What about "unforeseen conditions"? Yes — fixed, in writing, in your contract. Our senior estimator moisture-tests your subfloor and inspects conditions during the free consultation, so there are no "unforeseen conditions" to surprise you later. The number on paper is the number on your invoice. ### Can we stay in the house during the work? Yes. Containment is HEPA-sealed extraction at the machine plus containment at the room. We do not publish a room-capture percentage, because we have not measured one on a job — what we will tell you is exactly which machine is sealed to what, and you can ask any contractor the same question. Most refinishing clients sleep at home every night of the job, and the water-based finishes are low-odour and walk-on ready in 2–4 hours. ### What warranty comes with the work? Your finishes and materials carry their manufacturer warranties — typically 25–35 years on finish, up to 50 years structural — passed through to you in writing, itemized in your contract. If anything in our workmanship isn’t right, we come back and make it right. ### How long will my project take? A standard 1,000–1,500 sq ft installation takes 5 to 7 working days: moisture testing and acclimation, installation, then sanding, staining and finishing. Refinishing is typically 3–5 days. Your written estimate includes a committed schedule. ### How do you match new hardwood to old floors seamlessly? By matching species, width and grain direction first, then trialling stain on site on the actual old boards — never from a single can chosen off a sample. Where boards have to be replaced, repairs are feathered into the surrounding run rather than butted in a straight line. A full sand alone will not hide a species or width mismatch, which is why matching is decided before any machine is switched on. ### How much does hardwood flooring cost in Toronto? Installed ranges typically run about $11.00–$18.00 per sq ft for new hardwood, $4.75–$7.50 for full sand and finish, and $2.50–$4.00 for a screen and recoat — before stairs, transitions, or moisture remediation. Species, pattern, and substrate move the number. The fixed price is written after a free in-home measure, not from a phone quote. ### What is dustless hardwood refinishing, and does it work in an occupied home? Dustless means HEPA-sealed extraction at the machine and containment at the room — not a marketing label. We publish no room-capture percentage, because we have not measured one on a Toronto job; a filter rating is not a room measurement and the two get quoted as though they were the same number. Most refinishing clients sleep at home every night of the job. Water-based finishes are low-odour and walk-on ready in 2–4 hours. ### How do I choose a hardwood flooring contractor in Toronto? Ask for a written fixed price after a moisture test, not a phone range. Confirm who actually sands the floor (salaried crew vs revolving subcontractors), which machines run in which order, and whether manufacturer warranties are itemized in the contract. Compare the decision guide on evaluating a hardwood quote before you sign anything. ## Estimate - [Request an estimate](https://ecowoods.ca/estimate): Request a free in-home measure and a fixed written price.
