There are no crews handed off to subcontractors, no surprises, and no shortcuts taken with subfloor preparation. If you live in Orléans, Avalon, Fallingbrook, Chapel Hill, Convent Glen, or anywhere else in the east end of Ottawa, this is the contractor who shows up himself and does the work.
Orleans Flooring Co. installs luxury vinyl plank (LVP), engineered and solid hardwood, ceramic and porcelain tile, large-format tile, and in-floor electric radiant heating systems. Every project starts with a proper subfloor assessment — flatness is checked, high spots are ground down, low spots are filled with floor-leveling compound, and moisture conditions are evaluated before any flooring goes down. That prep work is what separates a floor that looks great for thirty years from one that starts clicking, peaking, or cracking within the first two.
If you're planning a renovation in Orléans — whether it's a full main floor, a bathroom tile job, or a basement LVP install — call Joseph directly at 613-981-8903 for a straightforward conversation and a free, detailed quote.
Flooring Types Installed in Orléans
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
The most popular choice for Orléans homes right now — waterproof, durable, comfortable underfoot, and available in a wide range of realistic wood-look finishes. Ideal for main floors, basements, and kitchens. Requires flat subfloor within 3/16" over 10 feet for a proper floating install.
Hardwood Flooring
Solid and engineered hardwood installation using nail-down, glue-down, or floating methods depending on subfloor type and project conditions. Proper acclimation and moisture testing are mandatory steps before installation begins.
Ceramic & Porcelain Tile
Floor and wall tile installation including large-format tile (24×24 and up), subway tile, hexagonal tile, and natural stone. Work includes backer board installation, proper mortar selection, and grout sealing.
Heated Floors (Electric Radiant)
In-floor electric heating systems installed under tile or LVP — ideal for bathroom floors and basement areas. Systems are embedded in the mortar bed or underlayment layer with a programmable thermostat.

The Prep Process
Good flooring starts with the subfloor, not the surface. Before any product goes down, the existing subfloor is inspected for flatness, structural integrity, squeaks, and moisture. Flatness tolerances vary by product — LVP typically requires no more than 3/16" variation over a 10-foot span, while large-format tile demands even tighter tolerances.
High spots are addressed with a diamond-cup grinder. Low spots are filled with a Portland cement-based floor leveling compound, which is feathered out and allowed to cure before installation begins. Any loose subfloor panels are re-fastened to eliminate movement.
For hardwood installs, a moisture meter is used to check both the subfloor and the flooring material itself. The hardwood is acclimated in the home for a minimum of 48 to 72 hours before installation. For tile, backer board is installed where the subfloor requires added rigidity to prevent grout cracking over time.
This prep work is not billable filler — it's what determines whether your floor performs as it should for its full intended lifespan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does flooring installation cost in Orléans?
Pricing varies by product and project scope. As a general range, LVP installation in Orléans typically runs $4–$7 per square foot for labour, not including the material itself. Tile installation — especially large-format or heated floor tile — runs higher due to the additional preparation and setting time involved. Hardwood falls somewhere in between depending on installation method. Every project gets a written quote after a free on-site assessment, so you'll have clear numbers before any work begins.
What types of flooring do you install?
Orleans Flooring Co. installs luxury vinyl plank (LVP), engineered hardwood, solid hardwood, ceramic tile, porcelain tile, large-format tile, natural stone tile, and electric in-floor radiant heating systems. If you're unsure which product is right for your space, Joseph can walk you through the pros and cons of each during the quote visit.
Do you remove and dispose of the old flooring?
Yes, old flooring removal and disposal can be included in the project scope. This covers existing LVP, laminate, hardwood, vinyl sheet, and ceramic tile. Demo work is quoted separately from installation so you can see exactly what each component costs. If you're doing your own demo ahead of time to reduce cost, that's also an option — just make sure the subfloor is left clean and intact.
How long does a typical flooring project take in Orléans?
Timeline depends on the size and complexity of the job. A main-floor LVP install in an average Orléans home (600–900 sq ft) typically takes one to two days. A tiled bathroom, including backer board, mortar bed, tile setting, and grouting, usually takes two to three days to account for curing time between stages. Hardwood installs vary by method — nail-down goes quickly, but glue-down and floating both have their own timing considerations. You'll get a realistic timeline as part of your quote.
