What we install
Flooring that fits real life.
The best 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.
How it works
From “this floor has seen things” to done.
One free-estimate visit, four clear stages — and we never open with price.
Walk & listen
We walk the space and learn the story — how the rooms get used, what’s not working, and what matters to you.
Measure & diagnose
Bang’s 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 Driftwood Install Standard — so you know exactly what “done right” looks like.
Menu & number
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 homeowner 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?
I won’t cut the scope to hit a lower number — I’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 10-year craftsmanship warranty. If the install itself fails because of our workmanship, we make it right. Product coverage is separate and comes in writing with your quote — to make a claim, just call or message us.
Do you install ceramic tile?
No — ceramic tile isn’t offered. The focus is floors: hardwood, laminate and vinyl plank, sold and installed by Bang himself.
Which areas do you serve?
Driftwood Flooring is based in Nanaimo and serves Nanaimo, Lantzville, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Ladysmith and Cedar.
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.
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.
