Hayley's keen sense of style with Rob's unbelievable knowledge and experience make this the only place in Barrie to go to for floors. I shopped around and there is a lot to know when choosing floors which is an investment, so you want to do it right.

Had a great experience with Grand Floors! Friendly and polite staff helped us the entire way from choosing our floor type and style to the completed installation. The work was impeccable and completed ahead of schedule to boot! Pricing was competitive and there is something to be said about the simplicity of having one company that handles everything for you from quotes, to materials, to installation. Were great to work with and look forward to future projects!

My husband and I can't say how much we appreciate the hard work and attention to detail from the office staff to the sales people to the installers we were provided. Slavik and his crew were amazing and D was meticulous in every detail to complete the stair transformation. All we can say is WOW and thanks to Diana for her hard work of coordinating every detail. Well done and look forward to many years with my beautiful hard work floors.
