What we install
Flooring that fits real life.
The right choice depends on the room, the budget and who — or what — runs through the house after a rainy Nanaimo walk.
Practical style
Laminate
A wood-look option with a broad range of styles and sensible prices. A good pick for busy rooms, tighter budgets and households that can meet a juice-box spill with a quick towel.
Easy-care comfort
Vinyl Plank
Comfortable underfoot with plenty of wood-look options and straightforward upkeep. Product choice and subfloor prep still matter, so we’ll match the material to the actual room.
New add-on
The Warm Floor
Cold bathroom floor, every morning, October to March. We lay radiant heating film under your new floor — you step onto warmth instead. Installed by Hearth & Plank, wired by a licensed electrician.
Service lanes
The Flood Lane.
Water damage doesn’t wait. Neither do we. Once the space is dry and cleared by your restoration crew, we take it from there: damaged flooring out, subfloor assessed, new floor in.
Assess
We measure the damaged area and check the subfloor for moisture before a single plank is ordered.
Match the scope
Like-for-like against your insurance estimate — quoted in writing, line by line.
Replace
Old flooring out, new floor installed to the Hearth & Plank standard — backed by the 5-year craftsmanship warranty.
Our estimate policy, in two lines: like-for-like for insurance — we quote to match your insurer’s scope. Client-paid upgrade path — want a better floor than the policy covers? We price the difference separately. You choose.
How it works
From first walkthrough to final walkthrough.
One free-estimate visit, four clear stages — and we never open with price.
Walk & listen
We walk the space, listen to what you want, and look at what’s actually going on underfoot.
Measure & diagnose
The Hearth & Plank Floor & Subfloor Health Check: we measure, check the subfloor, and flag what the floor needs before a single plank is ordered.
The standard
We walk the install spec together, step by step — The Hearth & Plank Install Standard — so you know exactly what “done right” looks like.
Choose & quote
Options first, then the written project quote. You choose with the full picture — never a surprise at the end.
The craft
The details are the job.
Anyone can lay a plank in the middle of a room. The floor proves itself at the edges — stairs, transitions, doorways, trim. That’s where careful work shows and rushed work hides.
- Tight seams and clean lines, staircases included
- Transitions and trim handled, not left for later
- A final walkthrough together when the work is complete
Project stories
Nine real installations.
No stock-room smoke and mirrors — just real rooms and real finishes.
Good questions
Asked before you ask.
Straight answers to the questions every client asks before booking a free estimate.
How much does it cost?
Every job is measured and quoted on its own — the rooms, the product, and the subfloor all shape the number. Start a free estimate and you’ll get a clear written quote for your actual rooms, not a guess.
Can you match another quote?
We won’t cut the scope to hit a lower number — we’d be the wrong installer for that job. Ask what their quote includes for prep and transitions, then measure both of us against the same install standard.
How long does it take?
Every job runs on its own timeline — your written quote carries the real dates for your home.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes — every installation carries our 5-year craftsmanship warranty: if our workmanship fails, we make it right. Product coverage comes in writing with your quote.
Which areas do you serve?
Hearth & Plank is based in Nanaimo and serves Nanaimo, Lantzville, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Ladysmith, Cedar and Gabriola.
Do you move furniture?
Furniture and appliance moves are planned at the free estimate. You’ll know what needs moving, who handles it and when it goes back before installation day.
What about dust and mess?
Your floors and furniture are protected, the dust is kept down while we work, and the space is left clean when we’re done.
Does vinyl plank handle water better than laminate?
Vinyl plank handles everyday spills better than laminate, but no floor is meant for standing water — quick cleanup still matters. If a room sees real moisture, that’s a product-choice conversation at the free estimate.
