team.
A great-looking renovation doesn't have to cost the most. Here's how our customers get the look they want while keeping the budget under control.
1. Pick the right floor for each room
Vinyl plank & SPC and laminate flooring give you a real wood look for less than hardwood. For cheap waterproof flooring, LVP and SPC give the best value; laminate rated AC4 is the budget choice for dry rooms. Compare them in our flooring buying guide — LVP vs laminate. Waterproof SPC goes almost anywhere, including kitchens and basements.
2. Shop our specials
Check our current specials — some come with installation included or discounted. Call us to check availability on a special.
3. Keep your railing, replace the steps
For stair renovation, you don't always need a whole new staircase. We can take off your railing, install new treads and nosing, and put the railing back.
4. Refinish instead of replacing
Handrails, posts and side boards in good shape can be refinished and stained to match your new floor.
5. Supply & install from one company
Buying the floor and the installation from the same place means one price, no gaps between supplier and installer, and no surprise extra trips for materials.
6. Know your price before you start
