How a commercial job gets planned

The floor is the easy part. The plan around it is what keeps a business open.

Phased by zone

We lift and lay one area at a time so desks, files and equipment move once rather than twice.

After-hours scheduling

Evening and weekend installs typically carry a 20 to 40 percent premium on the work, and they are often cheaper than closing the floor during business hours.

Hamilton's noise hours

The city's noise by-law treats construction between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. as an exempt period and prohibits construction noise clearly audible between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Board and property-manager paperwork

Most Ontario condominium corporations want a written proposal covering the work, materials, dates and proof of liability and workers' compensation coverage before a floor changes.

Elevator and common-area protection

Buildings usually ask for the service elevator to be booked and lobbies and corridors protected, often against a refundable deposit.

Our Process

How an occupied floor gets changed

Walk it while it is in use

We measure with the space working, so we see the traffic lanes, the door swings and the furniture that actually has to move.

Agree the phases and the hours

Zones, dates and access get written down, along with who moves what and when the elevator is booked.

Lift, prep and lay one zone

Old floor out, subfloor made flat and clean, new broadloom stretched or glued down within the same shift wherever the zone size allows.

Hand the zone back

Furniture returns, transitions go in at the doorways and the area is usable before staff arrive.

Commercial installs across Hamilton

Broadloom built for daily commercial traffic

Offices, clinics, churches and the common areas of residential buildings across Hamilton take a different kind of wear than a bedroom floor does: wheeled chairs, trolleys, salted winter boots and a vacuum five days a week. We fit a low-pile, tight-twist commercial broadloom over the right backing so it keeps its look in a traffic lane instead of flattening within a season.

Every job is phased by zone and scheduled around the hours a business can give us, whether that floor is downtown or out toward the airport corridor.

Almost every commercial job here is really a scheduling job. We break the floor into zones that can each be cleared for one shift, work around Hamilton's noise by-law, and put the building's own paperwork requirements in writing before anything is lifted. What that looks like in hours, premiums and rules is set out below.

Getting a figure

Commercial broadloom in this market generally runs $4 to $8 per square foot with material and labour, before HST, with subfloor preparation and after-hours scheduling priced separately. Call (289) 204-6246 with the floor area and the hours available, and we will walk the space before we put a number on it.

Questions from property and office managers

Can you work while the office stays open?

Yes, by zone. We take an area that can be cleared for a shift, finish it, and hand it back before the next one starts. Large open floors are usually split into three or four phases.

How much does commercial broadloom cost per square foot in Hamilton?

Commercial broadloom generally runs $4 to $8 per square foot with material and labour together, before HST. Subfloor preparation, after-hours scheduling and heavy furniture moving are quoted as separate lines.

How late can an evening install run?

Hamilton’s noise by-law exempts construction between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. and prohibits construction noise that is clearly audible from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Interior work in an occupied building is normally planned around those hours and around whatever the lease says.

What does a condominium board need from us?

Typically a written proposal describing the work, the materials, the installers and the dates, plus evidence of liability and workers’ compensation coverage. Boards also tend to restrict the work to weekday business hours.

Do you handle the old commercial carpet?

We tear it out, roll it and take it with us, and the disposal is written into the scope rather than assumed. Glued-down broadloom takes far longer to lift than a stretched-in floor, so it is priced as its own line.

Built for commercial traffic

Built for daily wear

Commercial carpet has to take wheeled chairs, trolleys, salted winter boots and a vacuum five days a week.

Installed without closing the business

We fit broadloom in offices, medical and dental suites, churches, halls, and the corridors and lobbies of residential buildings, on a schedule that keeps the space working.

Density beats plushness

A low-pile, tight-twist commercial broadloom over the right backing keeps its look in a traffic lane where a soft residential carpet would flatten within a season.
