JD Flooring gets the same questions from North Bay and Muskoka homeowners every week, about quotes, flooring types, the subfloor, and how Joey works. Here are straight answers. If yours is not here, call or text 705-492-8461.
JD Flooring is a one-person specialist operation, and that shapes everything from who shows up at your door to how the work is backed.
Joey does, personally. JD Flooring is install-only with no rotating crews or subcontractors, so the person who quotes your floor is the same person who lays it. When you hire JD Flooring, you get Joey and his 32 years on the tools.
You choose and buy your own flooring from any supplier at your own price, with no showroom markup, and Joey installs it properly. He supplies the consumables the job needs, such as levelling compound, underlay, adhesive and fasteners.
Joey has 32 years on the tools and took over the family flooring business in 2010. Most new work still comes from repeat customers and referrals around North Bay.
No. JD Flooring is a flooring installation specialist. A general contractor lays a floor and moves to the next trade, while Joey only does flooring, so he sees what a room actually needs before anything goes down.
Joey backs his installation workmanship with a one-year warranty, provided the job is done to the specification he recommends, such as the required subfloor levelling. The warranty covers the installation labour, not the material, which carries its own manufacturer warranty.
Every JD Flooring quote is free, complete and up front. Here is how the pricing works and the fastest way to get yours.
Yes. JD Flooring quotes are free and complete, with no call-out fee. Joey checks the subfloor, measures, and gives you an honest number with no games.
Flooring is priced by the square foot, and the labour depends on the material, the condition of the subfloor, and how much prep or levelling the space needs. Because JD Flooring is install-only, you pay for the labour and consumables, and you buy the flooring itself.
Call or text Joey at 705-492-8461, or use the form on the contact page. Sending a few photos and the rough square footage of the rooms helps him give you a faster, more accurate number.
You buy it. JD Flooring is install-only, so you pick and purchase your own flooring at your own price. Joey installs it and supplies the levelling compound, underlay, adhesive and fasteners.
Joey installs every common floor and matches the product to the room, the moisture in the space and how you actually live in it.
Hardwood, vinyl plank, laminate, ceramic and tile, and carpet, plus stairs, custom showers, and linoleum and sheet goods. If it is a floor, Joey has almost certainly installed it.
For basements, bathrooms and other areas that see moisture, waterproof vinyl plank or tile is usually the smart choice because it handles damp and spills. Joey will walk the space and recommend the floor that will still look right in five years.
Vinyl plank is fully waterproof, which makes it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and basements. Laminate is water-resistant, not waterproof, and is better suited to dry living rooms, bedrooms and hallways.
Yes. Waterproof click-lock and rigid-core (SPC) vinyl plank, plus properly set tile, are all fully waterproof options Joey installs regularly.
A finished floor is only as good as the subfloor under it, and that prep is where a flooring specialist earns his keep.
The subfloor decides whether a floor lasts. Thin floating floors telegraph every dip, and a floor laid over an unlevel or shifting base will cup, gap or squeak within a year. Joey checks the subfloor for flatness, moisture and movement before anything goes down.
Yes, when the floor needs it. Levelling and securing the subfloor first is exactly the step a general contractor tends to skip, and it is the difference between a floor that lasts and one that fails.
Yes. A lot of Joey's Muskoka and lake-country work is on cottages. He matches the floor to whether the place is heated year-round, and installs products that handle the humidity and temperature swings a closed-up cottage goes through.
JD Flooring is a service-area business based in North Bay that brings the work to you across the region and into Muskoka cottage country.
JD Flooring covers North Bay and roughly 100 kilometres around it, from Callander, Powassan, Sturgeon Falls and Mattawa to the Muskoka cottage towns of Huntsville, Bracebridge and Gravenhurst.
No surprise fees. If a job is far enough out that travel is a factor, Joey builds it into the quote up front, so the number you get is the number you pay.
Probably. The service area is a radius, not a fixed list. Call or text 705-492-8461 with your location and Joey will tell you straight whether he can help.
One last thing, because people always ask.
Often, yes. The Boss, Joey's dog, rides along to quotes and keeps an eye on things. He stays clear of the work and out of your way, and Joey is happy to leave him in the van if you would prefer. Meet him on the about page.
Ask Joey directly. Free, honest answers from a North Bay specialist with 32 years on the tools.
