# Ask Francisco — Ecowoods renovation intelligence > A renovation decision workspace, not a general chatbot. It reasons about the whole home, > retrieves canonical Ecowoods information — published pricing, service scope, evidence — and > hands a conversation off to the real Ecowoods systems (Floor Studio, Quote Check, the estimate > and quote path) at the point where a decision becomes an action. Ecowoods Hardwood Flooring Inc. is a hardwood flooring contractor in Toronto & the GTA, established 2000. It installs, sands, refinishes and restores solid and engineered hardwood floors and stairs, with salaried crews. "I'm Francisco. Tell me about this house — what you want done, and what actually moves value." ## What Ecowoods executes Published services only. If it is not in this list, Ecowoods does not perform the work: - **Hardwood Flooring Installation** — Solid and engineered hardwood laid by salaried craftsmen — straight-lay, herringbone, chevron and custom patterns. - **Hardwood Floor Refinishing** — Bring tired floors back to life: sand to bare wood, re-stain and re-finish for a factory-fresh surface. - **Dust-Free Floor Sanding** — HEPA-sealed extraction at the machine and containment at the room, so most clients stay home during the work. - **Hardwood Floor Restoration** — Rescue and repair heritage and water-damaged floors — board replacement, feathering and colour matching. - **Custom Inlays & Borders** — Bespoke feature strips, medallions and borders routed and fitted by hand for a signature look. - **Stair Refinishing** — Treads, risers and nosings refinished to match your floors for a seamless, hard-wearing finish. Published bands: [Pricing](https://ecowoods.ca/pricing) (https://ecowoods.ca/pricing.md) — $2.50–$4.00 per sq ft to refinish, $4.75–$7.50 per sq ft for a full sand and finish, $11.00–$18.00 per sq ft for a new installation. Fixed price in writing. It never moves after the free in-home estimate. Ask Francisco calls the same pricing function the site's own configurator and estimate form call — never a second number for the same question. ## What it advises on without executing A homeowner asking about a whole-home renovation is not asking only about floors. Ask Francisco can reason about sequencing and tradeoffs involving other trades — Kitchen, Roof, Pool, Windows, HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Bathroom, Siding, Foundation, Addition, Landscaping, and general construction — using sourced market context where a licensed adapter for it exists, and saying plainly when one does not. It never claims Ecowoods installs any of them. That boundary is enforced in code, not just in copy: the tools available to the model can attach flooring/stair facts to a project and propose a measure, estimate or quote — there is no tool that books work in another trade. ## What it can calculate - Published installed-cost ranges for hardwood/stair work, from the same function as the configurator and the estimate form. - A visual configuration of a real, buyable floor rendered into a room, via Floor Studio. - A structured Renovation Decision Analysis (a paid, credit-metered artifact) — project facts, evidence, options, sequence and open questions, computed by a deterministic engine, never a free-text model guess dressed up as a report. ## What it cannot know It never fabricates: - exact measurements from a description or a photograph - property facts, appraisals or a specific house’s value - a contractor quote, or the content of one it has not been shown - return-on-investment or a guaranteed resale outcome - certifications, availability or scheduling it has not been given - market data for a trade with no licensed adapter — it says so instead of guessing ## Where it routes - [Floor Studio](https://ecowoods.ca/floor-studio) (https://ecowoods.ca/floor-studio.md) — see a real configuration in a room - [Design your floor](https://ecowoods.ca/design) (https://ecowoods.ca/design.md) — specify species, finish, pattern and width directly - [Quote Check](https://ecowoods.ca/quote-check) — compare a contractor quote against what a hardwood quote should specify - [Request an estimate](https://ecowoods.ca/estimate) (https://ecowoods.ca/estimate.md) — a fixed written price after a free in-home measure - [The Well-Installed Framework](https://ecowoods.ca/framework) — the The Ecowoods Well-Installed Framework v1.0, 25 criteria a hardwood job is checked against - [Reviews](https://ecowoods.ca/reviews) (https://ecowoods.ca/reviews.md) — cited, sourced customer evidence - [Guides](https://ecowoods.ca/guides) and [technical papers](https://ecowoods.ca/papers) — the evidence behind the guidance - [Case studies](https://ecowoods.ca/case-studies) — real, photographed jobs ## Service area 100 published municipalities across Toronto & the GTA and the GTA — see [service areas](https://ecowoods.ca/service-areas) (https://ecowoods.ca/service-areas.md) for the current, canonical list. This number is generated from the same geography registry every other surface on this site reads; it is never typed separately here. ## How it persists across the site A visit is identified by a Design ID — an opaque join key, never a person or a device — minted the moment a project takes shape and carried into Floor Studio, a saved analysis, and a submitted measure/estimate/quote request, so a homeowner is never asked to re-describe a project they already started. --- ## Provenance - Canonical URL: https://ecowoods.ca/assistant - Publisher: Ecowoods Inc., Toronto & the GTA - Contact: (647) 244-5156 · services@ecowoods.ca - Corner assistant (a separate product): https://ecowoods.ca/ - Citation guide: https://ecowoods.ca/ai.txt Quote freely with attribution to the canonical URL above.
