Ontario Flooring Installation Costs
Flooring installation costs in Ontario range from $3.00–$18.00 per square foot installed (material + labour). Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is the most popular choice in Ontario homes — it's waterproof, durable, comfortable, and costs $5.50–$8.00/sq ft installed. Solid hardwood is the premium choice at $12–$18/sq ft but adds the most long-term value and can be refinished multiple times.
Labour vs Material Split
On average, labour accounts for 35–45% of flooring installation costs in Ontario. Complex patterns (herringbone, chevron), staple-down hardwood, and large-format tile all require more labour and increase costs. Floating floor systems (LVP, laminate, engineered hardwood) are faster to install and lower cost in labour.
