Verdun's housing stock along Wellington Street and the adjacent side streets is defined by early-20th-century triplexes, duplexes and 1920s row homes built over original pine and spruce joists. A century of seasonal movement and settled foundations has left many of these floors uneven, with cupped boards, gaps and persistent squeaks along the load-bearing walls. Before any new surface goes down, the subfloor itself has to be assessed and corrected — a step generic installers routinely skip.
We specialize in flattening these older Verdun subfloors: shimming and sistering joists, repairing water-damaged basement sills and eliminating the squeaks that echo through stacked units. For ground-floor and basement apartments prone to dampness, we specify 100% waterproof Toucan vinyl that tolerates moisture without warping — the right material for Verdun's tight, multi-unit footprints where ventilation is limited.
