Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the flooring cost estimates?
Our estimates are based on current Canadian market data and reflect typical pricing in major cities. Results provide reliable budget planning guidance to help you compare quotes and make informed decisions about your flooring project.
Are taxes included in the cost calculations?
No, taxes are not included in our calculations. You'll need to add applicable provincial and federal taxes (HST, PST+GST, or GST only) based on your location. Tax rates vary by province: Ontario (13% HST), BC (12% PST+GST), Quebec (14.975% TVQ+TPS), Alberta (5% GST only).
What's included in the labor cost estimates?
Labor costs include basic installation work such as measuring, cutting, laying flooring, and cleanup. Additional services like furniture moving, subfloor preparation, trim work, or complex patterns may cost extra and should be discussed with your contractor.
How much extra should I budget for unexpected costs?
It's recommended to add 10-20% to your total estimate for unexpected costs. Common extras include subfloor repairs, additional materials due to waste, doorway transitions, or discovering issues during installation that require additional work.
What factors affect flooring installation costs the most?
Key cost factors include: room size and layout complexity, flooring material type and quality, subfloor condition, removal of existing flooring, geographic location, contractor experience level, and project timeline. Larger, simpler rooms typically cost less per square foot.
Should I get multiple quotes from contractors?
Yes, absolutely! Get at least 3-4 quotes from licensed contractors. Compare not just prices but also materials included, timeline, warranty offered, and contractor reviews. Our calculator helps you identify unreasonably high or low quotes.
When is the best time to install new flooring?
Spring and fall are typically the best times for flooring installation due to moderate humidity levels. Avoid peak summer humidity or winter dryness when possible. Book contractors 4-6 weeks in advance during busy seasons. Off-season installation may offer better pricing.
How long does flooring installation typically take?
Installation time varies by project size and flooring type: laminate/vinyl (1-3 days), hardwood (2-5 days), tile (3-7 days), carpet (1-2 days). Add extra time for furniture moving, subfloor work, or removal of existing flooring. Complex layouts take longer.
