Hardwood Kitchen Floors

kitchen renovation Oakville Hardwood flooring feels very pleasant underfoot. Hardwood is a comfortable and inviting option if you want kitchen flooring that matches other rooms in your home. Hardwood is either solid or a veneer and used to be considered gauche for kitchens and bathrooms because of moisture and humidity. This problem has mainly been solved thanks to modern sealers. Hardwood is durable and easy to clean, but over time will show marks and dents. You can always sand these down, and hardwood has excellent resale value.

Luxurious Stone Floorings

Because of its porous nature, stone flooring should be sealed upon installation and twice yearly. Stone is timeless and classic looking, which adds an element of simplicity and luxury. There are a few beautiful stone options, including marble, limestone, and sandstone. Reach out to our Rose Building Group team to learn more about each type of stone. This kind of flooring also has a great resale value.

Durable Vinyl Kitchen Floors

Simple and budget-friendly, vinyl is a popular option for the DIY-inclined. Various styles and designs are available in vinyl; all are stain- and waterproof, making them very durable. Vinyl flooring feels slightly soft underfoot, making it great for long cooking stints with lots of standing. It wears and fades with lots of use, so be prepared to replace your vinyl flooring every ten years.

Long-Lasting Ceramic Floors

Ceramic is good-looking and durable. So durable that it can last indefinitely in the right conditions. Resistance to both heat and breakage makes ceramic a durability champion. Ceramic tiles come in a wide range of colours and patterns, so your style can shine. It can be cold and hard underfoot, so you might need socks or slippers, especially in the winter.

Sustainable Cork Floors

Resilient and waterproof are two of the reasons customers will choose cork flooring. Cork is a sustainable material made of tree bark and is environmentally friendly. It will come pre-finished but must be resealed every two to three years to prevent stains and scratches. Cork comes in tiles or planks in an array of patterns and colours.

Classic Linoleum Floors

Linoleum is making a big comeback, being both inexpensive and easy to clean. It stands up well to foot traffic and is quite durable. Linoleum is moisture-resistant but can stain easily unless a protective cover is applied. Linoleum is also a green choice made from linseed oil and cork powder. It can last for decades and is gaining modern appeal.

Whatever flooring material you choose, the home renovation contractors Rose Building Group is here to help you transform your space.

Matthew and his team at Rose Building Group have completed 2 projects for us. A couple of years ago we completed a main floor renovation, which included a complete kitchen reno. Just recently we completed a master bathroom renovation. The work for both projects was impeccable. Really high quality workmanship, and incredible attention to detail.

The quality of the work is truly second to none. What impresses me the most about this company, however, is the people. They are all kind, warm, genuine, and professional. I enjoyed having them in my home, and was very comfortable. It is clear that they are committed to delivering a very high level of customer service and satisfaction through both the work they do, and they way they engage with the client. It's really impressive.

We recently completed our home renovation with Rose Building Group, which included a full renovation of both the interior and exterior of our house. We feel that we could not have picked a better company to do this extensive project. When Matt first came to our house to give us a quote we could tell instantly the professionalism and attention to detail he has when looking at a project. Throughout the entire renovation, Matt was easy to get in touch with, either by phone or email, which made it less daunting on my Wife and I whenever we had questions or wanted to add something. Matt was always upfront whenever issues arose (this was bound to happen during a full renovation of an old house) and always came prepared with possible solutions for us.

His staff always presented themselves as professionals. They were very respectful when speaking to us, and with taking care of our property by cleaning up the interior and exterior before going home every night. We even had neighbours on our street comment on how well our place looked, even during the construction. It was obvious that they are a very hardworking company, dedicated to ensuring a smooth and timely renovation. Rose building group was on schedule, and completed our project by the date discussed by Matt, prior to them beginning.

If you are looking to complete a renovation of your home, rest assured that if you choose Rose Building Group, that you will not be disappointed. You will have a professional company, that will make your home beautiful!

We decided on Rose Building Group for our main floor renovation that started earlier this year. We have nothing but great things to say about RBG and the team.

At the beginning of the renovation we were provided with a renovation schedule so that we knew what would be happening on each day and we were most impressed at the adherence to this schedule. We were also provided a Scope of Work at the beginning of the project and any changes made along the way were clearly outlined.

Their communication during the renovation process was top notch and someone always got back to us very quickly.

Matthew, Settle and entire team were so professional and Alisha, the selections coordinator, was especially helpful and went out of her way to help with some of the finishing choices.

Other than a few things that were delayed beyond their control, this renovation was completed in a very timely manner and is absolutely beautiful. They made our vision come to fruition and we hope to use them again when we are ready to renovate our main bathroom. They made the process of doing a major renovation relatively low stress and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to do a major renovation.

Great job RBG- you were all awesome!

Matthew and his team were amazing to work with. They recently completed a full basement renovation for my personal home. I work for Baudit Interior design and have worked with several contractors and was very impressed with their professionalism, correspondence, organization and can do attitude. The whole crew worked efficiently and diligently. They were kind, respectful of us and our home and kept a very tidy work space. The quality of the workmanship and attention to detail was impressive. I would and have recommended them for any future projects.

Matt has a great company with a team of highly skilled craftsmen. We originally contemplated a bathroom renovation project and expanded the scope to include new staircase, hardwood flooring, crown moulding, recessed led lighting throughout and painting top to bottom. Matt’s experience was extremely helpful in that he was able to guide us in making the right choices upfront to help modernize the look of our home. His detailed approach and project management thru his team ensured we got the results we were looking for and the highest quality or workmanship and finish. We are extremely happy with the results and feel like we are in a brand new home but better. Definitely a company to talk to about renovations.

Additionally, Matt and his team adhered to all COVID protocols at all times which was very reassuring given the scope of the project with most of the work over eight weeks occurring during the third wave while we continued to live and work from our home.
