What to know about Laminate flooring
Laminate flooring is a floating floor made of rigid planks: a printed wood or stone image under a clear, hard wear layer, all on a core of high-density fibreboard. The planks lock together along their edges and rest on an underlay instead of being nailed or glued to the subfloor, which makes installation quick and suits many rooms, from bedrooms and living rooms to finished basements.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Floor area and the number of rooms
- Type and grade of flooring
- Removal of the existing floor
- Subfloor repairs or levelling
- Stairs, angles and custom cuts
- Trim, transitions and baseboards
How to choose flooring contractors in Thunder Bay
- Choose an installer who works regularly with the type of flooring you want, since hardwood, tile, vinyl and carpet each need different skills.
- Ask them to check the subfloor and moisture levels before giving a final price.
- Get a written quote that covers removal of the old floor, subfloor prep, underlay, trim and transitions.
- Ask whether you or the installer will supply the flooring, and who is responsible for ordering extra for waste.
- Look at recent work in person or in photos, paying attention to seams, edges and transitions.
Questions to ask flooring contractors before you hire
- Will you remove and dispose of the old flooring?
- How will you check and prepare the subfloor?
- Is my space suitable for this type of flooring, especially in a basement, kitchen or bathroom?
- Are baseboards, transitions and stair nosings included?
- Will you move the furniture and appliances, or should I?
- Does your workmanship warranty cover problems like lifting, gaps or cracked tiles?
Laminate flooring permits in Ontario
Some laminate flooring work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Common laminate flooring questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
