Victoria
Flooring Installation
In Victoria.
Greater Victoria has the island’s widest spread of housing: character houses in older neighbourhoods, a great many condos, basement suites, and new subdivisions out in Langford and the West Shore. Each brings different rules about what can go on the floor and what has to go under it.
What Changes The Work In Victoria
- Condo stratas commonly require a minimum sound rating for the underlay under hard floors. Check the bylaws before choosing a product.
- Character houses can have original wood subfloors that are far from flat, and old floors that have been covered over more than once.
- Basement suites on concrete suit vinyl plank or engineered hardwood, once the slab has been checked for moisture.
Common Questions
Victoria Questions
Do you install flooring in Victoria condos?
Yes. Strata bylaws usually set an underlay sound rating for hard floors; tell us your building’s requirement and the installation is planned to meet it.
You are in Port Alberni. Do you really come to Victoria?
Yes. Bennett & Sons work anywhere on Vancouver Island. Send photos and your timing, and Justin will confirm scheduling and travel.
Can a floor go over the old one in a character house?
Sometimes, but old floors are often uneven or have been covered before, so it depends what is there. Photos are the first step; some need taking back to the subfloor.
