By SecuReno — flooring company Kanata homeowners call whether the problem is a 1980s subfloor, worn builder-grade laminate, or an unfinished basement. If your floor is on your list — because it's original to the house, because a winter dried it out and it's gapping, or because a basement finish never got past subfloor — SecuReno is the flooring installer handling that work in Kanata: hardwood, engineered hardwood, laminate, vinyl plank, and tile, from tear-out to finished install.
At SecuReno, we deliver expert renovation services for kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and custom finishing. Every project is tailored to your home, your budget, and your specific renovation needs. From cabinet and countertop upgrades to tile work and room refreshes, our team of skilled craftsmen delivers quality workmanship to create spaces built to last.
Kanata isn't one flooring market — it's three. Homes in Beaverbrook and Katimavik (1970s–80s) usually need subfloor leveling before any refinish holds. Bridlewood, Kanata Lakes, and Glen Cairn (1990s–2000s) are hitting the end of their original builder-grade laminate, especially where seams meet exterior patio doors. Kanata South's newer builds often shipped with entry-level vinyl or laminate that wears fast in high-traffic paths — kitchen to garage, front hall to living room. And every era faces the same dry-winter hardwood gapping Ottawa-area homes get once forced-air heat kicks in each January.
On-Time, On-Budget Builds
Honest, Transparent Communication
Premium Craftsmanship & Materials
Solid and engineered hardwood installed with the expansion gaps Ottawa's dry winters require.
For hardwood that's still got life left — restore worn boards instead of replacing flooring that can be saved.
A durable choice for high-traffic areas and basements where moisture can be a factor.
Replacing worn, swollen, or delaminating builder-grade laminate common in 1990s and 2000s Kanata homes.
A harder-wearing surface for kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and other areas that take daily abuse.
A practical choice for stairs and bedrooms when a softer, warmer flooring material makes sense.
Leveling and repairing the surface before new flooring goes down — especially important in older Kanata subdivisions.
Moisture-tolerant flooring built for concrete-slab basements, rather than carpet that may not hold up below grade.
Floor creaks in the same three spots every time — a subfloor issue, not surface.
Laminate seams delaminating near the kitchen or a patio door.
Hardwood gaps that show up every winter and close by summer.
Vinyl or laminate already looking worn despite a newer home.
Basement finish that never got past subfloor.
We walk through the space, assess the existing flooring and subfloor, and give you the number before you commit to anything.
We remove the old flooring, carpet, or damaged subfloor material and handle the disposal so you're not left dealing with the mess.
Before anything new goes down, we address uneven or damaged areas so the finished flooring has the stable, level surface it needs.
We install your chosen hardwood, laminate, vinyl, or tile according to the material's requirements and the conditions in your home.
We finish the details with transitions, trim, and room-to-room changes so the entire installation looks intentional and complete.
Get answers to frequently asked questions below.
Seasonal movement is normal for floating floors, but seams that worsen yearly usually mean the expansion gap was too tight or moisture is getting underneath — both fixable. Send a photo and we can often tell which.
Matching species and stain is possible but depends on your floor's age and finish — sun-faded boards are hardest to match exactly. We bring a sample before quoting.
After. Flooring goes in last so it doesn't get damaged during the rest of the build. Planning the whole basement? We can just handle the floor on your timeline.
Tear-out through finished install typically runs a few days for an average main floor, with subfloor issues being the main thing that adds time. You'll get a real number at quote time.
Yes — this comes up constantly in older Kanata neighborhoods. We check and correct subfloor level as part of the job, not as a surprise add-on later.
In Ottawa, renovation cost depends on the room, the size of the space, the materials you choose and whether plumbing, electrical or structural work is involved. A single-room refresh costs far less than a full-home project. SecuReno provides a written, line-item estimate before any work starts, so you know exactly what you are paying for and can adjust the scope to fit your budget.
Generally, yes for structural changes, new plumbing, moving walls or adding a bathroom, and no for cosmetic work like flooring, painting or replacing cabinets in the same layout. The City of Ottawa issues building permits under the Ontario Building Code. We tell you upfront whether your project needs one and handle the application as part of the job.
SecuReno works as the general contractor on your project. We plan the job, schedule the work and coordinate any licensed trades the project needs, such as an ESA-licensed electrician for wiring, so you deal with one team and one point of contact from the first quote to the final walkthrough.
Most bathroom renovations take two to four weeks, kitchens three to six weeks, and flooring one to three days per room. Basements and whole-home projects take longer. Material lead times, permits and surprises behind the walls are the usual reasons a schedule moves, and we flag those as early as possible so you can plan around them.
Usually, yes. For a bathroom, kitchen or flooring project we seal off the work area, protect your floors and clean up daily so the rest of the house stays livable. For whole-home renovations we plan the work in phases so you always have a usable kitchen and bathroom.
The City of Ottawa noise by-law limits construction noise to daytime hours, generally 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays with later starts on Sundays and holidays. We schedule within those hours and let your neighbours know before noisy work like demolition begins, which keeps everyone on good terms.
Yes. Condo renovations come with extra rules: building approvals, elevator bookings, working hours and noise limits set by the condo board. We have worked within those requirements before and coordinate with property management so the project stays on schedule and your neighbours stay happy.
Ask for two documents: a certificate of liability insurance and a WSIB clearance certificate, which shows the crew is covered for workplace injuries in Ontario. A contractor who cannot show both puts you at financial risk if someone is hurt or something is damaged. We provide ours with every written quote.
