Our Clients

I had an amazing experience with Westboro on both our carpet install and flooring supply. Sara and Heather from the design studio made the process so smooth. Thank you to all the staff at Westboro for making our experience so effortless.

Westboro Flooring Client

I recently hired Westboro flooring for the second time. The first project years ago involved removing parkay flooring and installing hardwood flooring on two floors of home; they did a fabulous job. This last winter they refinished hardwood flooring on the main level of my new house and I was very satisfied with the results. I recommend them highly for their quality workmanship and professionalism.

I was given a window of 7 to 11 to begin the installation and the brothers showed up at 0745 to begin work...stairs, hallway and bedroom. They were finished shortly after 1200 and I was able to put most things back in place shortly afterwards. The men were very efficient, pleasant and did a beautiful job. I am thrilled with the finished product and would highly recommend Westboro.

From start to closing Andy helped us choose the right stair carpeting and basement luxury vinyl to suit our needs and budget. Westboro Flooring was our first choice for service 20 years ago, today and into the future.

Robert H.

Had a fantastic experience with Lynn & Amanda and all that I interacted with at Westboro Flooring who got me a steal of a deal on fantastic luxury vinyl tiles. Nearly got taken by another flooring outfit in town who tried to sell me a far less superior product at a much higher price. The delivery lads even brought the very heavy product on a very cold day up to a 2nd floor unit. Thanks again & I'll be back!

Hardwood Flooring FAQ's

Answers at your fingertips

Your questions answered. Navigate through our FAQs for insights on selection, care, and more.

What are the differences between solid and engineered hardwood flooring?

Solid hardwood flooring is crafted from a single piece of wood and offers unmatched durability, ideal for long-term use in Ottawa homes. Engineered hardwood flooring, on the other hand, features a top hardwood veneer over layers of plywood, making it more resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations—especially important in Ottawa’s seasonal climate. Both options are elegant, but engineered hardwood is often preferred for basements and areas with in-floor heating.

Can hardwood flooring be installed in kitchens or bathrooms?

While traditional hardwood floorboards add timeless beauty to any space, they aren’t ideal for full bathrooms due to moisture concerns. However, engineered hardwood flooring can be safely used in kitchens with proper sealing and maintenance. For Ottawa homeowners seeking warmth and elegance in moisture-prone areas, hardwood flooring is still a viable option when cared for properly.

How do I maintain and clean my hardwood floors?

To keep your hardwood floors in excellent condition, sweep or vacuum regularly to remove grit and debris. Use a hardwood floor cleaner and a damp (not wet) mop—avoid steam cleaning or excessive water. In Ottawa’s winter months, using entryway mats can prevent salt and snow from damaging your hardwood flooring finish.

How long does hardwood flooring typically last?

Solid hardwood flooring can last over 50 years with proper care, while engineered hardwood flooring typically lasts 20–30 years depending on the veneer thickness. In Ottawa, hardwood’s longevity makes it a great long-term investment, especially when professionally installed and maintained.

Can hardwood floors be refinished?

One of the biggest advantages of solid hardwood flooring is the ability to sand and refinish it multiple times. Engineered hardwood flooring can also be refinished, though only once or twice depending on the thickness of the top layer. Refinishing restores the look of your Ottawa hardwood floors and increases their lifespan dramatically.
