Flooring covers a wide range of work: hardwood installation and refinishing, engineered wood, laminate, luxury vinyl plank, tile, and carpet. Some contractors specialize in one material, others handle full-home projects that mix several. Beyond laying the material, the job usually includes subfloor prep (leveling, moisture testing, removing old flooring), trim and transition work, and sometimes minor floor structure repairs if there's damage underneath. Mississauga has a mix of older homes with plywood or original hardwood subfloors and newer builds on concrete slabs, so the right approach depends heavily on what's underneath the surface you're replacing.
When comparing contractors, ask how they handle moisture testing on concrete slabs, whether they subcontract installation or use in-house crews, and how they price: per square foot including materials, or labor only. Get a clear breakdown of what's included (removal and disposal of old flooring, baseboards, furniture moving) before comparing quotes, since these line items vary a lot between companies and can make a cheap-looking bid more expensive in practice.
We rank the 21 flooring contractors in this category based on the same criteria across the board: verified licensing and insurance, warranty terms, response time to quotes, and patterns in customer feedback around punctuality and finish quality.
