Switch Your Floors

Semko refinished our dated light oak floors with white wooden spindles to a more modern dark stain with black metal spindles and new posts. He did the work on time, on budget and with great care. Would work with Semko again on future projects.

Had new stairs & risers installed & stained! Semko did a very good job! Very thorough! He takes his time to make sure everything is done properly. Cleans up after & makes sure the customer is happy before he leaves! Definitely would recommend this company!!

Semko takes a lot of pride in his work and isn't satisfied unless the job is perfect. He made excellent recommendations for flooring and is an expert on products and their strengths and weaknesses. He worked on budget and on time. Excellent communication.

Semko and his team did an excellent job refinishing our 30 year old herringbone parquet floors. His colour match was perfect as we also had some new prefinished floors being installed. As a designer, and as a client, I appreciated their being competitive, on time and completing the work according to our schedule. Quality workmanship Semko!

I could not be more pleased with my new refurbished stairs and railings! The workmanship is impeccable and the entire experience has been so much better than anticipated. A true craftsman that takes pride in his work and is a pleasure to deal with. I was kept informed everyday regarding next steps and timing for the project. Other floor and stair companies couldn't even get it together to come and do an in person review and prepare a quote. This project was on track from the moment I initially reached out for a discussion. If you are considering having your stairs redone do yourself a favor and contact Semko, you will not be disappointed. Note: The pictures below are before and after. I have to paint the stringers - that was the original deal.

It was a pleasure to work with Semko from Switch Your Floors. His work on the installation of our herringbone flooring, matching stairs, new spindles and banister is absolutely stunning, and exceeded our expectations! The attention to detail and finished product were matched by his great customer service. We couldn't be happier with the work and talent that was put into this project.

Semko renovated our outdated staircase. All throughout the project he was fantastic to work with. You can tell he really cares about the end result, takes pride in his work, and doesn't cut corners. He communicated well throughout the whole project and delivered on time. We were incredibly pleased with the end result and would highly recommend him to others.

We engaged Semko from Switch Your Floors to do an extensive renovation to install and match up existing strip red oak hardwood as well as install new red oak hardwood in the kitchen, den and on the staircase for a full refresh. We were very pleased with the work completed, the excellent communication throughout and the collaboration during the process including a change and expansion of scope of our original work. We look forward to working with you again on our next project !! Thank you Semko for the great work ! Marty & Dale

We are very pleased with the work completed on our staircase. Semko improved on the design we originally outlined. The materials and workmanship were excellent. He always called ahead and arrived on time. We have and will continue to recommend him to friends.

Semko is a true Artist! It was not at all the redo of a standard staircase. In fact, a couple of other companies would not tackle it. He was totally engaged with problem solving, attention to details and addressing non-standard items. He produced a work of art! Totally happy and pleased. Thank you Semko!

I contacted Semko by email to get a quote for replacing stair spindles after reading reviews on this site. He responded almost immediately and visited within a few days. He offered a few options and provided very reasonable quotes for both. On Semko's recommendation, we chose to replace the handrail as well as the spindles and are so happy we did. Our home is 50+ years old so the staircase was quite outdated. As the stairway is in the foyer when you first enter our home, this change has made for a much more updated and modern look. Semko was able to start the project sooner than expected which was a bonus. He is an extremely pleasant young man who is very knowledgeable in his craft, and clearly takes pride in his work. He consulted with us on every step along the way, ensuring the final result was exactly what we wanted and even more. We highly recommend Semko and will certainly contact him again if we have any future projects. Kelly V

Semko changed the look of my whole house! As you can see from the pictures, Semko installed 2,000 sq. ft. of engineer hardwood, re-finished my stairs and found stain to match my floor. He installed a new post and re-finished my railing and spindles. Semko provided innovated ideas and a well thought out plan for this project and was able to execute perfectly. He has great attention to detail and a perfectionist. Very satisfied with the quality of the work. I am very happy that i went with Switch Your Floors for this large project!

Semko did an amazing job. We had an old worn out staircase that needed to be redone in a 120 year old home. Semko took the time to walk us through what was needed &made sure the job was done on budget, on time and it looks event better than we thought. I would highly recommend him for your next job.

I called Semko after reading some of the reviews on this site and was so happy that I did. Semko is as passionate about his craft as anyone I've ever met. Experienced and skilled and willing to listen to Everything you have to say. If you want stairs that look amazing that don't break the bank, go with Semko and Switch Your Floors... you won't regret it!!

I contacted Semko based on the reviews on this site, and I am thrilled with the way the project turned out. Semko capped our existing stairs, lay new hardwood on the landing and replaced the entire railing, post and installed new spindles. Our house is older and these were the original stairs. He did such a phenomenal job (despite some surprises that an old house usually presents) that it's almost impossible to tell that it isn't a brand new staircase. From the initial consult and throughout, he answered all of my questions patiently (and I had a lot of questions...) and always focused on the best and most optimal solution, as opposed to the quickest or easiest fix. He also laid out the cost to ensure clarity, and we met the established budget. Semko offered sound advise and expertise during the process, and was very committed to quality - he takes pride in his work. He's one of the most hardworking professionals that I have come across, and his attention to detail is second to none.

Semko did a fantastic job installing my flooring. My home is pie-shaped, with lots corners and he was able to skillfully install the floors with no issues. With his attention to detail and perfectionism, the floors look beautiful. The thresholds are perfect. I look forward to working with him again on my stairs!

Amazing job by Semko and his team from Switch Your Floors. Great quality and professional service. Very reasonable in pricing and provides great suggestions and honest opinions. Very satisfied with my new stairs and floors!

My overall experience with “Switch Your Floors” was great. From the quote to finishing the job, Semko and his team was knowledgeable, professional with focus on a quality work and customer satisfaction. They installed Cumaru steps for us, replaced nosings and also replaced part of Cumaru hardwood. We highly recommend the company to anyone.

Semko is a consummate professional. I needed the basement railing repaired in a short order since its shakiness presented a potential fall hazard. Semko visited my house a day after the initial contact, diagnosed the problem, suggested a solution and implemented it a day after. Even though it was a relatively small job, he took time to do it right and to explain to me, in detail, what was done wrong during the original installation over 20 years ago and my subsequent DIY attempts at repair. Semko is a homeowner’s dream contractor and I am looking forward to hiring him again in the near future.

Switch Your Floors has just finished putting hardwood flooring in our dining room, hall and living room. In the dining room there was wall-to-wall carpet which of course had to be removed, wich took the longest time. Once a layer of plywood was applied in the whole area, the actual laying of the hardwood floors was quite quick. I am delighted with the finished look; I particularly appreciate the finishing details. The job took 7 days as promised.

Really disappointed. We contacted Semko two months ago. He came to take measurements and after we followed up he sent a quote. We said we'd like to proceed. We had to follow up several times. Finally, he said he would show up yesterday to start the project. We took time off work to be home and not only did he not show up, he also hasn't returned our phone call to even explain why! We've now lost a couple of months time and have to go back to the drawing board to find someone else. Not to mention the time we took off work to meet him for the quote and to be there when he said he would start the project. He seemed really conscientious when he came to do the quote, but sadly there was no follow through.

Semko met and exceeded our expectations when refinishing our stairs. He is a fine young man who takes great pride in his work and works tirelessly until the job meets his standards. He consulted us on all decisions and helped us make the right choices. We love the outcome and would recommend him highly.

Semco responded quickly when I reached out to him for an emergency floor repair. He came right away, did an excellent job on the repairs and charged me a very fair price. I would certainly use him again and I will be recommending him to friends and family as well.

It was a great pleasure working with Semko! He has done a fantastic job for our stairs project. He’s very detailed oriented, always discuss with you to make sure every single detail is what you expect before taking on actions. He had given me some good suggestions in terms of our overall project and it turned out to be exactly what I wanted. He switched our whole stairs and floored 3 landing areas. It was not easy to match stairs colour with our main floor but he did his best and I’m really satisfied with the result.

Semko installed our main level railing. He was prompt with his replies and was able to provide an on-site quote just a day after we had initially discussed the work to be completed. He provided us a few different options in different price ranges and was conscious of our budget and style. In the end we had a beautiful railing in our front foyer and his work has been admired by our friends and family. He is extremely detailed and took the time to ensure our custom stain was perfect and the measurements precise. We have already referred him to two different people for floor installs as well. I would be happy to speak to any future clients directly to share my happy experience working with Semko!

Semko at Switch Your Floors is everything you could want from a professional. We hired him to refinish our stairs, and we were very impressed with the results. Throughout the process, he was detail-oriented, precise, reliable and very communicative. It was a pleasure working with him, and we’re thrilled with the final result. We’ll definitely use Semko again the future.

Stamkos contacted us very quickly when we used Houzz to find a stair repair person. We had him in to look at the stair issue and get a quote. After looking at the problem, he gave us a reasonable quote and said he could do the work immediately. After 2 hours the work was done and the problem solved. We found him to be a personable gentleman as well, so we’re quite pleased to have found him through Houzz.

Semko came highly recommended from my sister who used him for her floor reno. I hired Semko for two condo renos to replace all floors. The quality of his work is amazing. He is such a perfectionist! Extremely reliable, reasonably priced, efficient and really cares about his work.

Switch Your Floors installer was very dependable, reliable, detail oriented and very professional; a pleasure to work with; would highly recommend.

I was looking for a professional installer for my engineered hardwood floors in my condo. Switch My Floors was recommended to me through a friend who previously has used them during his floor installation. The recommendation was perfect! Semco was very professional and did a amazing job during the install. Fast, tidy, amazing attention to detail and super friendly! Highly recommend for anyone looking for anything to do with floors.

Switch Your Floors did an amazing job refinishing our stairs and railings. They did a great job matching the colour of the stairs to the colour of the existing floors. They were very kind and very detail oriented. We will recommend this company to everyone.

Semko did and extraordinary job on my floors, i had my bedrooms and basement finished. He recommended an amazing product and colour, really knows how to work with all types of hardwood and trims. He is the only guy i would recommend to any builder or home owner. Amazing worker kind hearted and very friendly.
