💬What People Actually Paid
Community❓Common Questions
Calgary's dry climate and Chinook humidity swings require solid hardwood to acclimate on-site for at least 14 days before installation. Local contractors often charge $8–$15 per sq ft for engineered hardwood, which is more stable in this environment.
Stair installation is priced per step rather than by square foot. In 2026, expect to pay $40–$80 per stair for LVP or carpet, and $80–$150 per stair for hardwood, including the nosing and riser.
Professional demolition and disposal typically add $1.00 to $2.50 per sq ft to the project. Carpet is the cheapest to remove (~$1.00/sq ft), while glued-down tile or hardwood is the most labor-intensive.
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) remains the dominant choice, with fully installed costs ranging from $4 to $12 per sq ft. It is preferred for Calgary basements due to its moisture resistance and durability against winter salt and snow.
