Flooring installation costs in Orléans vary by material, room size, subfloor condition, and layout complexity. Vinyl plank installation typically runs $3–$6 per square foot for labour, while tile work involving floor prep, custom layout, or large-format tiles costs more. Sending photos of your space before an in-person visit helps establish a realistic range quickly.

Yes. Orleans Flooring Co. installs luxury vinyl plank (LVP) throughout Orléans and Ottawa. The prep work matters most — we assess subfloor flatness, moisture levels, and transition points before any plank goes down. A properly prepared subfloor prevents creaking, gapping, and premature wear.

Tile cracks most often result from inadequate subfloor preparation: too much flex in the substrate, insufficient mortar coverage, missing expansion joints, or movement cracks in the slab. Large-format tiles are especially sensitive to subfloor flatness. Fixing the underlying cause — not just replacing the tile — is the correct approach.

Yes. Floor leveling and surface prep are standard parts of every tile or flooring installation we do. Depending on the substrate, that may involve self-leveling compound, grinding high spots, patching low areas, or replacing compromised sections. We don't install over bad subfloors.

We work alongside your electrician for the wiring connections.

Most residential rooms take 1–3 days depending on size, material, and prep required. A bathroom tile installation with floor prep and full tile work typically takes 2–4 days. Larger projects, custom patterns, or significant subfloor work take longer. We give honest timelines upfront rather than rushing.

Yes. We handle commercial tile repair in Ottawa including cracked tiles, hollow tiles, failed grout joints, and water-damaged sections. For commercial work, we can schedule around business hours where needed. Contact us with photos of the damage and we'll assess the scope.

Floor prep determines how long the installation lasts. Tile installed over a substrate that flexes too much will crack. Vinyl plank installed over an uneven floor will creak, gap, or show imperfections through the wear layer. Proper prep — leveling, moisture barriers, correct underlayment, clean transitions — is what separates a floor that lasts 20 years from one that fails in 3.
