Licensed renovation contractors serving St. Thomas and the surrounding Elgin County. Expert craftsmanship, free quotes, zero obligation.
New flooring is one of the most impactful renovation investments you can make — transforming the aesthetic of your entire home while improving durability and enhancing property value. London Renovation Experts installs a comprehensive range of flooring materials across St. Thomas and the Elgin County, bringing technical expertise and meticulous attention to detail to every installation.
Hardwood flooring remains one of the most sought-after features in St. Thomas homes. We install solid hardwood and engineered hardwood in a full range of species — white oak, red oak, maple, hickory, walnut, ash, and more — including sanding, staining, and finishing. For homes with radiant in-floor heating, we recommend engineered hardwood specifically manufactured for those conditions.
Modern LVP products authentically replicate hardwood or stone tile while offering superior moisture resistance and durability — ideal for basements, kitchens, and mudrooms. For tile flooring, we install all formats from classic 12×12 to large-format 24×48 porcelain slabs, with heated tile available for bathrooms and other areas.
Many St. Thomas homes have beautiful original hardwood beneath dated finishes. Our dustless sanding equipment restores these floors to like-new condition — often at a fraction of the cost of replacement. We also offer custom staining to update the colour to match your current interior design.
We serve all St. Thomas neighbourhoods including Downtown St. Thomas, Elgin Mall Area, Dalewood, Orchard Park, Mitchell Hepburn, and all surrounding areas.
London Renovation Experts installs all flooring types throughout Elgin County — engineered hardwood, solid hardwood, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), large-format porcelain and ceramic tile, natural stone, laminate, and carpet. Our in-house flooring crew is skilled across all product types and installation methods. We pay meticulous attention to subfloor preparation, acclimatization, expansion gaps, and transitions — the details that separate a professional installation from an amateur one.
The most requested flooring products across St. Thomas right now are wide-plank engineered hardwood for main living areas, large-format porcelain tile for bathrooms and kitchens, and luxury vinyl plank for basements and high-traffic spaces. LVP in particular has become the most popular flooring choice in Elgin County for its 100% waterproof performance, realistic wood appearance, and durability under heavy use — at a significantly lower price point than solid hardwood.
Proper subfloor preparation is the single most important step in any flooring installation in St. Thomas. Our crew inspects and prepares every subfloor before installation — levelling, patching, sanding high spots, and securing squeaky areas. A perfectly flat and secure subfloor prevents premature wear, movement, and gapping in finished flooring. We never skip this step regardless of the product being installed or the timeline pressure.
For main living areas in St. Thomas, engineered hardwood offers the best combination of beauty and performance. For high-traffic areas, kitchens, and basements, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is our top recommendation — 100% waterproof, durable, and available in styles that closely mimic real hardwood. For bathrooms, large-format porcelain tile is the gold standard for longevity and aesthetics.
In some cases yes — LVP and laminate can be installed as floating floors over most existing hard surfaces in good condition. However, we always inspect the existing floor and subfloor first. Adding height can create transition challenges at doorways and with appliances. We advise you honestly on whether removal is recommended for your specific situation in St. Thomas.
A typical main floor (800–1,200 sq ft) takes 2–4 days for hardwood or LVP installation. Tile work takes longer due to setting and curing time — typically 4–7 days for a similar area. Full-home flooring projects are generally completed within 1–2 weeks. You receive an exact timeline in your written quote.
