How much does hardwood floor installation cost in Burlington?

For 900 sq ft in Burlington, budget roughly $14,650 to $20,800 before HST, at 2026 Greater Toronto labour and mill pricing. From $11–$22 / sq ft installed is the catalogue range; Burlington sits where it does because of local labour and access. A site measure is what turns that band into a firm number.

How long does installation take in a Burlington home?

5–8 working days for 900 sq ft, plus the finish cure window where site finishing is involved. We book Burlington site visits within a few days and give you a written schedule before the crew arrives.

Can you match installation to the hardwood already in my Burlington house?

Yes — matching is the normal case, not the exception. We identify the species and grade, sample the stain against your existing boards in daylight, and sign the sample off with you before anything is cut. A mix of 1960s ranches, 1990s two-storeys, and newer infill near the lake.

Hardwood Floor Installation in Burlington, Ontario

Installation in Burlington starts with the subfloor, not the sample. We take moisture readings and a flatness check across the whole floor area before a single board is ordered, because the assembly that works over Halton joists is not the assembly that works over a slab.

How we specify installation here

Moisture mapping and subfloor flattening before a single board is laid
Solid nail-down, glue-down engineered, and floating systems
Herringbone, chevron, mixed-width, and border layouts
Radiant-heat compatible assemblies with manufacturer warranties intact

Most failed hardwood floors in the GTA were installed on a subfloor nobody measured. Ontario basements sweat, new-build slabs off-gas moisture, and century homes move with the seasons. Green Hardwood starts every install with a Tramex moisture survey, a flatness check, and an acclimation window matched to the species — not a calendar guess.

We install solid hardwood (typically 3/4") where the structure can take it, and premium engineered hardwood over concrete, radiant, or when a thinner assembly is required. White oak is the workhorse of Toronto right now; walnut, maple, hickory, and red oak are specified when the architecture asks for them.

Layout is not decoration. In a Rosedale hallway we run boards to carry the eye to the stair. In a King West condo we often switch to herringbone so a small floor reads as architecture, not leftover material. Transitions to tile, stair nosings, and flush vents are detailed on paper before we cut.
