Real jobs, photographed on site — not stock images. Six installations across Vancouver and Burnaby, including the subfloor prep that most galleries leave out.
Every photo below is from a Craftbuild installation. Where we have them, the before shots are included — the subfloor is where a flooring job is won or lost, and it is the part you never see once the planks are down. Client names and addresses are withheld.
Wide-plank white oak installed with the glue-down method across the main living areas, hallways, kitchen and dining room. Glue-down gives a solid underfoot feel with no hollow sound — the right call in a character home where the subfloor and room shapes are anything but square.
A high-rise unit taken from bare concrete to finished floor. The slab was levelled first, then waterproof SPC plank was laid throughout. Concrete in towers is rarely flat enough to install over directly — the prep is what stops the clicking and gapping later.
Vinyl plank through the living room, kitchen, dining area and hallway, with the staircase wrapped to match. Stairs are the part most installers quote around; matching them to the floor is what makes the job read as one piece instead of two.
Concrete subfloor prepped and levelled, then laminate installed throughout. The before photos show what most slabs actually look like once the old covering comes up.
Decades of old adhesive stripped off the plywood subfloor, the low spots patched and screeded flat, then hardwood glued down. Most of the work on a job like this happens before a single plank goes in.
Laminate laid through the bedrooms, hallway and kitchen of a vacant unit. Running one continuous floor with no thresholds between rooms makes a small space read larger.
