Hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, tile, and heated floors — installed correctly the first time.
Every flooring installation at Symmetrical Flooring is done by the owner — not a subcontractor, not a crew sent on your behalf. That means the person who quoted your job is the same person who shows up with a truck, proper equipment, and the expertise to do it right. From subfloor preparation to the final threshold strip, nothing gets handed off.
We work across Ottawa and Orléans with professional-grade tools including a PIKUS bridge saw for precision tile cuts and HEPA dust extraction to keep your home clean during the install. Whether you're updating a single room or a whole house, every job gets the same attention to detail.
Solid and engineered hardwood add warmth, character, and long-term value to any home. We install nail-down, glue-down, and floating hardwood systems with proper acclimatization and subfloor prep. Hardwood rewards a careful installer — gaps, cupping, and squeaks all come from shortcuts we don't take.
LVP is the most popular flooring choice in Ottawa right now, and for good reason — it's 100% waterproof, durable, and available in realistic wood and stone looks. Proper installation requires a flat, clean subfloor; LVP telegraphs every imperfection beneath it. We take subfloor prep seriously so your floor looks and performs the way it should for years.
Tile installation done right is a technical trade. We work with porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone tile in all formats — from mosaic accents to large-format 900×1800 mm slabs. Our PIKUS bridge saw allows precise outline cuts, corner cuts, and mitered 45° edges that a standard wet saw cannot produce cleanly.
We are Mapei Certified for radiant heat installation and work with Schluter DITRA-HEAT systems. Heated floors can be installed under tile, LVP, and some hardwood products. If you're already doing a renovation, roughing in a heated floor at the same time is the smartest and most cost-effective approach.
The single most important step in any flooring installation is what happens before the first plank or tile goes down. A subfloor must be flat, structurally sound, clean, and dry — every flooring type depends on it. We check for deflection, high spots, and moisture before we start, and we use self-leveling compounds, shims, or additional blocking where needed. Skipping this step is the most common reason floors fail prematurely, and it's a step we never skip.
We use a PIKUS bridge saw — a fixed-rail wet saw designed for precision tile cuts. This is the same class of tool used in tile showrooms and fabrication shops. It allows us to make L-cuts, corner notches, and mitered edges with accuracy that a hand-held angle grinder or consumer wet saw cannot match. We also use HEPA dust extraction on all cutting and grinding, which keeps fine silica dust out of your home and meets occupational health standards. Learn more about our equipment and certifications.
We visit your space, assess the subfloor, discuss your material preferences, and provide a written quote. No pressure, no guessing.
We'll guide you on product selection based on your lifestyle, subfloor conditions, and budget — whether you're shopping independently or want recommendations.
Owner on site, proper equipment, clean job site. Subfloor prep first, then installation, then transitions and trim details.
We walk the finished floor with you, review care instructions, and make sure you're completely satisfied before we pack up.

Timeline depends on the type of flooring and square footage. A single-room LVP install is typically one day. Tile work takes longer due to mortar cure time — a bathroom floor or kitchen may take two to three days from prep through grouting. We'll give you a realistic timeline during the quote.
Yes. We offer demo and removal of existing flooring as part of the project scope. Once the old floor is out, we assess the subfloor condition and address any issues before the new install begins.
We serve Ottawa and Orléans as our primary service area, and also regularly work in Kanata, Barrhaven, Gloucester, Nepean, Rockland, Cumberland, Avalon, Fallingbrook, Chapel Hill, Convent Glen, Beacon Hill, Blackburn Hamlet, and Vanier.
Yes, with some product-specific considerations. Many LVP products are compatible with radiant heat systems up to a certain temperature — we verify compatibility before installation. For hardwood, engineered hardwood is generally better suited to heated subfloors than solid hardwood. We are Mapei Certified for radiant heat installation and use Schluter DITRA-HEAT systems.
