Had Matt and the Encore team back again to paint the walls this time after a fantastic experience in garage poly-floor application. Experience and Service level were the same; Exceptional! You won't go wrong by choosing Encore!

Matt and Dan were so easy to work with And did an amazing job in refinishing our garage floor. We had every confidence in their work and they proved us right. I would highly recommend them.

I recommend Encore Poly-floor Coatings and Decorating. First, I had Matthew and Melanie coat my garage and paint my basement floor. They worked steadily and did a wonderful job. Dust be gone and clean air returned. I then had Matthew and Dan finish a Hallway and Hobby Room in the lower level of my home. Such obvious attention to detail and steady work habits can only be given the highest praise. Their rates were reasonable and even the paperwork came in as scheduled. Jeanne Pitts Guelph

Great Company, Great Job, Great people!!! Quoting process was "no pressure" based and the sales guys were very informed. From quote to install the team was great at addressing any questions that arose. They used a very modern quoting system which explained each component the measurement and the unit price as well as total commit. The installation started exactly when they said it would and finished on time. The floor grinding process, which I expected to be messy end up extremely clean and tidy. I can say this was the same for all the stages. The results were exactly as described in both our garage and front porch. I highly recommend this team. And I will investigate other services they provide (through sister painting company) should the need arise.

Before you hire a flooring installer in Ontario

No provincial licence required. Manufacturer installation requirements are the real standard, because they govern your warranty.

General liability insurance and WSIB clearance

Standard checks.

Manufacturer installation compliance

Most flooring warranties specify subfloor flatness, moisture content and acclimation. Departing from them voids coverage, and the manufacturer will ask for evidence if you claim.

Moisture testing for concrete subfloors

Basements and slab-on-grade need a moisture test before wood or glue-down vinyl goes on. Skipping it is the most common cause of catastrophic basement floor failure.

Asbestos assessment for pre-1990 flooring

Old vinyl tile and its adhesive can contain asbestos. It must not be sanded or dry-scraped without assessment.

Questions worth asking

  • Is subfloor preparation included, and what happens if the floor turns out to be uneven?
  • Is removal and disposal of the existing flooring in this price?
  • How long will the material acclimate on site before installation?
  • For basements or concrete: will you moisture-test the slab first?
  • Are transitions, baseboard, quarter round and stair nosing included?
