What to Verify Before Hiring

Before signing a contract with any hardwood renovation Richmond Hill, homeowners should confirm the following:

·         WSIB coverage and liability insurance — Ask for certificates. Without WSIB clearance, you may be held liable for workplace injuries on your property.

·         Written, itemized quotes — Ensure the quote specifies whether it includes removal and disposal of old flooring, subfloor preparation, and trim reinstallation.

·         References from recent Richmond Hill projects — Ask for contacts from hardwood installations or refinishing completed within the last 6–12 months.

·         The 10-day cooling-off period — Under Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, contracts over $50 signed in your home come with a 10-day right to cancel.

Hardwood refinishing in the Toronto area typically costs $3 to $5 per square foot for a standard sand-and-refinish, while installation ranges from $4.50 to $15 per square foot depending on wood species and complexity. A contractor quoting significantly below these ranges may be cutting corners on subfloor preparation or using lower-grade finishes.

Richmond Hill's older homes in Mill Pond and Crosby frequently have original hardwood worth preserving rather than replacing. The ten contractors listed here have each demonstrated verifiable customer satisfaction in the Richmond Hill area. Homeowners should contact at least two or three for quotes and references before making a final decision.
