Hardwood: Hardwood is a classic choice, is timeless in style and will add value to your home.

It’s an elegant choice, can be low maintenance depending on the type of stone, but is very expensive. Average installation averaging $12-$17/sq. ft.
Carpet: Carpet is a warm and cozy choice for bedrooms and living rooms. It’s easy to clean, can reduce noise and is a good insulator. Carpet has a huge range in quality and price, with the lower cost options usually wearing prematurely. It also collects allergens, which can have a negative health impact on some homeowners.

Laminate: Laminate is another good option if you want to mimic the look of hardwood without the larger price tag. It’s easy to DIY and comes in a range of styles and colours. It is water resistant, but not waterproof, making it a poor choice for high-spill zones like the kitchen or bathroom. Average installation cost: $5.50/sq. ft.
Linoleum: Linoleum has been a popular cost-effective flooring choice for a long time. It can last for decades and is soft to walk on. It can be damaged by sharp objects and will fade in the sun over time. While it’s a cheap option, it will not add as much value to your home as other flooring options.
