For 2026, hardwood installation in Toronto typically ranges from $11 to $25 per square foot all-in. Solid hardwood averages $14-$25, while engineered hardwood is slightly more affordable at $9-$17 per square foot.
Stair installation is quoted per step rather than by square foot. In Toronto, expect to pay between $90 and $150 per step for laminate or vinyl, and $200 to $350 per step for hardwood, including materials and labor.
No, removal is typically a separate line item. Contractors in the GTA charge between $0.80 and $1.50 per square foot for the demolition and disposal of old carpet or floating floors, and up to $3.00 per square foot for glued-down hardwood.
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) and Laminate remain the most cost-effective, with total installed costs ranging from $4.00 to $9.00 per square foot. These options are popular in Toronto condos and basements due to their moisture resistance.
If your subfloor is uneven, leveling compounds or skim coating can add $1.25 to $4.00 per square foot to your project total, depending on the severity of the dips and the material used.
