Renovations

The process of a home renovation will change from reno to reno depending on the scope of work. A full home renovation will look much different than a kitchen renovation which will look different from a bath renovation.

Are walls being removed or moved around, are cabinets being replaced or refinished, is there any concern of asbestos in existing flooring?

Those are only a few examples of things to consider when doing a home renovation. Unlike a new build, existing materials structure need to be taken into consideration as they will heavily influence the options available throughout the renovation.

When it comes to the flooring portion of your renovation, we’ve got you covered. We do a large amount of renovation and restoration work and therefore can provide you with the answers to questions you didn’t even know to ask 😊

The process of a renovation will look similar to a new build in the sense that we suggest bringing in any existing finishes that will not be changing in the space (cabinet colors, countertops, paint colors ect), and we will select from there. Some things to consider when doing a renovation when it comes to your flooring:

$

Flooring Heights

What is the thickness of the flooring being removed? All baseboards, doorjams and toekicks are set to the height of the current flooring. If the flooring height changes, this can leave you with a paint line, gapping under your door jams and toe kicks. There are ways around this such as: building up your flooring to the same height as before, painting your walls, getting new baseboards with a wider profile.

$

Baseboards

Who will be removing and reinstalling these? Will there be new baseboards installed?
$

Cabinetry

Is the layout of the cabinetry changing? Does the flooring run under the cabinets? (With any floating flooring install, we do not recommend the flooring run under the cabinets)

$

Railings

Working around existing railing installation can be tricky, depending on how the railing has been originally installed.

$

Plumbing

Plumbing fixtures such as toilets need to be removed for the removal and install of flooring.

We needed to update the carpet in our baby's bedroom and wanted to make sure it was comfortable for her to crawl on. Don and his crew hooked us up with a fantastic carpet that not only suits the room but is very comfortable. Top quality! Will be recommending World Floorcoverings to everyone.

As an interior designer constantly working with trades on new homes and renovations, I cannot recommend World Floor Coverings enough! I absolutely love bouncing ideas off their designer Lauren, who is extremely knowledgeable and incredible with product recommendations. I work with Justin for pricing and ordering and he always goes above and beyond to make my dreams a reality. If you are looking for great people and amazing work, World Floor Coverings is the spot!

We recently had to have a large part of our basement rebuilt due to a house fire. We had a lot of anxiety and hesitation going into this process because we had a beautiful basement prior to the fire. Now we had to start all over. The thought of choosing flooring, finishings and living through renovations was causing us a lot of stress. Thankfully we met Don at World Floorcoverings. He provided us with various samples of laminate within our budget and showed us a great selection of carpeting. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. He explained the pros and cons of each product and guided us to make choices that would suit our family best. Knowing that we had teenagers he provided us with durable, waterproof, and long-lasting products. Don was fantastic to deal with from the beginning of our flooring journey right through to following up with us once the flooring was installed. We now have an even more beautiful basement with floors that are built to last. Don and his team went above and beyond to provide superior customer service.

We were recently referred to World Floorcoverings by our insurance company for some new carpeting and laminate flooring. Our experience in working with both Don and the flooring installer, Shawn, was excellent from start to finish. Our schedules were quite busy, but Don was very flexible on times for my wife and I to both be able to come over and meet him to pick out flooring, which we greatly appreciated. He took the time to show us all the options for what was in our price range and explained the features and benefits/drawbacks to each. He was a huge help in picking out the laminate as there was a large selection to choose from. We explained the look and style we were going for and he was able to help us narrow down to a few selections and we ultimately picked what has turned out to be great looking laminate flooring and carpet!! Don went above and beyond and did a stellar job through all of this, making the process simple and stress-free!! I would highly recommend World Floorcoverings for your flooring needs!

My partner and I recently had a baby, and needed a carpet refresh in the nursey for a soon-to-be-crawling being. With our home being a historical house, any updating needed to be handled with the utmost care, and World Floorcoverings delivered tenfold! Don was informative, professional, and all around affable. He took the time to assess our needs, address any questions and uncertainties, and broke down the different products in an accessible way. The process was overall enjoyable, and I will definitely be choosing World Floorcoverings for any future floor projects!

Our new floors are now in and we couldn’t be happier with them! From the first time we walked through the doors until the last tradesman left, there was nothing that could have been done better. The flooring arrived quickly, installed ahead of schedule and looked great. We’ll done World Flooring team!!
