Hardwood Flooring Installation in Quinte West
Hardwood is the floor most Quinte West buyers ask for by name — and the one that does the most for a home’s value. We install solid and engineered hardwood in homes across Trenton, Frankford, Batawa, and the surrounding communities.
Solid hardwood is nailed down on main and upper floors, where it can be sanded and refinished again and again. Engineered hardwood handles humidity and slab construction better, which matters in parts of Quinte West. We’ll tell you straight which one fits your rooms — and your budget.
How a Hardwood Installation Goes
- Measure. Every room is measured in person, so your quote is based on your actual floors — not a guess from a floor plan.
- Product selection. Species, grade, plank width, and finish, matched to each room and to what you want to spend.
- Acclimation. The boards sit in your home before installation so they settle to your humidity levels.
- Prep. Old flooring removed, subfloor levelled and re-screwed where it needs it.
- Installation and finishing. Boards installed, then site-finished or prefinished, with matching trim and transitions.
What Hardwood Flooring Costs
Solid hardwood typically runs about $10 to $16 per square foot installed — materials around $5 to $10 per square foot, labour $3.50 to $6. Engineered hardwood runs about $9 to $14 per square foot installed. Premium species and wide planks can run past $18 to $25 per square foot.
A few extras can change a quote, and we price them up front: removal and disposal of old flooring, about $1 to $2 per square foot; subfloor levelling and repair, $2 to $5 per square foot; a hardwood staircase commonly runs $1,500 to $4,000.
Hardwood in Quinte West Homes
Homes near the Bay of Quinte, Weller’s Bay, Bayside, and Carrying Place see more humidity than homes further inland. There, engineered hardwood — or solid hardwood with indoor humidity kept at 35 to 45% — is the safe call. In older Trenton homes, subfloor levelling and re-screwing get priced into your quote up front, not discovered halfway through the job.
Already have hardwood? Hardwood floor refinishing may cost about a third of replacing it.
