What shapes flooring work in Scarborough?
Split-level homes make flooring interesting. A backsplit can have four floor levels in one house, each with its own short flight of stairs, and every change of level is a transition detail and a decision about whether the flooring should carry through or change. Sunken living rooms, common in this era, add a step that often needs a hardwood nosing built rather than bought. The ceramic entry and hallway tile that was standard in these houses is frequently the first thing owners want gone, and removing it properly means dealing with whatever mortar bed or plywood underlayment it was set on, not just the tile. There is also a large stock of finished basements and secondary suites here, where the slab needs testing before anything is chosen, and where a durable, replaceable plank floor is worth more than a premium finish.
Backsplits and sidesplits
Several short flights and level changes. Each one is a transition, a nosing detail and a decision about whether the material continues.
Ceramic entries and halls
Old tile often sits on a thick mortar bed or a plywood underlayment. Removal, height correction at the door and disposal all belong in the quote.
Finished basements and suites
Slab testing first. Vinyl plank and tile handle below-grade conditions, and both survive tenant turnover better than laminate or carpet.
