Winter indoor humidity often drops below 20%, which shrinks solid hardwood and opens gaps. Engineered hardwood, laminate and rigid-core vinyl are the usual recommendations, with a humidifier for any wood floor.

Nearly every Alberta home has a basement and most are finished or being finished; vinyl plank over a moisture barrier or subfloor panels is the standard choice.
Newer subdivisions have OSB subfloors that are usually flat; older inner-city homes can need levelling before laminate or vinyl.
No PST means Alberta quotes are among the lowest in Canada for the same product.

Questions Red Deer homeowners ask

Do Red Deer installers travel to Sylvan Lake?

How much does flooring installation cost in Red Deer?

Typical installed prices in Red Deer run about $5.22–10.45 per sq ft for vinyl plank, $4.27–8.55 for laminate, $9.5–16.15 for hardwood, $3.8–7.6 for carpet and $9.5–20.9 for tile, before tax. Removal of old flooring, subfloor prep, stairs and baseboards are quoted separately. Alberta quotes add 5% GST only; there is no provincial sales tax.

How long does flooring installation take in Red Deer?

Most rooms are done in a day. A 1,000 sq ft main floor in vinyl plank or laminate takes one to two days, hardwood two to three days, and tile three to five days. Add a day for stairs and a day if old flooring has to be removed.

Do I need to remove my old flooring first?

No. Your installer can remove and dispose of old carpet, laminate, tile or vinyl, usually for $1 to $2.50 per sq ft. Floating floors cannot go over another floating floor, so old laminate always comes up.
