Upper level hardwood and stairs

Ben knows his products. Ivan's installation team was beyond awesome. Stairs are absolutely beautiful considering I changed my mind mid project , Ivan swung with the curve and produced a true work of art! Excellent job cleaning up after themselves. Minimal disruption considering one floor and the middle of the house were being worked on. No hesitation in recommending you purchase here.

Main floor hardwood renovation.

Hello,
My wife and I were desperate for a new floor! After years of our main floor carpet and linoleum being battered into oblivion by time and our growing kids it was time for a change!
We had ideas and a plan of sorts and started to research and shop around. We eventually walked into Floors Direct in Newmarket. That's when we were enlightened about the flooring world.
Floors Direct has a world of selection, amazing really. It is a store that can truly meet any flooring requirement. Both Ben and Jeannie explained what options were available to us. They exhibited extensive knowledge and offered helpful advice and answered an endless string of questions.
We decided on Pagoda hardwood (Caramel wire brushed) from Twelve Oaks Forest Products. Our decision was to hardwood our entire main floor with the exception of our laundry room. We used DuraCeramic tile (midnight grey) by Congoleum.
Both my wife and I wanted to do most of the work ourselves to keep the costs down. Basically we did all the prep work leaving the actual hardwood floor installation to the professionals. We removed the old baseboard, flooring and put down a layer of plywood on the subfloor. For this renovation we also planned on painting the walls and putting in new baseboard afterwards.
The Pagoda was delivered four days prior to the installation date to acclimatize. Now this is where Terry and his crew (Ken & Kenny) come in. These guys are good, I mean real good! They quickly accessed the work site and got down to setting up and starting the job. They worked well as a team and only stopped for quick lunches. They were very polite (even asking each and every time if they could use the washroom). They took care not to be destructive to our home and cleaned up as they went. There was also a final clean up.
I'm still in awe at the quality of their workmanship. They installed these matching in floor zero clearance floor vents that are so flush with the Pagoda it's incredible! In all it took them less than two days to finish the of hardwood floor (approximately 850sqft). The laundry room tile was installed by my wife and me.
To conclude, we couldn't be happier with the product and installation. The support from Ben and Jeannie was exemplary. Our main floor now looks awesome and we are no longer embarrassed to have guests visit!

Hey you guys, thank you so much for the lovely review. I've been in the UK so I'm sorry for the late response. What happened with your baseboards Albert? I hope you got them sorted out, if not let me know.

You were great to work with, and I can honestly say that I have never known anyone prep as well for an installation. It saved everyone a lot of heartaches and I wish everyone was as organized.

Thanks for choosing us. We really appreciate your business. Enjoy your lovely floor and hopefully if you ever do any more projects you'll choose us again.

Hugs

Home Renovation

Our relationship with Floors Direct North started when trying to find hardwood that could be used in a ceiling application. My wife and I were introduced to Ben who took the time to explain to us the various options of wood we could choose from, how each could be installed, and worked within our budget. We were pleased to find someone that finally seemed genuine; he was down to earth, honest, and cared about making our wants a reality.

We were so pleased that when it came time to look for hardwoord flooring for our project, we went straight back. Only this time, we were fortunate enough to work with Jeannie, Sanketh and Brian also. Each of them provided us with the knowledge, and expertise that we needed to complete the flooring for our unique situation. They kept us in the loop at all times when working with the suppliers for our special orders, and always had our best interests at heart.

They truly make you feel welcomed, like part of their family. A family that we our proud to now be a part of :)

Hardwood- exotic walnut

We were very unsure about what to do with the original floors in our new- very old home. We made several drop-ins to Direct Floors North and were always greeted with respectful, helpful, charming and totally knowledgeable sales associates. The entire process was made so easy -despite our own indecisiveness- they have so many great options! When we finally did make up our minds, they had the floor ready for the next business day and even gave us e option of having it delivered! Everyone on the team at Direct Floors North made us feel really good about our purchase, from our first visit to the delightful delivery man, Brad. Everyone made us feel really good about our final purchase- at a great price with incredible customer service! Thanks to all at Direct Floors North for being an outstanding company! To future buyers, my husband and I highly recommend you take a visit into their shop- you won't regret it!

You guys were lovely too and I'm so glad you got a floor you loved. We hope we are able to work on further projects with you in the future.

Carpet throughout house

From the moment I walked through their doors, I was felt a genuine and warm reception. Whether we dealt with Ben, Jeannie or Sanket, each one of them was friendly and professional. There are other flooring places around so the difference for us was their passion for serving the individual needs of each customer. Ben and Sanket remembered us even after the first visit! Makes you feel like they really care about you as a person. Ben went above and beyond to get the job done to our unique needs while we were undergoing whole-house renovations! They were dependable, on schedule and on budget. They even placed a follow up call to see if we were satisfied. It was a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be a repeat customer and will recommend them to others.

New bedroom/upstairs/stairs hardwood floors

The staff at Floors Direct were an absolute delight to work with. They offered great honest advice and they never pressured us to make a decision. My wife and I were nervous about making this sort of investment in the house but Ben and Jeannie were so helpful and made us feel confident in our purchase. Floors Direct removed all of the carpet from the bedrooms and stairs, disposed of all the garbage, repaired the subfloor and installed the new hardwood floors. We also had the pickets to the staircase painted white, and the handrail stained. We also had a carpet runner installed. It was a big job but we honestly felt like this was a partnership. To prove to you just how much we trusted Ben and Jeannie - we had all this work done while we were away on vacation. We knew they understood exactly what needed to be done and that's what happened. We came home to a perfect job and it really has changed the way we look at our house. We will definitely be using them again when the time comes to replace the hardwood floors in the living room and family rooms. I recommend them to all of you.

Stair Runner

I want to thank the staff at Floors Direct North for not only their excellent customer service, but for their genuineness and hospitality. Jeannie, Ben and Brian were all very welcoming and made choosing the right product for our home so much less stressful. Their price for the stair runner was approx. 25% less then a large competitor of theirs and the installers who came to my home, Del and Jay, were very friendly and professional. Seeing how pleasant our experience was with Floors Direct North, I have now committed to buying the flooring for the upstairs of my home with them. I highly recommend for anyone's flooring needs in the GTA.
