Flooring Calculator FAQ (GTA)
Quick answers about flooring installation pricing, timelines, and best flooring by room and lifestyle.
Hybrid (SPC) and quality vinyl (LVP) are common pet-friendly choices because they resist scratches and clean easily. Engineered hardwood can work with the right finish, but solid hardwood may show wear faster in busy pet homes.
Basements usually need moisture-aware options. Hybrid (SPC), vinyl (LVP), and tile are common choices depending on comfort and moisture risk. A vapor barrier and correct underlay matter as much as the floor type.
Often yes. Click floors can fail early when the subfloor has dips, ridges, or movement. Leveling reduces squeaks, hollow spots, joint separation, and visible telegraphing.
Yes if you enable "Remove existing flooring and dispose." Tile and glued floors usually cost more to remove than floating click floors, especially when adhesive scraping is needed.
You can include or exclude HST using the Tax (HST) setting. Ontario default is 13%. Final invoices vary by exact scope and materials.
Timeline depends on removal, subfloor repairs, leveling drying time, and finishing details. Click floors can be faster once the subfloor is ready, while tile and hardwood may take longer due to curing and acclimation steps.
FLOORING INSTALLATION REVIEWS FROM MISSISSAUGA, OAKVILLE & WEST GTA HOMEOWNERS
Homeowners in Mississauga, Oakville, Milton, Burlington, Hamilton, Vaughan and Etobicoke choose MyAurora for clean, well-planned flooring installation and removal. These reviews highlight real projects where our team removed old flooring, fixed subfloor issues, and installed durable floors with clean transitions and finishing details.
Our old laminate was squeaky and uneven in a few spots. MyAurora removed everything, fixed the subfloor, and installed a new click vinyl floor that looks like wood. The cuts around vents and doorways are clean, and the whole main floor feels smoother and quieter.
We were worried about moisture because it is a basement. They explained the vapor protection and underlay, and the installation was done in a way that feels solid and warm underfoot. The space finally feels finished and easy to keep clean.
MyAurora helped with the building requirements and made sure the underlay met the sound rules. The hallways and elevator were protected, and the job stayed clean. The new floor looks modern and the noise difference is huge compared to before.
The details were what impressed us most. The stair nosing, transitions, and baseboard finishing look seamless and professional. They also fixed a few soft spots in the subfloor we did not know about.
We wanted a warmer, higher-end look for the main floor. They explained acclimation and layout direction, and the install looks straight and consistent through the hallway and living area. The floor feels solid and the finish is beautiful.
Our entryway tile was cracked and uneven. The crew managed dust, removed the old tile properly, and installed new tile with clean grout lines and transitions. It looks sharp and should hold up for years.
