Homes in Coquitlam

On the coast, months of damp air and wet boots mean moisture management matters more than temperature. In the Interior, hot dry summers and cold winters make engineered products and proper acclimatization essential.

Vancouver, Burnaby and Victoria strata buildings almost always require an acoustic underlay and written approval before a hard-surface installation.
Coastal crawlspace homes should have the subfloor checked for moisture before any wood or laminate goes down.
Labour costs in Metro Vancouver run higher than anywhere else in Canada; expect the top of the ranges below in the city and lower in the Fraser Valley and Interior.

How much does flooring installation cost in Coquitlam?

Typical installed prices in Coquitlam run about $6.3–12.6 per sq ft for vinyl plank, $5.25–10.5 for laminate, $10.5–21 for hardwood, $4.73–9.45 for carpet and $14.7–29.4 for tile, before tax. Removal of old flooring, subfloor prep, stairs and baseboards are quoted separately. BC quotes add 5% GST; PST on materials is usually built into the installer's price for supply-and-install work.

How long does flooring installation take in Coquitlam?

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.
