Hintonburg Flooring Challenges
Two very different housing styles, one great neighborhood
Your Victorian's Original Floors Are Hiding
Somewhere under that 1980s berber carpet is your home's original hardwood. Is it savable? Will refinishing damage it? You're afraid to even look, let alone trust someone who might ruin what's underneath.Your Modern Infill Needs Warmth
You built or bought a sleek, contemporary home. White walls, clean lines, lots of light. But it feels cold. Echoey. Uninviting. You need warmth without sacrificing your modern aesthetic.Three Renovations, Five Flooring Types
Your Hintonburg home has been renovated multiple times by multiple owners. Hardwood here, tile there, laminate in the addition. Your main floor looks like a flooring sample board from 1997.Hintonburg's Red-Hot Market Pressure
You know your home's value has skyrocketed. But will buyers see past your tired floors? You want to sell at the peak—but your floors are telling a different story.Why Hintonburg Needs Two Kinds of Flooring Experts
Hintonburg is two neighborhoods in one. The historic core—Victorian and Edwardian homes built between 1890 and 1920. Original hardwood, often covered, often needing restoration. And the new Hintonburg—modern infills, converted storefronts, contemporary townhomes. Clean lines, open concepts, concrete or plywood subfloors.
One company rarely excels at both. The gentle touch required for 120-year-old fir floors is different from the precision installation needed for 8-inch wide-plank engineered hardwood in a modern build.
Our network includes both. We match you with installers who specialize in your exact situation. Heritage restorers who treat original wood like archaeological artifacts. Or modern flooring pros who create seamless, minimalist surfaces for contemporary spaces.
Same neighborhood. Different homes. The right installer for yours.

What Hintonburg Homeowners Say
"Our 1902 home had the original fir floors buried under 40 years of carpet and 20 years of laminate. I was terrified to see what condition they were in. The installer spent hours carefully removing layers. Underneath, the fir was scratched and stained but structurally sound. He refinished it beautifully. Our home finally feels historic instead of just old."
"My new build felt cold and echoey. All white walls and concrete subfloor. I needed warmth but didn't want to compromise the modern aesthetic. The installer recommended 7-inch wide-plank white oak with a matte finish. It's perfect. My home finally feels like it's mine."
"Our Hintonburg home had been renovated three times. Three different floors on the same level. It drove me crazy. The installer suggested one beautiful maple throughout. No transitions, no visual chaos. Our home feels twice as big and ten times more intentional."
