Hardwood Floor Installation · Guelph
Hardwood Floor Installation in Guelph, Ontario
Guelph homeowners want hardwood for good reason: it lasts, it refinishes and it suits both limestone-era houses and new builds. Kitchener Prestige Flooring installs solid hardwood across Guelph, from Westminster Woods and Kortright Hills to the older streets near downtown.
Over 16+ years and more than 1,700 flooring jobs, we have learned what Guelph homes need. Newer homes need carpet swapped for wood on the main floor, and older homes need new floors that meet additions at the same height.
Our installers are licensed, insured and WSIB covered. Every Guelph hardwood installation carries a written 1-year labour warranty.

Replacing Carpet in Guelph's Newer Homes
Homes in Westminster Woods, Kortright Hills, Grange Hill East and Victoria North were often built with carpet in living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms. Replacing it with hardwood is one of our most common Guelph jobs.
We remove the carpet, check and re-fasten the subfloor and nail down solid oak. Stairs can be converted at the same time.
Hardwood in Older Guelph Homes
Older homes near downtown, in The Ward and in Exhibition Park often have rear additions built at different times. Floor heights and subfloors differ between sections.
We level and transition between old and new sections so the new hardwood flows through. Where original floors survive, we can match and weave in new boards.
Acclimation for Guelph Conditions
Guelph winters are dry indoors, and summers are humid. We acclimate hardwood in your home and install only when moisture readings match the subfloor.
Keeping indoor humidity between 35 and 55% with a furnace humidifier prevents most seasonal gaps.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Still unsure? Call and ask.
Ask for a Free Quote Can you match new hardwood to an existing floor in an older Guelph home?
Often, yes. We match species and board width, then sand and finish old and new together so they blend. Where widths differ, we plan a clean transition at a doorway.
What hardwood suits a newer Guelph home?
Red and white oak are the most popular. White oak in 4 to 5 inch planks suits the lighter, modern look in many south-end homes.
How long does hardwood installation take in Guelph?
Most main floors take two to four days after acclimation, plus three to five days if the floor is site finished.
