Best flooring for Ontario basements?

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) is the top choice for Ontario basements due to 100% waterproof construction — critical in a province where basement flooding and humidity are common concerns. Engineered hardwood is acceptable if the basement is well-controlled. Never use solid hardwood below grade in Ontario. (Serving Brampton, Ontario.)

How to install flooring — should you DIY?

LVP and laminate are DIY-friendly click-lock systems that experienced homeowners can install themselves, saving $1.50–$3.00/sqft in labour. Tile, hardwood, and anything requiring subfloor work is best left to professionals — improper installation causes warping, cracking, and voids manufacturer warranties. (Serving Brampton, Ontario.)
