Porcelain tile is denser, harder, and more water-resistant than ceramic — making it ideal for high-traffic areas and wet spaces. Ceramic tile is more affordable and easier to cut, great for walls and lighter-use floors. RenoHouse installs both across Vaughan.

Yes, RenoHouse installs electric radiant heating systems under tile flooring. Heated tile floors are especially popular in Vaughan bathrooms and kitchens for comfort during cold winter months. The heating system adds minimal height to the floor.

A typical bathroom floor takes 1-2 days, a kitchen floor 2-3 days, and a full-home tile installation 5-10 days depending on size and complexity. This includes subfloor prep, waterproofing, tile setting, and grouting.

Absolutely. Waterproofing under bathroom tile prevents moisture from reaching the subfloor, which can cause rot, mold, and structural damage. RenoHouse uses premium waterproofing membranes like Schluter DITRA on every wet-area tile installation.

We install all tile patterns including straight lay, diagonal, herringbone, basketweave, running bond, pinwheel, and custom designs. Our installers have experience with large-format tiles, mosaics, and intricate natural stone patterns.

In some cases, tile can be installed over existing tile or vinyl if the surface is flat and structurally sound. However, we often recommend removing old flooring for the best results. RenoHouse will assess your situation during the free estimate.

Tile floors are low-maintenance — regular sweeping and mopping keep them looking great. We recommend resealing grout lines every 1-2 years to prevent staining. Natural stone tiles may need periodic sealing as well. RenoHouse provides care instructions after every installation.

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and engineered hardwood are the top choices for replacing builder carpet. LVP offers waterproof durability and easy maintenance ($3–$7/sq ft installed), while engineered hardwood provides a premium look ($7–$12/sq ft installed). Both work well with the open-concept layouts common in newer homes.

Yes — newer homes typically have OSB or plywood subfloors that are ideal for hardwood installation. We check for levelness and moisture content before installation. Engineered hardwood can be glued or floated, while solid hardwood is typically nailed down for the most stable, squeak-free result.

Open-concept homes benefit from continuous flooring throughout living areas — it makes spaces feel larger and creates visual flow. We recommend a single material from the front entrance through kitchen, dining, and living areas, with transitions only at bedrooms and bathrooms.
