Vintage Flooring completed three separate projects for us this past year. Our hardwood floors were sanded and re-finished in May 2021. Corbel brackets and speaker shelves were custom built in their on-site wood shop. Ceramic tile flooring with Schluter in-floor heating system was installed in our two bathrooms in January 2022. The projects were completed on time and on budget. All of the contractors were top notch and we were very satisfied with the process and the finished product. Thank you to the Vintage team!

Wow what a fantastic experience and the most beautiful craftsmanship!!! During my partners new home build. There was a great discussion about what type of flooring to install. My past experience with wood flooring was less than satisfactory due to several reasons, quality of finish, durability of engineered wood, to the gaps and cracks that pre-finished flooring allows for dirt to deposit. I suggested a maple finish in place . The floor is absolutely outstanding . I cannot say enough about the care and quality of the work that was done. I have over 30 years of general contracting experience

We would very quickly recommend Darrell and his team at Vintage flooring. We were putting new hardwood in our kitchen and he had to try and match what we had in the rest of our main floor. He was able to source same size and colour. Workmanship was fantastic and job was completed in a timely manner. Overall very happy!

We recently had our stairs refinished, new railing installed, as well as installation of new hardwood and refinishing of existing hardwood on main level. Everyone was great to deal with from start to finish. The installers were professional and experienced. There was excellent communication throughout the process. We would use them again and recommend to others.

Darrell and the fellas at Vintage Flooring resurfaced our hardwood floors and did an amazing job! Highly recommended. They were fast and accommodating but made no sacrifice on the quality of work.
