General Contractor in Burnaby, BC
Flooring Installation in Burnaby
Burnaby is one of our busiest service areas, and its housing mix keeps flooring work interesting: 1960s ranchers in Capitol Hill and Burnaby Heights with original oak worth saving, split-levels in Deer Lake with basement suites to floor, and new towers at Metrotown and Brentwood with strict acoustic rules. Old To New installs hardwood, engineered wood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate, and tile across all of it, fully insured, with free on-site quotes and honest advice on what suits each home.
Refinish or replace the oak in a Burnaby rancher?
A large share of Capitol Hill, Burnaby Heights, and Edmonds homes built in the 1950s and 60s have solid oak strip flooring under decades-old carpet. If the boards still have wear layer left, sanding and refinishing usually delivers a better floor for less money than replacement, and the original oak in these homes is often thicker than anything sold today. We pull a register or a closet corner to check thickness, look for pet staining and previous sandings, then give you both numbers, refinish and replace, so the decision is yours with real costs attached.
LVP for Burnaby basement suites and rental units
Burnaby's ranchers and split-levels convert readily into mortgage-helper suites, and luxury vinyl plank is the floor we install in most of them. It is waterproof, which matters below grade in Deer Lake and Edmonds where slab moisture is common, and it takes tenant wear without showing it. We test the slab, level low spots, add a vapour barrier where readings call for it, and run the same product through kitchen, living space, and bedrooms for a clean look with no transitions to fail. For suite bathrooms we typically switch to tile for durability at the tub.
Underlay rules in Metrotown and Brentwood towers
The condo towers around Metrotown and Brentwood almost all require strata approval before hard-surface flooring goes in, and each building specifies its own minimum acoustic underlay rating. Skip that step and you risk a stop-work letter or being forced to rip out a finished floor. We deal with these buildings regularly: we match the underlay to your building's stated requirement, provide data sheets for your council application, book elevators, and protect common hallways. From application to final trim, the process is managed so your only decision is which floor you want to live on.
