Hardwood Floor Installation in East York

What we walk into in East York

1930s–50s semi-detached and small detached houses, many never renovated below the carpet. Rooms are small, ceilings are low, and the original 2 1/4" strip oak is usually still there and usually worth saving.

Lifting broadloom to find intact oak, dust-contained refinishing in occupied houses, and steep narrow flights where every millimetre of run matters.

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.
